The Berkley pit is often brung up during any discussion on mining. That particular mine was permitted in 1955, long before the CWA and other regulations existed. Why not talk about the Stillwater Mine, which mines sulfide based ores and is located on the Stillwater and Boulder rivers? Both rivers have excellent trout fishing and are tributaries of the Yellowstone river. Neither is polluted and the mine is a good steward.Though you can get back dove season back at any time if folks want it, one vote and you're back hunting...not quite the same with the Berkeley pit.
