Mining Operations Affecting the Elk River and Sorroundings

Here is a link to some information regarding resource extraction in the Elk Valley. These are mining proposals that are quite simply unacceptable to introduce to a watershed as magnificent as the Elk. Eco-Tourism is clearly a more sustainable and healthy route to the future of our residents and I strongly urge anyone opposed to this to forward commentary. Coal Bed Methane Extraction is not what we need in our headwaters!!!! The open pit mining operation at the headwaters by Cline Minging is contained within the document below.
