    Dragon has apparently not published environmental permit applications of Fäboliden.

    There is community discussion paper about environmental impact
    on their pages.
    This is document by a law firm trying to say that there would not be
    substantial harm from 100 000 ton test mining.
    However the document also indicates that there would be substantial levels
    of heavy metals and arsene in waters from acid producing waste.
    The plan for water purification at the end of 2015 was to filter it to ground.

    This I would interpret as spoiling of land and ground water and even surface
    waters. At least ground water spoling is prohibited in European Union directives.
    I assume this must have been improved for any permi tapplication

    possibly they are not very proud of this plan because it is not easy
    to find from their web pages (in the site map)

    In  dragon's operations there is tendency to overlook
    environmental issues, which can be observed from
    the disqualified EIA of Kuusamo:
    http://hotcopper.com.au/threads/dragons-kuusamo-eia-failed-month-ago.2313570/

    which has lead to opposition of mining in Kuusamo:

    and major permit problems in Orivesi

    and Vammala enrichment plant
    http://hotcopper.com.au/threads/dragons-vammala-environment-permit-june-24th2014.2317729/

    What is common with these:
    The problems were not timely disclosed when the negative decission came,
    but possibly taken up with next quaterly report, which has
    given a possible benefit for traders reading Finnich news papers or following
    environmental authorities.
