Re The MillThere is a thing called a "conditional consent decree" that could be issued by the NDEP. It has been done many times for eventual compliance with any new requirments specified by the EPA. Check out all the coal burning power plants now on line, especially the new ones. Are all the other operational gold mills operating under the new EPA regs? NO! We need some common sense thinking here. It appears Jerrit is being scapegoated.
