Molycorp plan to dump tailings faces new public comment push
Taos County residents may get another chance to comment on Molycorp's proposed dumping of 200 million tons of tailings near Guadalupe Mountain west of Questa. BLM director Cy Jamison ordered a pause on approvals and a supplement to the environmental impact statement for broader public input. The move comes after criticism that the original EIS lacked alternatives and raised questions about Mining Law 1872 applicability.
