Coal mining continues in Alberta
Exploration may continue
The application to mine Grassy Mountain was denied in 2o21. Now, the same company (under a new name) is looking to conduct exploratory drilling and requests a water diversion.
Water is under threat
Open-pit mining will contaminate the water for people and wildlife, suck vital water from farmers and ranchers, and destroy mountain landscapes for recreation, fishing and hunting.
