Contentious #Copper-#Nickel #Mine Gets Permit Approval from MN Appeals Court
by @UnicornRiot
Saint Paul, MN — On Monday, December 18, the #Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld a key air permit issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for a proposed copper-nickel mine formerly known as PolyMet. The company — NewRange Copper Nickel — views the decision as a victory as it attempts to build the first mine for copper, nickel and other precious metals in Minnesota. Environmental groups and the #FondDuLacBand of Lake Superior #Chippewa Indians filed a lawsuit to overturn the permit, saying that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) failed to consider if the company would expand its operations and thus produce more emissions."
