Yt, DW ----- Original Message ----- From: Dusan Soudek To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 7:38 PM Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Fundy gypsum There are some very natural-looking abandoned older gypsum mines along the Hants Shore. One of them, near Cheverie (?) is a community park and a popular swimming hole. I think that it is a wonderful recreational asset for the community, but it doesn't generate any jobs. A problem with potential rehabilitation of the Windsor mine site is that we don't really know whether it will remain closed. Probably even its owner, Fundy Gypsum, doesn't know for sure. As minerals go, gypsum is probably environmentally the most benign one there is. It even neutralizes the acid rain that is ruining our Atlantic salmon, speckled trout, and other fish populations. Dusan Soudek P.S. Do check the Milford and Windsor gypsum mines on Google Earth. The sites are huge! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this message.
