The mining company, Deadwood Standard Project, is proposing to contaminate the beautiful Spearfish Canyon with cyanide and other chemical toxins that would seep forth into spearfish creek from leaky concrete vats at the site – 500 feet from the near-pristine water – for eight years.
Cyanide has contaminated underground and surface waterways for years from gold mining leaks in the Black Hills and this small operation is not worth polluting such a significant cultural and tourist site, such as Spearfish Canyon.
