The bonding bill will help fund nearly $9 million. Without a permanent fix or continued pumping, water would begin to slowly spill over the top of the pit by late 2023 or 2024.
Sen. Sandra Pappas, a St. Paul DFLer who chairs the Senate’s Capital Investment Committee, last week said she worked with "members that are willing to be partners and that are voting for the bill.”
Both the temporary and permanent fixes could see changes to prevent the spread of the invasive species.
Water levels in the Canisteo Mine Pit have been going up since the 1980s. They could soon rise over the lowest wall of the pit.
Appreciate the beauty of our lakes, no matter what the season!
