| General | Anna B. Wilson and Mary Ellen Benson, USGS Central Mineral Resources and Environmental Science Center, briefly passed this site with Sharon Masek, Superior Silica Sands' Manager of Mine Planning and Industrial Relations on July 13, 2015. We did not actually visit as it was said to be much like the adjacent LP and CRM mines. |
