Sulfide Mining Protest @ 5/3rd Building
Protest Sulfide Mining and the Law Firm that Profits from It
June 11 - Noon
5/3rd Building (111 Lyon St)
Grand Rapids, MI 49503
Join Coaster Brook Earth First! for a protest at the offices of Warner, Norcross, and Judd, LLP in downtown Grand Rapids. The law firm is providing legal counsel to Kennecott Minerals, a company seeking to open a controversial sulfide mine in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Mining in sulfide-rich areas produces acid mine drainage--sulfuric acid that can leak into nearby wells, streams, and lakes. Mining on the Yellow Dog Plains could alter water quality and flow, devastating this fragile eco-system and threatening the health of various waterways.
