The Resolution Copper Mine Environmental impact Statement (EIS) documented the potential impacts from developing one of the world’s largest copper mines near the town of Superior, Arizona. The copper deposit is located in an area with many different values tied to the land, making it important to understand how the proposed project would impact various resource values. The area is important to Native American tribes, recreationists, residents of the town, and commercial and industrial interests. BBC led the evaluation of the baseline social and economic conditions in the project area as well as analysis of the social and economic impacts of the proposed project. As part of our work, we conducted stakeholder interviews with local interests, including emergency service providers, town managers, recreation leaders, and other interested parties. BBC also documented the potential impacts of the project on tourism and recreation values, amenity-based migration, and local property values.
