Has anyone heard about the copper mines that were pushed through legislation? There’s one scheduled near Superior (Resolution Copper mine) that will result in a 1.8 mile 1000 ft pit that will eventually take out Oak Flat campground and some trails to Apache Leap have already been ruined due to test drilling. Not to mention the mine will use over 250 billion gallons of ground water over 40 years.

Is anyone else seeing this happening? Is there anything we can do to stop it?
