Reclamation work for Resolution Copper could remove a historic smelter stack
Many Superior residents want to preserve the smelter
It’s unclear who would pay for the additional cost to preserve the smelter
Resolution Copper Mining has spent about $30 million since 2005 cleaning up historical mine sites around Superior as it prepares to open a massive new mine. Now it faces a towering decision over a historic smelter stack.
The 300-foot smelter hanging over the town could be part of the reclamation project, but rather than demolish the structure, many residents would like to see it preserved.
