TU recently posted a pretty fair update on the saga that is Tintina’s (mining company) objective to plant a mine in some of the most critical headwaters of Montana’s Smith River; read the full piece here.
TU correctly notes that, after three tries, Tintina has, as of 14 August, had their permit approved, finally opening the door on the most critical part of this process – the research and preparation of the EIS (Environmental Impact Statement).
Read the entire piece, it’s concise with several targeted calls to action.
Now things get a bit more interesting.
