"Ex-Forest Service chief at House hearing: Don’t make Boundary Waters testing ground for acid mine drainage:" Minnesota Reformer, February 5, 2020. "The administration has refused to disclose the findings of any of that evidence to either Congress or the public,”...“If this review had truly suggested that sulfide ore copper mining does not threaten the Boundary Waters, then I would assume they would simply have completed and released the study." - Thomas Tidwell, Retired Forest Service Chief Yesterday, the House Natural Resources Committee held a hearing on Rep. Betty McCollum’s bill H.R. 5598, a bill entitled “The Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act,” in the U.S. House of Representatives. You might have heard a number of red herrings and falsehoods from those opposed to H.R. 5598. Read our full blog post here correcting the record. Rep. McCollum's bill would permanently remove the threat of sulfide-ore mining in the watershed of the BWCAW and establish the protections needed to keep two national treasures - both the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Voyageurs National Park - pristine for all generations to come.
