Livestock deaths may impact talks on Monsanto mine
The Bureau of Land Management’s draft environmental impact study on Monsanto’s proposed Blackfoot Bridge mine is open for public comment at a time when mining is back in the public eye because of a connection to more livestock deaths. Eighteen cattle were recently found dead in the region, likely of selenium poisoning. The Associated Press reported the cattle died around Aug. 5 near the defunct Lanes Creek Mine, formerly mined by Alumet Co., which is no longer in business after it went bankrupt in 2002.
