Thanks for the detail on the Snip, and for your postings about the environmental hazards. FWIW a google search turned up this paragraph; "Though Cominco closed its Snip Mine near Snippaker Creek in 1999, the Friends of the Stikine claim that during its operation the 100,000 pound hovercraft to transport ore and supplies along the lower Iskut and Stikine Rivers significantly damaged wildlife and salmon spawning habitat. Mining exploration is ongoing in the region." I suppose an opinion like that was to be expected from our green friends. I wonder if it is supported by any evidence.

Is that true? DDT, agent orange? DDT is deadly and agent orange has dioxin (super deadly) and stays in the soil and is absorbed by the plants. Many orange groves have so much of a build up of dioxin the oranges have trace amounts. EC: * if you think I am exaggerating ask a farmer what happens if he gets a rip in his environmental suit he must wear when spraying insecticide on crops.. ask him if would have shortened his life significantly.. answer is one exposure is deadly.. DDT and agent orange are used on CDN wheat.. and they laugh at me when I say I eat organic

I know I primarily lurk and sometimes post, but living in Alaska and watching what has happened to Kensington Mine I'm more than a little paranoid of anything which might involve permits in our area. Under the guise of environmental protection Kensington gets told gee the Army Corps made a mistake, and oh no, we won't reimburse you for any expenses you may have incurred under the assumption we knew what we were doing when granting the permit. I've looked at Kensington's proposal, reviewed the amount of funds they have backing up the mine and I'm utterly amazed it isn't going forward. This is affecting people who live, eat and breathe in my community, but it appears we are more interested in protecting what is in a puddle than our own human beings. Maybe I should change from CathyJ to Paranoid in Alaska. Cat
