Mining Impacts to the Human and Natural Environments

A compendium of resources and issues

Update:

Both Manatee and Hardee county are not satisfied with their current permits ( sigh, some relief), so they have both postponed their meetings on this until July 31 and June 30th, respectively. I'll send an email next that summarizes Manatee county decision. Hardee just struck it from the agenda saying they were not satisfied with the economic forecast and are gathering more information. You may certainly post this to your web, and thanks to all concerned folks who wrote the commissioners!
