I know that we have a say in whether there is sulfide mining or not. but the question is who's listening. I am a K.I.Sawyer transplant who has been here since 1981. I say no to sulfide mining becouse the way it's done, the cleansing,the chemical run-off can't be kept local due to the soil saturation. It will destroy and they won't be able to replace what is gone.To say it will bring jobs is to say Flnt, are you better now that the parts plant in your town closed. Say no and mean it!

I went camping at Big Ericks near the western edge on the huron river. It is truely amazing. I think the only other place that was comparable was Northern Idaho near Florence or western Montana. It is like a little minerature version of the northern rockies. I would say all you yahoos from illinois and lower michigan should go on a trip to the norther rockies. You would know exactly what I mean. You would literally cry having to come back and see what industry has done to this once beutifull area in the U.P. I think that it is still pretty and I live on the east side by escanaba. I literally cried when I had to come home from my vacation to Cor De lene or however you spell it. It was in in northern Idaho and the Grayling Fishing was excellent.You know I think it is a losing Battle around here and the huron mountain club is fighting but there is plenty of great trout fishing left out west and beutiful places inaccessable by motor vehicles.If anything cut the loss here and gain some out there.

I cant see another animal get extinct. That would be Horrible. I have loved nature since I was a kid and I dont want it to dissapear right in front of my eyes. I have a cabin by the one of the lakes in Big Bay and I would hate to go up there up there one day to see it destryoed and ruined. I havent even showed my many friends the wonderful landscape. SO SAY NO TO SULFIDE MINING!!!!!!!!!

I think that Sulfide Mining is a stupid thing to go with and like. All it does is hurt the Enviroment and it hurts the air and the space around it and I think that Every one should say no.

As a fourth generation "Yooper" (and also a property owner/taxpayer in Powell Township, Marquette County, Michigan), I too recognize the potential devastation of sulfide mining on the local environment. We do not need the risk of this type of pollution from mining, nor the increased traffic and danger of heavy trucking on this area of the Yellow Dog Plains and the surrounding watershed and roads. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is fortunately one of the few inhabited "wild" spaces left in the lower 48 States! Let's not ruin it for our posterity. We can take responsible action now to prevent a catastrophe like this planned mine from happening…Let's do so!
