Doug Burgum Now Has 90 Days to Hand Over the Boundary Waters to a Foreign Mining Company

For background, see this post.

This per curiam order dropped yesterday. The case before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals is held in abeyance until mid-October. The Court deferred to the Agency.

Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum now has 90 days to act on the findings of an “agency review” of the Twin Metals matter.

According to Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, the review was already “complete” by June 13th, which just happened to be one day after the Senate struck Stauber’s Boundary Waters giveaway from the budget bill (see the 13 June update to this post).

No surprise, Interior already determined (only a fool would think it had not decided well in advance of the review) that the 20-year Rainy River watershed mineral withdrawal put in place by the Biden administration was unnecessary.

Here is the order.
