Sheep Creek

June 15, 2023 by Guest Post

by Robert Gary, Corvallis

Why is your article on Sheep Creek mine site not on the front page and instead buried on page 17? This mine will destroy our beautiful valley. The company that wants to do it is a shell US company that is Canadian owned. The damage of this open pit mine will change this valley forever.

    I had the great privilege to float the West Fork for my 60th birthday. The most amaizing fishing trip ever! I can’t even begin to think how you would put a monitary value on a treasure like that.
    Guarrenteed when the developers come to pitch this project it is going to make everybody rich and when they are done, noone will ever know they were there. Both are lies.
    All the money and resources will leave the valley and the only thing left will be ANOTHER superfund site and a buch of dead fish that are poisonous to the wildlife.
