Cathy McGrath Special to the Arizona Daily Star Apr 9, 2023
A recent op-ed in the Arizona Daily Star highlights the damage that Hudbay would do to all of us in southern Arizona. Cathy McGrath, the author of the op-ed who lives near state land that Hudbay would like to buy for a dump site, expresses her serious concerns.
For instance: Hudbay projects that Copper World will use 13,154 acre-feet of water each year over the 44-year life of the project. This is the amount used annually by 103,000 people or more than 41,000 homes.
