Nadeau Pit Strip Mining

Aerial View with Overlay of Progressive Cell Unit Mining Plan

November 1997 - Nadeau Pit, Covert Township, MI

Count the cells with raw exposed sand. Do you come up with more than three? If you do, then this mine is probably in violation of Michigan's sand dune mining regulations. Only 3 cells can be active at one time.
