Boundary Waters Situation

[Poser]

TDS is such a fascinating malady to witness in real time! It sickens me it even permeates the hunting and fishing sites I frequent. I am just thankful that the vagina hat , pink, green , blue , purple hair group do not frequent the backcountry I roam!

Trump Devotion Syndrome is such a fascinating malady to witness in real time! It sickens me it even permeates the hunting and fishing sites I frequent. I am just thankful that the red hat, low IQ, science denying, illogical fat POS cry baby group do not frequent the backcountry I roam!

They had interest before Trump was president.

They formally formed in 2010.

How original!

Indeed. Interesting how that works, eh?

I am a resident of the 218 as well. I live on a river downstream from the BWCA watershed and fish Rainy Lake, Rainy River and Lake of the Woods a LOT. I support mining in Minnesota but not this mine, in this place under this proposal. Some ecosystems are too pristine and important to risk. The Iron mining on the Mesabi Range? Absolutely support it.

I am 100% anti-fraud since it seems that is somehow relevant to this discussion.

For the love of everything holy, can we just discuss issues without the political tribal retardation rearing it's head?

Our national level politicians are nearly all uniparty corrupt parasites. Why people continue to get their panties in a wad to defend them rather than the individual issues is insane.

AHH, everywhere there is a copper mine there is high polution. The ore will go to China for smelting and possibly never return the the US. All for a reported few hundred jobs. Latest report says they will be largely imported workers from Chile.

Well you are proving my point :
“The Copper Basin Mining District in Copperhill, TN, is a 50-square-mile Superfund site shaped by 150 years of intense copper/sulfur mining (1850s–1987) that caused severe deforestation and water pollution. It is known for the historic Burra Burra Mine, Acid Plant, and major environmental remediation efforts,”

Also I have some experience in Chilean copper mines and it seems like there are many imported workers from the USA leading the charge there. I could imagine some blasting techs , geologists or consulting process engineers may come up up from calama but only a fool would suggest that they are importing welders , mechanics , operators . Secretaries , security , biologists .

Please please please inform yourself instead of crying wolf like the BHA chicken littles

 

[Yoteassasin]

For clarity on this one . What is being approved is the beginning of the discussion about a mine. What happens after is a decade or more of EORs and prentice remediation plans . What will blow your mind if you are calm enough to read them .

For all you nay sayers and even those on board please familiarize your self with the McLaughlin mine in Knoxville ca . This is an great example of contemporary mine management

Basically, I'm pointing out the need for Minnesotans to remove the log from their own eyes before pointing out the splinters in others

Well every state has their own “log”, that doesn’t mean we can’t also care about other issues. Arkansas is ranked last in child hunger most years, but if the feds were trying sell off the Buffalo National River I’d hope the response on Rokslide wouldn’t be “figure out why all your kids are going hungry, then we’ll help you fight this”

 

[littlebigtine]

So much here is typical straw man talking points . Maybe Inform yourself on the goings on . Fortunately me no one is my boogy man. Remember who unleashed this wolf scourge on us , refuses to manage predators, and who lives in the tract houses what are encroaching on habitat . .

And lastly no some kid who wants to get into hunting is not bad . Infact I regularly volunteer my time to teach and mentor young hunters .. However I’d prefer not to see another Patagonia wearing tech bro sporting a tikka who isn’t doing it because they actually love the land and the animals.
Instead it’s some fratboy flex for insta or ticktock.

Now back to
The mining discussion . Can you give me some contemporary examples where a new mine polluted a watershed to the point of enduring habitat destruction in the last 26 years ?

Grok:

Freeport-McMoRan’s Sierrita Mine — Green Valley, Arizona (active/ongoing)

This is one of the most documented cases of a currently operating copper mine polluting a watershed. Seepage from the 3,600-acre tailings pond at the Sierrita mine sent a plume of contaminated groundwater toward the retirement community of Green Valley, causing drinking water wells to record high levels of sulfates. The collection system failed to capture the contaminated mine seepage completely, and public water supply wells serving Green Valley were affected by the sulfate contamination. Freeport-McMoRan entered into a mitigation agreement with Arizona regulators as a result.

Look it up, there are several contemporary copper and zinc mines in Arizona that have contaminated drinking water wells and depleted the aquifers.

In just the tool and die and manufacturing industry, not to mention the companies that build heat exchangers, some for the big bad ships that run the globe , there are thousands of jobs that rely on copper/nickel, to say that this possible mining operation would only impact a few hundred working the mine is inaccurate.

You're 100% correct, but sadly so many folks in our fine country have decided to base their entire existence in life on loyalty to their chosen political team. Common sense be damned, folks are willing to fight to the death in defense of their political lords.

America is cooked.

I hear you 100%. But we are not cooked….we are just a little to close to the oven, plenty of room to change things up. But it does seem too many “bad things” get deeply put into motion

 

[Idaboy]

I mean, aren't you Minnesotans used to that already. Except the local jobs are funded by taxpayers and the money still goes to another foreign country........

All this orange man hate cracks me up. It's clearly wrong to mine this area, but consider what's already wrong in your state via who's been voted into state offices.

So have you lived in MN? To answer your question; no,we are not “used to” to anything

Live in an ice cube where the voting majority lack reasoning and morality?

Sure, sign me up. I've always like the Vikings.

Do you even hear yourself? It won't be that difficult to start digging up historical examples of lack of reason and morality amongst voters in the great state of South Carolina, which we can totally pin the tail on the donkey and hold you personally responsible if you want to play the tit for tat game.
What is it with the score keeping? "Your state had an unrelated case of fraud so I'm going to be an anti conservationists AND I am going to spite you for it"

Mostly, I woke up grumpy and I'm getting tickled pink with trolling. Sometimes it's just fun getting peoples' goat on the interwebz

I don't claim South Carolina. I just live in annexed Ohio.
