What this really means is that there are, as yet, no limits on how far the fingers of the mine could reach. In fact, there is no finalized plan. So despite the fact that there are contingencies in place to dispose of waste water and tailings (earthen dams at the site), there’s really no telling if these measures will be enough.
Considering the number of Superfund sites in the United States, history says they won’t.
