Your voices were heard - mining company denied water from the Smith

Some good news regarding that proposed nickel mine at the headwaters of the Smith river, one of the crown jewels of the National Wild and Scenic River program.

The Oregon Water Resources Department has denied the application from the Red Flat Nickel Corp, in part due to the overwhelming substantive comments they received from you, the public, and public trust agencies.

Fighting Goliath

The goal of this campaign is to protect the beautiful Lochsa and Clearwater rivers of north central Idaho from the oil industry and tar sands-bound “megaload” traffic on U.S. Highway 12. These two rivers were among the first protected by the federal Wild & Scenic Rivers Act in 1968.
