lake superior

A mystery lies scattered on the silty bottom of Lake Superior a few miles from Duluth Harbor. On seven occasions between 1959 and 1962, U.S. Army contractors dumped more than 1,400 steel barrels of classified material from Honeywell operations at the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) in Arden Hills into the cold waters Lake Superior.

The country’s largest source of fresh water, Lake Superior, is at risk. A mining company has applied to place an acid-producing mine right underneath a key Lake Superior tributary. The proposed mining area is a key corridor for wildlife including moose and wolves and stands to pollute air, surface water and ground water.

Send a letter to tell the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality that these permit requests should be denied. Our fresh water is not worth the risk!

Could all of these be caused by global warming?
