Kitty litter mine advances
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2001 A controversial kitty litter mine has received a permit from the state of Nevada. Opponents vow to keep fighting the proposal. Among those who object are the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony and the Hungry Valley Indian Colony. Along with environmentalists, the tribes say the mine will poison the environment. Chicago-based Oil-Dri plans on mining nearly seven million tons of clay and using it to make kitty litter 24-hours a day. Get the Story:
