The Real Story of Taconite SO4 Legacy- The Buzzards Have Landed
with The Mining Guys - Chris Balwin, retired Mining Engineer, Mike Maleska, retired taconite miner and union leader, and Chris Baldwin, Science Educator

The bioaccumulation effects of 50 + years of taconite mining is clearly visible in brown vegetation seen in the aerial photographs taken last June, of all the taconite tailings piles and indicate many years of 'underflow' seepage. The long term 'wishful thinking' policy of sulfate containment and remediation is that there is 'not enough to worry about.' Yet, scientific examination of public sampling data collected monthly for fifty years indicates there is reason to advocate for a moratorium on new mining permits and reexamination of the 1979 regional study.
