Halt PolyMet's Dangerous Dam Before It's Too Late

Another mine tailings dam disaster in Brazil has killed 169 people, with 141 still missing. PolyMet's mine tailings dam is directly connected to the tragedy in Brazil - it uses the same design, the same consulting engineer, and used the same method to gauge the risk of collapse that failed in Brazil. Brazil has now banned the design that Minnesota would permit for PolyMet because it is so dangerous.

Take action today and tell the Minnesota DNR to halt PolyMet's dangerous dam.
