On March 6th, the PolyMet draft permit to mine public input period closed. As PolyMet is proposing the first copper-nickel sulfide ore mine in Minnesota history, MCEA is leading an effort to ensure that people who live downstream, Minnesota's water, and Minnesota taxpayers are protected. MCEA hosted a petition to the Minnesota DNR that resulted in 2,350 public comments that were delivered in person. In addition, we submitted detailed scientific and legal analysis of PolyMet's proposal and the draft permit.
