EIS on 11 proposed frac sand mines

Dear Friends and Neighbors,   An Environmental Impact Statement on 11 proposed frac sand mines in Fillmore, Houston, and Winona counties is beginning this summer, led by the Environmental Quality Board (a MN state agency).    You are invited to a Land Stewardship Project event to help make sure this study starts off right, and the scope includes all of the many concerns local people have about the impacts of this destructive industry.   Come to learn more, share your concerns, and get involved.    Tuesday, July 9, 2013, 6:30-9:00 pm (registration 6:00)   Montini Hall at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Rushford, MN     Participation by each of us is important in the EIS process.   Details will be coming from Land Stewardship Project, Johanna Rupprecht  (507-523-3366) or jrupprecht@landstewardshipproject.org.
