EPA Expresses Environmental Concerns Over Weed Management and Mining Projects

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) supports integrated weed management to control noxious weeds, but has raised concerns about inadequate protection measures that could harm surface and groundwater, as well as public health. The EPA is reviewing two projects, the Basin Creek Municipal Watershed Fuels Reduction Project in Montana and the North Fork Burnt River Mining Project in Oregon, to ensure they minimize environmental impacts.
