“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men, or greedy interests, skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Please join us for the Silica Sand Mining Update tomorrow

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Wishing you well,
Bonita
 

 
Please try to attend.  MPR is misreporting about this issue, claiming that mining within 1 miles of trout was banned by the legislature.  Senator Schmit did try to get that in law, but the pro-mining folks defeated it.  Under the compromise that passed, mining is allowed with a permit from the DNR. 
People working to make sure frac sand is adequately regulated tell me that the industry most likely wants people think that any additional measures are overly burdensome.  Review coverage from last April and May.  Thanks.
