Tamarack Mining Project
We invite you to comment on the Scoping Environmental Assessment Worksheet (SEAW) and Draft Scoping Decision Document (DSDD) for the proposed Tamarack Mining Project (Project) located near the city of Tamarack, Aitkin County, Minnesota. Public comments on the scope of Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) are a required part of the environmental review process for the proposed Project. The EIS is not a decision-making document and does not determine whether the Project moves forward. Rather, it is an information-gathering document used to inform decision-makers, including those considering land use applications and environmental permits required for the Project. Every comment submitted becomes a permanent part of the official public record, including commenters’ names and email or postal address, and may be reviewed by decision-makers, agencies, and the public.
Project Summary
Talon Nickel (USA) LLC has proposed to construct and operate an underground mine near Tamarack, Minnesota to extract ore containing nickel, copper, and other metals that would be shipped by rail to processing facilities located in Mercer County, North Dakota, and Marquette County, Michigan. The long-term surface facilities at the proposed Minnesota Project site would cover approximately 64 acres and include an ore-handling building with rail loadout, a wastewater treatment plant, stormwater ponds, ventilation points, a rail yard, an electrical substation, storage and staging areas, an outdoor stockpile of locally sourced aggregate for backfill, parking and a rail spur. Tailings would not be generated in Minnesota, and no tailings storage would occur in Minnesota.
