WaterLegacy Calls for New Process to Restore “Public” and “Information” to the PolyMet Draft EIS Meeting Process.

See the December 8, 2009  Press release that summarizes needed improvements.  Star-Tribune story

WaterLegacy and other citizen groups are requesting additional public meetings, a more open public process and extension of the time for comment on the draft environmental impact statement.   Read the letter to the Lead Agencies ...   1/19/2010 MDNR and USACE denied request for additional public meetings.

It seems from conversations with the MDNR that letters from environmental groups or individuals requesting additional time and meetings may be effective to improve the public process for the next revision, the PolyMet Supplemental EIS public comment period.  Please feel free to adapt or borrow from this letter and send your own individual or group requests for an extended and improved public process.

Please also feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
