I'm assuming they will have to file an environmental impact statement before expanding their operations? Hopefully the DNR will make sure the wetlands are protected

At this point I have heard nothing to indicate that the Vermillion town supervisors think that a mining operation is in any way not compatible with a sensitive wetland habitat even if it is a waystation for rare migrants or endangered and threatened breeding birds and turtles. Good birds: I have a report of a Ross's Goose flying over Cedar Avenue near Farmington High School. I don't know if the observer was able to report this bird on eBird.
