Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman has spoken to the Army Corps of Engineers and disputes that.

"This has not been impacted by the pumping stations or the work that the Army Corps of Engineers has done," Watson Coleman said."The houses were built before there was a requirement that they could only be 150 feet close to a creek. They were within 25 feet."

But Watson Coleman calls this serious, saying she'll get urgent help and talk to the governor to see if the state can fund a new project to fix the problem. "The Army Corps of Engineers would come in and assess it, and then there would be a determination as to what it costs and should it be done," Watson Coleman said."We can get the funds, but this is an engineering ongoing situation that was created and caused, allegedly, by the Army Corps of Engineers," he said.Middlesex's mayor wants a retaining wall along the homes.

The congresswoman, meanwhile, says money for the original wall can't be used for a new project. She wants homeowners to call her district for any new funding.

While the mining industry has plenty of reserves to tap, it faces a worrying shortage of young workers needed to get materials out of the ground. In regions like Canada and the US, enrollment or graduation from university courses related to mining engineering slipped in recent years. The dilemma adds to the challenges miners face as they scramble to boost output of everything from copper and nickel to cobalt and lithium, just as many nations view supplies as a matter of national security and users rush to secure metal.
