Outdoor Recreation Committee hearing to make sure our legislators ask the 
right, tough questions about the proposed sulfide mines in our state.

Office Building (100 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., St. Paul, MN  
55155).  We suggest you come 30-60 minutes early to ensure you get a seat.  
Please register HERE.

Sincerely,

Dear Madeline, 






Will you make sure our legislators ask the right questions about proposed 
sulfide mines in Northern Minnesota?  Click HERE to register!



Help us ensure the Minnesota Legislature asks the right questions next Tuesday 
during their informational hearing on copper-nickel sulfide mine proposals like 
PolyMet and Twin Metals.

Can you attend the hearing?

It's critical that we show our elected officials that Minnesotans are 
concerned about the impact of sulfide mine proposals on Minnesota's 
land, water, and way of life.  Minnesotans deserve an answer on the following 
before this new type of mine is allowed to go forward:



How will state officials and the mining companies prevent a Mount Polley 
disaster from happening in Minnesota?
What has the DNR done to address over 58,000 comments on the PolyMet proposal?
What will the DNR and other agencies do to protect Lake Superior and the 
Boundary Waters from water pollution from this new type of mining?
How much money will Polymet be required to provide as a Damage Deposit?
Will the state ensure an entirely independent review with outside experts 
before the permit is granted to make sure that the specifications for the 
building of the tailings dam is adequate?

The Mining and Outdoor Recreation Committee has invited companies that want to 
mine sulfide ore in Northern Minnesota to testify and we must ensure the voices 
of Minnesotans are heard too.  Will you join?

Event Details:

WHO: You and everybody you know who has questions or is concerned about sulfide 
mining

WHAT: Informational hearing on sulfide mining at the Minnesota Capitol

WHEN: 2:45 – 4:30 PM, Tuesday February 3rd. We expect that the room will fill, 
so please arrive 30-60 minutes early to ensure you get a seat.

WHERE: Room 10, Minnesota State Office Building (100 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther 
King Jr. Boulevard, St. Paul, Minnesota 55155.)

WHY: To show the depth of concern Minnesotans have about the impact of sulfide 
mining on our state
Thanks for all you do to protect Minnesota from sulfide mining pollution.

Sincerely,
