The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is accepting comments from July 28 until Aug. 27 on an environmental assessment worksheet related to the proposed Mile Post 7 project, located in Lake County.
Northshore Mining Company proposes relocating the west ridge railroad, progressing Dams 1 and 2, constructing a Dam 1 rail switchback, and developing a clay borrow site at the Mile Post 7 tailings basin. The proposal also includes approximately 12,900 linear feet of stream mitigation across four sites.
A copy of the EAW is available on the project page of the DNR website (mndnr.gov/Input/Environmental-Review/mile-post-7-tailings-basinproject. html).
