Short for the film Tresspassing, highly recommended Nuclear Information and Resource Service website link

The 1872 Mining Law is the cause of much of our nation's environmental devastation, allowing hardrock mining companies the legal right to extract gold, silver, uranium and other minerals from National Parks and other public lands; although without paying any royalties or guaranteeing reclamation of their mines. Generally the hardrock mining companies, rather than reclaiming their devastation, declare bankruptcy, leaving their responsibilities to the public and the US EPA Superfund (which I must add is also just as bankrupt). Support Earthworks and the Westerners for Responsible Mining actions to reform this antiquated legislation for our future generation to enjoy a safe environment.- Defenders of the Black Hills
