Thompson Sells Out Wisconsin's Resources to Mining Interests

Wednesday, October 28,1998 - A coalition of citizens groups released a 12
page report today exposing a pattern of abuse of power by Governor
Thompson's Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in their regulatory
authority over metallic mining activities in Wisconsin.

Concentrating on events of recent years and the present pro-mining bias at
the DNR, this report connects the compromises made by the politicized DNR
to the money spent by the mine's supporters. It documents over $600,000 in
contributed to Tommy Thompson's political campaign and over $7,000,000 in
other influence-buying activities by the mining companies and those with a
financial stake in seeing a successful permitting of the Crandon mine.

Tom Wilson <resenergy@aol.com> of the Headwaters Group of Northern Thunder,
one of the principal authors of the report, observed, "In recent years
we've seen reduced effectiveness of the DNR in many regulatory areas, but
never is this bias so pervasive and blatant as it is with regard to
metallic mining. We are giving away our valuable natural resources to
foreign corporations and sacrificing both our pristine environment and our
political institutions to make this happen."

This is the third in a series of reports discussing Governor Thompson's
political control over Wisconsin's DNR. Each report in the series explores
a specific example of these negative changes. The first report
<http://www.wsn.org/issues/DNRexpose.html> documented the
influence of large paper company political contributions to the state's
handling of the PCB issue in the lower Fox River Valley. The second report
<http://www.wsn.org/issues/DNRexpose2a.html> told of an intervention by
top-level DNR officials in a local shoreland zoning violation,
demonstrating how the rich and powerful get special consideration from
Thompson's DNR.

The report's co-author, Jim Wise <ecowise@newnorth.net> of the
Environmentally Concerned Citizens of the Lakeland Area, noted that
although mining has become an increasingly partisan issue in recent years,
this is not a wholesale condemnation of all Republicans or an uncritical
assessment of all Democratic legislators. "We would like to see
representatives from both political parties look closely at where this
sell-out to the mining industry is taking our state and redirect their
attention to meaningful legislation that will reconfirm our state's
historic tradition of the defense of the environment."

The timing of this reports release is designed to emphasize the degree to
which both the DNR and the mining company have delayed the disclosure of
certain critical and controversial decisions until the politically-charged
environment of the state election has passed. Wilson explained, "After the
election, we expect to see a flurry of activity on the proposed changes in
the Crandon mine plan, the Emergency Disaster Fund, and other potentially
unpopular decisions. When that happens, we just want to be able to say, 'We
told you so!'"

Dave Blouin <burroak15@aol.com> representing the Sierra Club summarized,
"This report confirms and documents what most Wisconsin citizens already
know; the DNR has lost its independent status as a regulatory authority and
is now driven almost exclusively by political considerations based on
campaign contributions to the Thompson Administration - especially on
mining issues."

The group made four major recommendations for restoring good government and
sound environmental regulation in this area:

Restore the political independence of the DNR.
Restore the independent Wisconsin Public Intervenor's Office.
Institute meaningful campaign finance reform.
Reform and enforce existing mining regulatory statutes and rules to meet the
environmental, political and economic needs of Wisconsin's citizens and their
communities.

Key Points:

Giving the Governor the power to appoint and fire the DNR's Secretary
position has added an unacceptable level of political influence in this
agency's regulatory authority.
Elimination of the Public Intervernors Office has removed a critical
safeguard against abuse of power in Wisconsin.
One of Thompson's first cabinet appointments was an Exxon mining lobbyist
who, for the next decade, spearheaded the consolidation of power under the
Governor and orchestrated the compromise of Wisconsin's mining laws.
The Thompson administration illegally used tribal gaming compact
negotiations to seek concessions from the tribes relating to air and
groundwater standards granted to reservation lands.
It took the intervention of the governor of another state to force the DNR
to reconsider the advisability of dumping mine wastewater into the
Wisconsin River.
Radical cuts in the DNR budget in the name of "administrative efficiency"
have resulted in a cancellation of baseline water quality measurements
ahead of proposed mining activities.
In their haste to accommodate a mining proposal, the DNR spent over
$300,000 in taxpayer money on project evaluation for a mine that never
happened and for which they are unlikely to be reimbursed.
The DNR consistently refuses to consider the negative economic impacts of
mining activities on future development of communities and other businesses
in the watershed.
Nicolet Minerals has been allowed to operate in Wisconsin without ever
having registered with the Department of Commerce as required by law.
The DNR recently applied 'window dressing' modifications to the state's
groundwater rules but mining waste facilities still don't have to meet the
same standards required for solid waste facilities.
The Governor and his DNR are now claiming credit for the Mining Moratorium
Law, but they fought tooth and nail to prevent its passage.
This is not a totally partisan issue. Noted Democrats have sold out to
mining company contributions and contracts and a few brave Republicans have
voted their consciences rather than their pocketbooks.
Thompson's DNR has failed to enforce the provisions of the Mining
Moratorium Law in a timely fashion and Nicolet Minerals has indicated they
will try to subvert its requirements.
DNR and Nicolet have delayed releasing important environmental documents
until after the election but continue to work closely on unpublished plans
to allow fast-track approval once the political heat is off.
Thompson's Science Advisory Council is an extra-legal level of control by
the Thompson administration that has indicated it will not consider
important environmental evidence.
The DNR and the Natural Resources Board have delayed for nine months in
establishing minimal contributions to the State Emergency Disaster Fund for
Mining, again waiting until after the elections.
It took over 20 years for Flambeau Mining to get their permits for the
Ladysmith mine, but the DNR tried to allow them to change their reclamation
plan without any public review.
Special tax status for mining companies in Wisconsin allow them to return
less to the state than any other industry and place us below third-world
status with regard to economic benefits from mining activities.
DNR's attempt to clear up "Misconceptions About Mining in Wisconsin" is a
biased, one-sided attack on the environmental community and implies total
DNR agreement with mining company propaganda.
DNR officials operate with blinders against any knowledge of wrongdoing by
the that want to operate in Wisconsin.
The much repeated mantra "Wisconsin has the toughest mining laws in the
country" is just plain wrong!

Recommendations

Restore the political independence of the DNR to make the DNR Secretary a
position which answers to a Seven-member Natural Resources Board consisting
of citizens appointed by the Governor and Legislature, serving staggered
6-year terms.

Restore the Wisconsin Public Intervenor's Office to watchdog the actions of
the DNR, and intervene, if necessary, to protect public rights in natural
resources.
Enact campaign Finance Reform that includes:

  limits on campaign spending together with sufficient public financing to
make the spending
  limits work,
  limit out-of-district contributions to 10% of the total raised,
  limit special interest contributions and specifically prohibit corporate
contributions, and

Lower the costs of electioneering such as making free media available for
candidates.

Reform and enforce existing mining regulatory statutes and rules including:
  Demand compliance with Mining Moratorium Law before processing lengthy permit
applications.
  Require a binding public referendum before finalizing local agreements.
  Eliminate the right of elected officials to unilaterally sign away
established zoning and land use rights established by the community.
  Apply RCRA Sub. C hazardous waste containment criteria to mine tailings
facilities.
  Establish a perpetual Mine Disaster Emergency Fund at no less that the
$5.00 per ton.
  Honor tribal right to establish ground and water quality standards.
  Provide sufficient resources to assure local communities the ability to
set and enforce their own environmental standards and zoning regulations
without the threat of economic blackmail from multinational corporations.
  Revise Mining Impact Fund allocation guidelines to support all
communities impacted by mining activities.
  Establish a reasonable taxation system or profit sharing formula for
resource extraction to give state and local governments a meaningful stake
in the projects proposed.
  Revise mineral rights disclosure laws to assure all landowners know their
rights to the resources beneath their land.

2. WISCONSIN: The Ugly Canadian

Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 01:34:52 EDT
From: Burroak15@aol.com
Sender: owner-wisc-eco@igc.apc.org
Subject: "The Ugly Canadian"

[Edited slightly]

. . . please check out the information we ran across recently on line
courtesy of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Canadian mining companies have recently generated a ton of self-inflicted bad
publicity, due in part to a recent series of mine waste dump failures around
the globe.  The "Ugly American" is the phrase often used to describe the
United States' heavy-handed involvement in scandalous activities around the
world.  In a series of documentaries by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
earlier this year, the CBC turned that phrase inward and took aim at the "Ugly
Canadian" in the form of Canadian mining companies and the recent mining
disasters caused by them.  You can access the text, view many photos, and see
the documentaries aired earlier this year on CBC television by going online to
their website:
<A HREF="http://tv.cbc.ca/national/pgminfo/ppartner/index.html">The National
Online - Poisoned Partnership</A>
or if this link doesn't work for you, go to:
www.tv.cbc.ca/national/pgminfo/ppartner/index.html

The documentaries are organized under the headline, "Poisoned Partnership."
The first one deals with Canadian miner, Cameco which operates the Kumtor gold
mine in Kyrgyzstan.  In May this year, a tanker truck carrying cyanide
overturned and spilled into the Barskoon River.  The Barskoon flows on to Lake
Issyk-kul, called Kyrgyzstan's treasure because of its popularity and
importance as a tourism resource.  Local authorities have blamed the cyanide
spill for the deaths of four residents of the village downstream from the
spill.  Cameco disputes that the spill is responsible for these deaths.  Yet,
in the short time that Kumtor has operated, since 1995, twenty-seven people
have died at this mine.

The second documentary is "The Ugly Canadian."  This film is available
online, again with accompanying text and photographs at:
<A HREF="http://tv.cbc.ca/national/pgminfo/ugly/montana.html">The National
Online - The Ugly Canadian</A>  or use the address above and pick up the link
at the end of Poisoned Partnership.  "The Ugly Canadian" highlights the three
most recent mine waste dump failures by Canadian miners; Boliden at the Los
Frailes zinc mine in Spain, Phelps Dodge at its Marcopper mine in the
Philippines, and Cambior at its Omai mine in Guyana.  The film and text also
includes a section on Canadian mining companies developing projects in the US,
specifically in Montana by Canadian miners Placer Dome, and Pegasus (which
went belly-up in January this year).  Both of these companies have caused
environmental problems, but Pegasus' Zortman-Landusky mine in particular has
both terrorized and energized Montanans to fight for state and federal mining
law reforms.

There is a bunch of great links at the CBC websites to mining companies,
federal and provincial regulators, scientists and universities and
environmental and conservation groups.  The links alone are a wonderful
resource.  But the text and accompanying documentaries are outstanding and
deserve your attention.

3. WISCONSIN: Dober splash

From: Burroak15@aol.com
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 1998 23:06:26 EST

Letter to
Mike Monte, Editor
Pioneer Express

Dear Editor,
Oct. 27, 1998

I'm writing to share some important information about the Dober mine, a closed
iron-ore mine at Iron River, Michigan that has caused significant damage to
the  Iron and Brule Rivers. Michigan DNR reports that between 1973 and 1989, 7
miles of the Iron River downstream from the mine was basically dead. The
fishery in that stretch of the river was non-existent due to acid drainage
from the Dober mine.

The Iron River flows into the Brule River which forms the border
between Michigan and Wisconsin, above Florence, WI. Michigan DNR reported
that 10.5 miles of the Brule downstream from the Iron, was impacted by the
same acid drainage problem at Dober. Michigan began treating the acid mine
drainage in 1987 and the Brule River recovered by 1990, but the Iron River did
not come back until 1994.

There are important similarities between the Dober mine and the proposed
Crandon mine at Nashville. Despite being an iron ore mine, the Dober mine’s
acid drainage problem is caused by groundwater contacting pyrite in the
abandoned underground workings. After making contact with pyrite, the
contaminated groundwater is coming up in the former pit mine. The Iron and
Brule Rivers were harmed by both the acidity and the suspended minerals and
solids that make up acid mine drainage. The suspended minerals, called
"yellowboy," coated the bottom of the river, destroying the habitat and
food supply for the fishery. Before Michigan began treating the water, the
acidity measured pH 2.0 or about the acidity of lemon juice or vinegar.
Today, the groundwater issuing from the Dober mine is still acidic, pH 4,
and can only be discharged into the Iron River after being diluted with
fresh water.

Whether the ore is iron, zinc, copper, gold or lead makes little difference
when it comes to making acid drainage. The common element is pyrite or sulfide
compounds and air and water. The proposed Crandon mine will have all of these
elements, but in much greater amounts. More importantly, Nicolet Minerals is
proposing to put as much of the pyrite as possible back into the mine where it
will eventually contact groundwater sometime after closure. The Dober mine
closed in 1968 and by 1973 the acid drainage problem had developed to the
point that the Iron River was being harmed. For unknown reasons, Michigan did
not begin water treatment at the site until 1987 and even then it took 7 more
years for the Iron River to recover.

Wisconsin and federal experts know that groundwater moves through and across a
portion of the Crandon orebody in Nashville. After the pumps are turned off
post-mining, the mine will fill up with groundwater and carry any contaminants
and acidity with it out of the mine. Where exactly the groundwater will go
is not yet known, although Hoffman Springs, Swamp Creek, Little Sand Lake,
and
various wetlands are all possibilities. Nicolet Minerals, and Crandon Mining
before it, have never performed adequate testing, such as an aquifer
pumping test, to figure out where the water draining into the mine will
come from, let alone where it will flush out to after mining. Instead they
have relied on unfinished and unverified computer modeling to make
predictions. The same uncertainty applies to grouting over the orebody and
grouting’s ability to limit groundwater movement. Without adequate testing,
any claim that the inflow into the mine itself will not harm the streams
and wetlands remains highly questionable.  That lack of additional study
and verification should concern Forest and Langlade County residents very
much.

Nicolet Minerals has 1200 feet of groundwater in all directions around both
the mine and the surface waste dump within which pollution is allowed. The legal
enforcement boundary is 1200 feet away from each waste dump, (a closed mine
filled with high-pyrite waste tailings can only be called a waste dump.)  Even
Nicolet would have to agree that it simply cannot control where contaminated
water flows to after mining ceases.

But perhaps Nicolet isn't too worried about that. In the Capital Times
newspaper on October 24, Kevin Kessler of DNR's Bureau of Watershed
Management acknowledged that the 1200 foot compliance boundary was "a
concession to Exxon." We have long argued that exact point and now the
truth comes out from DNR itself. That admission angers me for many reasons,
but primarily because the same DNR has long argued that the groundwater law
is protective of your drinking water. DNR will continue to argue that
recent changes  in the groundwater rule make the miners live with the same
law as other industries. Nonsense. The groundwater rule was changed to
allow even more contamination by removing the DNR's ability to consider the
baseline quality of the existing water. In Forest County, this means that
the cleaner your groundwater is, the more contamination that is legally
allowed. And given the uncertainty over where the groundwater will surface
post-mining at Nashville, the additional pollution allowed under the law
endangers surface waters such as Swamp Creek even more.

This week, the state of Michigan will go to court to reach a settlement with
the former operators of the Dober mine to collect nearly $900,000 in damages and
cleanup costs. One limited study commissioned by the state of Michigan pegged
the financial damages from just the loss of the fishery at more than $2
million, a figure that the authors of the study admit underestimates the total
damages. With the settlement this week, it will have taken Michigan nearly 30
years, since the mine closed, to get the company to take responsibility.
Michigan placed the Dober mine on its version of "Superfund" in 1981 and
only now is settling with the company. Our DNR knew about Dober at some
point along the way but why Wisconsin didn't join in the effort to get
damages, given that the Brule was also harmed by the mine, is a mystery to
me.  Whether they were even monitoring this situation is unknown.

To this day, the Dober mine continues to leak acid drainage and a Michigan DNR
official told me that they cannot predict how long the mine will continue to
cause  acid drainage. The contamination will continue for 5 years or 500 years;
Michigan simply cannot determine how long it will take for the problem to
stop. What guarantees can Nicolet offer that the dumping of its wastes back
underground won't simply shift the problems into the future like the Dober
mine?

Sincerely,
Dave Blouin, coordinator, Mining Impact Coalition of Wisconsin

4. WISCONSIN: The Ugly Canadian-Part 2

From: Burroak15@aol.com
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 1998 22:22:21 EST

Here's some news that hasn't been reported on, at least here in Madison.  The
Department of Justice sent out this news release on Tuesday, October 27, 1998.
note-Noranda is Canada's largest mining company and owns the US registered
divisions named in the complaint.

STATE FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST NORANDA MINERALS
For Immediate Release, October 27, 1998
For more Information Contact:  Jim Haney 608-266-1221

MADISON - Attorney General James Doyle announced today that his office has
filed a civil lawsuit against a Delaware mining development corporation
seeking the recovery of hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by the state.

Doyle said the lawsuit against Noranda Minerals Wisconsin Corp., and Noranda
Exploration, Inc. both of Wilmington, Delaware, seeks recovery of more than
$300,000 in costs that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
incurred in the early 1990s (sic).

According to the Department of Justice's civil complaint, Noranda pursued a
mining proposal for a site in the Town of Lynne in Oneida County from 1990 until
late 1993. The proposal allegedly resulted in the DNR incurring substantial
costs to evaluate Norada's potential eligibility for a mining permit for the
site.

The complaint alleges that in October, 1993, Noranda suspended its Oneida
County mining project and in 1996, permanently withdrew from its mining
proposal. The DNR's bill for $303,458.72 in costs has not been paid by
Noranda.

The lawsuit, filed today (Tuesday, October 27, 1998) in Dane County Circuit
Court at the request of the DNR, seeks full payment of the costs with
interest from September, 1996.

5. GERMANY: Uranium Miners - Lung Cancer Assessment

Topic 330            Uranium Miners - Lung Cancer Assess
p.diehl            Nuclear & Weapons Facilities Opposition12:48 AM  Oct 30, 1992
(at 3landbox.comlink.apc.org)                             (From News system)

======================================================================
     New model allows for assessment of occupationally caused
            lung cancer incidence with uranium miners
======================================================================
  According to this model already doses received as low as 30 WLM may
  in some circumstances be regarded as cause of lung cancer incidence
======================================================================

 Prof.Wolfgang Jacobi, director of the Institut fuer Strahlenschutz of
the GSF - Forschungszentrum fuer Umwelt und Gesundheit GmbH (Institute
for Radiation Protection of the GSF - Research Center for Environment
and Health Ltd.) in Neuherberg, Germany, has analysed radiation
exposure data of East Germany's uranium mining company Wismut, to
find criteria for the recognition of lung cancers as occupationally
caused or not. He developed a model that relates a lung cancer
incidence to the work at Wismut for much lower doses than previously
thought.

 Since there is no personal data available on radon decay product
exposure for the Wismut workers, general guidelines have to be found
for the recognition of lung cancers as occupation related.
During Wismut's early years 1946-1955, average annual exposure to
radon daughters for miners is estimated at around 100-250 WLM
(Working Level Month). This average exposure corresponds to radon
concentrations in air of around 100 000 Bq/m3, while maximum radon
concentrations reached 2 million Bq/m3. Between 1956 and 1970, radon
daughter exposure strongly decreased, and since 1970 average annual
exposure is around 4 WLM.
 Based on epidemiological data from uranium miner studies published
in literature, Jacobi developed a ZSE (time since exposure)-model to
determine the lung cancer rate depending on exposure, age at exposure
and age at lung cancer incidence. Due to insufficient data, the model
makes no difference between smokers and non-smokers.

The results of the model are discussed for the following cases:
1)  For miners who worked at least one year between 1946 and 1955
  (and thus at least received around 200 WLM), the probability of
  causation for a lung cancer as occupation related is greater than
  50 %, independent of the age at lung cancer incidence.
2)  For miners who worked during five years between 1956 and 1960
  and thus accumulated around 190 WLM, the probability of causation
  for a lung cancer as occupation related is greater than 50 %,
  independent of the age at exposure and at lung cancer incidence.
3)  For those who worked during five years between 1961 and 1965 and
  thus accumulated around 90 WLM, the probability of causation for a
  lung cancer as occupation related is greater than 50 % only, if
  lung cancer incidence was around 7-20 years after exposure.
4)  For those who worked during five years between 1966 and 1970 and
  thus accumulated around 30 WLM, the probability of causation for a
  lung cancer as occupation related is greater than 50 % only, if
  the age at exposure was 20-40 and if lung cancer incidence was
  around 10-20 years after exposure.
5)  For those who worked since 1970 and thus accumulated around
  4 WLM per year, the probability of causation for a lung cancer as
  occupation related is dependant on period of exposure, age at
  exposure and age at lung cancer incidence. For example:
   After ten years of exposure and accumulation of 40 WLM, the
  probability of causation is only greater than 50 %, if the age at
  exposure was 20 and the age at lung cancer incidence was 33-43, or
  if the age at exposure was 30 and the age at lung cancer incidence
  was 44-51.
   After 30 years of exposure and accumulation of 120 WLM, the
  probability of causation is greater than 50 %, if the age at
  exposure was 20 and the age at lung cancer incidence was 33-70, or
  if the age at exposure was 30 and the age at lung cancer incidence
  was 44-76.

 With this model, the employers' liability insurance association, who
has to pay for the compensation of occupationally caused diseases,
has got a first guideline for the assessment of lung cancers with
Wismut miners, but it is not yet clear, whether it really will be
applied.

 It is worth noting that according to this model, already an exposure
of 30 WLM may be regarded as a cause of a lung cancer incidence,
depending on age at exposure and age at cancer incidence.
According to recognition practice under the era of the former German
Democratic Republic, at least 150 WLM of exposure were necessary for
recognition (and during the early years, the limit even was at
450 WLM). With this limit, no worker had a chance for recognition,
if he had worked for example only after 1970. With the new model, all
cases of lung cancer, that were not recognized, have to be reassessed.

 It's also interesting to compare the results of this model to the
regulations met in the US Radiation Exposure Compensation Act of 1990.
According to this act, only those miners who worked between 1947
and 1971 and received at least 200 WLM (non-smokers), 300 WLM
(smokers with incidence before age 45), 500 WLM (other smokers) and
developed lung cancer or a nonmalignant respiratory disease, shall
receive compensation.
