Any mining or industrial development is prohibited in perpetuity. It could be changed by a future owner, but it would require legal challenge. We also refused to let NS Power take the new 20 meter broadcast swath they announced they are taking. And we have also been put on the no herbicide list (you have to request this apparently).
