After a year of extensive analysis, the Maine Land Use Planning Commission is scheduled to make a final decision on the Wolfden Pickett Mountain Mining project on Wednesday morning. Canadian junior mining company Wolfden filed its rezoning application with the LUPC last January. It was their second attempt at getting 374 acres at Pickett Mountain in northern Penobscot County rezoned to allow for a proposed underground metallic mineral mine. Following December deliberations, the LUPC staff, in a 100-page draft final decision, recommended that the commissioners deny the Wolfden application.
