The Kennecott Copper Corporation has developed plans for construction of an open pit copper and
gold mine immediately adjacent to the Flambeau River near Ladysmith, Wisconsin. The Great Lakes
Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC) is concerned about the possibility for water quality
degradation should mine construction and mining operations occur. GLIFWC contracted with the Center
for Lake Superior Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Superior to conduct a
baseline survey of water quality in the Flambeau River in advance of any construction or mining
activities.
