“No plant, animal, bird, reptile or fish species at risk. No significant wetlands, woodlots or areas of natural or scientific interest. Bottom line-NO impact on water” (Pages 18 & 20 of Highlands Handout from July 25, 2009 Open House)
Seriously??? A 2,400 acre, 200 foot open pit mine that will require pumping until the end of time to keep the hole dry and there is NO impact on ANYTHING?
Wonder how this mama snapping turtle would feel about that statement as she laid her eggs on the 5th line in Melancthon, mere steps from the “Lowndes Land Assembly”? I guess she won't be impacted because she has special status under the Endangered Species Act??? She should feel good that a piece of paper is going to keep her and her babies safe, because Highlands has no intention of doing so.
Quite frankly, I think I would rather try my chances petting a snapping turtle than a wolf in sheep’s clothing....
