One miner has been found dead and another remained missing early Wednesday following a roof collapse Monday at a Cargill-operated salt mine in Louisiana, renewing concerns in New York about safety at Cargill’s huge salt mine beneath Cayuga Lake. “We wish Cargill success in rescuing their two missing miners,” Stephanie Redmond, program manager for Cayuga Lake Environmental Action Now (CLEAN) said in a statement today. “We also wish that New York State would once and for all end salt mining under Cayuga Lake. It is too risky for Cargill miners and for the long-term health of Cayuga Lake.”
