Mine pit waters still rising on western Range

This is a great update and background piece on the rising waters of the Canisteo Mine Pit near the Iron Range town of Bovey. These waters have been rising since they stopped mining there in 1985 causing an increasingly unsafe and obviously wetter situation there. This story comes from Margaret A. Happoja and the Northern Community Internet project, a new media endeavor for which I have consulted and written. Officials are still wrangling over the details of how to mitigate the flood risk and release some of the water.
