ADVANCE FOR MONDAY FEB. 10, 2014-File - In this September 1996 file photo, the Flambeau open pit copper mine is shown in Ladysmith, Wis.

The Flambeau Mine, which operated from 1993-97, was filled in, replanted and turned into a park with hiking and horse trails but a lawsuit alleged that it was still leaking pollutants into a river in violation of clean water standards and the company was fined $275 in 2012.
