Nordic Mining started work on a mine that would dump 250 million tonnes of mine waste into a National Salmon Fjord. Norwegian allies have been fighting hard for years to stop Nordic’s disastrous plans to pollute the fjord, and they aren’t backing down now.
More than $80 million has been spent to contain the massive piles of contaminated mine waste and treat polluted water. But new mine proposals threaten to undermine this massive investment. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management can protect the cleanup efforts.
Liquified natural gas (LNG) bomb trains were given a greenlight to roll through cities and towns across our country by a 2019 Trump executive order. This is incredibly dangerous, as a train derailment would allow this liquid to become highly explosive gas — the LNG from just one rail tank car alone could cause city-wide destruction and mass casualties. Twenty-two tank cars filled with LNG holds the equivalent energy of the Hiroshima bomb.
Thousands of people downstream from the mine. Sign the petition to demand that Equinox Gold comprehensively address the violations of the rights of community members in Aurizona and immediately restore their access to clean drinking water.
We must address the shortcomings of the archaic 1872 Mining Law to protect the air, water, and lands of Indigenous and other mining-affected communities.
