Michigan?has 認可するd a $50 million 巡査 地雷 that has 誘発するd 乱暴／暴力を加える の中で 居住（者）s 予定 to its の近くに proximity to Lake Superior.

Canada-based?Highland 巡査 is 始める，決める to break ground 100 feet from the lake and start 生産／産物 in 2026, which the company said could produce 65 million 続けざまに猛撃するs of the metal over the course of 11 years.

論争 over the 地雷 kicked into high gear last year when the company （疑いを）晴らすd a section of the 明言する／公表する park's one-billion-year-old forest, filled in the wetlands and 永久的に コースを変更するd the North Country 追跡する's streams.?

巡査 地雷s are labeled as the most 有毒な to human health because they can 解放（する） 化学製品s like 水銀柱，温度計, arsenic and lead that have been identified as the '最高の，を越す 10 化学製品s of major public health 関心' by the World Health Organization.

The copper mine will be located only 100 feet from Lake Superior, making it the closest metallic sulfide site and raising concerns that the mining waste will harm the environment

Copperwood Resources has already cleared a section of the one-billion-year-old forest, permanently re-routed streams and filled in the wetlands

Lake Superior sees 3.5 million visitors annually, meaning the lake's exposure to mining waste could not only pollute marine wildlife, but could also pose a harm to public health

巡査 is an 必須の 構成要素?used for heat, electricity, and renewable energy mediums like solar and 勝利，勝つd 力／強力にする.

The element is also used to create the 殴打／砲列s, wiring and 非難する 駅／配置するs for electric 乗り物s which are becoming 必須の as the US 押し進めるs for more EVs and 需要・要求するs for renewable energy grows.

The Copperwood 地雷 will be 位置を示すd in the 山のふもとの丘s of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness 明言する／公表する Park, which has bee n 階級d as the most beautiful 明言する／公表する park in the US.

It will also be 隣接する to the North Country 追跡する - the longest 引き上げ（る）ing 追跡する in the country - which is drawn out across a 4,800-mile expanse from North Dakota to Vermont.

Highland 巡査 確認するd the 事業／計画（する） will be an 地下組織の 地雷 that uses the room-and-中心存在 採掘 method to 過程 nearly 7,500 トンs of 巡査 per day.

This method 要求するs 労働者s to 抽出する 巡査 by digging out 洞穴-like sections while leaving 中心存在s of dirt to support the roof of the 地雷.?

Copperwood Resources started excavating the site last year, but first conducted exploratory drilling in 2018 when it received a $25,000 fine for?damaging the wetlands and discharging muddy water

Quentin L. Messer, Jr., 長，率いる of the Michigan 経済的な 開発 会社／団体, said: 'The 経済的な 衝撃 of this 事業／計画（する） ? with high 行う direct 職業s and countless community-supporting indirect 職業s ? cannot be overstated, as it translates to greater 経済的な 安定 and 繁栄 for families, small 商売／仕事s, and the 地元の community.?

'Copperwood 地雷 is another example of a company てこ入れ／借入資本ing Michigan 資産s to 確実にする our continued leadership in sustainability and mobility 革新.?

'We will continue working to 勝利，勝つ 事業／計画（する）s, 投資する in places and attract people as we encourage 商売／仕事s of all sizes to 'Make it in Michigan.'

However, hundreds of 地元のs have 展示（する）d an opposite opinion about the 事業／計画（する） 含むing petitioners and 環境保護主義者s who are fighting to stop the Copperwood 地雷, 説 it will 害（を与える） the area.

Wakefield 郡区 居住（者） and 嘆願（書） writer Tom Grotewohl told 地元の WNMU-FM?that the 地雷 would be a 脅し to the 環境, public recreation, and the 地元の economy.

Grotewohl also 公式文書，認めるd that most of what is 始める，決める to be 地雷d would not 現実に be 巡査.?

The Copper Mine will be open for 11 years and the company said it will process 7,500 tons of copper per day

'Because only 1.45 パーセント of what comes out of the ground is 巡査 and the remaining 98.55 パーセント is 有毒な waste, which 含む／封じ込めるs at least 15 選挙権を持つ／選挙人s of 環境の health 関心, 含むing 水銀柱，温度計, arsenic, cadmium, selenium, lead.'

John Coleman, with the 広大な／多数の／重要な Lakes Indian Fish and 野性生物 （売買）手数料，委託（する）／委員会／権限, said the （売買）手数料，委託（する）／委員会／権限 has raised 関心s about the 事業／計画（する） for more than a １０年間.

'We have 関心s about the tailings 水盤／入り江, the long 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 安定, and have asked [the Michigan Department of 環境, 広大な／多数の／重要な Lakes, and Energy] to 含む the 広大な／多数の／重要な Lakes Indian Fish and 野性生物 （売買）手数料，委託（する）／委員会／権限 in review of the final design,' he said.

Highland 巡査 has 以前 明言する／公表するd that the company is 用意が出来ている to 最小限に減らす and mitigate 汚染, and have 安全な・保証するd nearly all 要求するd 許すs from Michigan’s 環境の regulatory 機関.?

A Change.org 嘆願（書） that's been 調印するd by more than 19,700 people, argued that for every トン of 鉱石 抽出するd, 29 続けざまに猛撃するs will be 巡査 while the remaining 1,971 続けざまに猛撃するs will consist of waste.
