| Article: | Don’t let mines waste Alaska This quotes often from a story from the Anchorage Daily News’ Sunday, Feb. 17 edition page B-2, concerning Canadian mining company Teck Cominco, the Red Dog Mine operator and its “poisoning” of Lake Roosevelt. The lake is held back by the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River, Wash., from the smelter tailings [slag] that were dumped and have “leached” for almost a century into and through the Columbia River by Teck Cominco, to end up in Lake Roosevelt. |
