I wish we’d do more copper mining here in Arizona ... the Copper State.
I remember years ago hearing some talk of reactivating the mine at Ajo; anything ever come of that?
I’ll guess why it’s not happening so much...
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
Clean Air Act (CAA)
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
Clean Water Act (CWA)
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
Am I close?
In Arizona Rosemont Copper for years has been blocked by state and local environmentalists from opening a new and very rich mine in Pima County. The United States is not an investment friendly country despite what Trump tried to change.
