THANK YOU SUPPORTERS!

The Icicle Valley Protection Alliance (IVPA) is pleased and gratified that DUSEL-Cascades has been eliminated from further consideration by the National Science Foundation. (Homestake Mine in South Dakota and Henderson Mine in Colorado were selected)

We appreciate the NSF’s willingness to listen to the concerns of the people and we believe that they made the right decision for science and for the nation.

The IVPA wishes to thank its many supporters for their countless hours and efforts in opposing DUSEL-Cascades.

We would also like to thank the Leavenworth mayor and city council for their decisive action.

The IVPA will continue to monitor proposals for the Icicle Valley to ensure that this unique area and critical watershed is preserved and protected for future generations.
