... "The easement and deed will not allow, now or ever, mining activity on the proposed site. We ask the Township to act quickly so that the applicant can limit their time and investment in this proposal and so the citizens of Cambridge Township can move on without this threat to shared water resources and potential impacts to the use and enjoyment of their own property."
By Mike Trudeau, President Citizens Protect Irish Hills

by Diana Kern, Legacy Land Conservancy Executive Director
