Mining Toxics Intiative: Research, Coordinators, & Resolution

A Mining Toxics Initiative, funded by the CA Endowment, has hired 3 regional coordinators. The plan is to conduct a Sierra-wide assessment of the human and environmental health impacts of gold mining's toxic legacy – such as mercury, arsenic and asbestos – and to design a plan of action for addressing this 150 year old problem. Read the resolution written at the August Tribal Convergence on Mercury in our Water, our Fish and our Peoples.
