M-X Environmental Technical Report. Environmental Characteristics of Alternative Designated Deployment Areas, Mining and Geology.

Abstract

Geology, has varied affects on the M-X project. There are affects that the project would have on the geology or geologic processes of the siting area and there are locations in which the geology affects the placement of the project. The project impacts of the geology of the siting area by the alteration of elements of topography, and disruption of the surface. Potential changes in access to mineralized areas are also a concern. Alterations of the topography and disruption of the surface result in an increased erosion potential in the siting region, especially during the construction phase. Changes in access to mineralized areas may either enhance or impede the exploration and utilization of economic minerals. (Author)
