A mining company has proposed a large scale mining exploration operation 3 miles inside of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. The mining operation would take place in the Big Creek watershed, which enters the Middle Fork Salmon at the beginning of Impassable Canyon. American Whitewater filed preliminary comments on the proposal this month, and will alert paddlers to additional comment opportunities later this spring.
