Environmental Groups Suspect Cover-Up
A day after the Department of Environmental Quality's surprise announcement that it was withdrawing it preliminary approval for a mine in the Yellow Dog Plains, environmental groups are now suggesting the DEQ might be involved in a cover-up …
"We still have concerns with the integrity of the process and what's going on at the lower levels of the DEQ," said Michelle Halley of the National Wildlife Federation, which opposes the mine. "There may be other reports or other information that are being suppressed."
She also claimed that opponents of the proposed mine have been stymied in their attempts to get documents under the Freedom of Information Act.
