The additional ore sample is needed for the company to design the proposed mining project. Less than 10,000 tons of material will be removed from the five sampling sites, with each site averaging just over half an acre in size. According to Larry Lynch, DNR hydrogeologist, the agency will review the plan and provide comments to Gogebic Taconite within 14 days, notifying the company of the necessary approvals needed to proceed with the bulk sampling. After Gogebic Taconite submits the permit applications, DNR staff will review the take application and determine if only general permits are needed, in which case department staff will take action within 30 days, or whether individual permits are needed, in which case the agency has 60 days to take action. -- wispolitics/index.iml?Article=299581
