Phil,
That was my primary concern. It appears to be an exercise in presenting the
mining industry with an environmentally friendly face. But there is more to
the environment than water quality, flora and fauna - and one mans eyesore
might be a valuable historic structure to another - all aspects of a site
need to be taken into consideration.
