Florence Copper is a step closer to starting full operations just outside of Florence.
The company reports that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has publicly issued a draft Underground Injection Control permit for its project. This is the final permit required to advance the project to commercial operations, according to a press release.
The EPA has stated that the public comment period for the draft federal permit will last 45 days, ending on Thursday, Sept. 29, with a virtual public hearing to be held on Thursday Sept. 15.
