Minnesota State Supreme Court Halts PolyMet's Permit to Mine

The Minnesota State Supreme Court has hit the pause button on Polymet's permit to mine in Minnesota and the permit has been sent back to regulators for further review.
According to StarTribune.com, this is a setback for what would be Minnesota's first copper mine, "a $1 billion open-pit mine project now stalled with several permits stayed or under review."
While the news is a setback for mine developers, it is considered a big victory for environmental groups, one of which was quoted at Startribune.com:
"Today, the Supreme Court hit the reset button on PolyMet," the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy said in a statement. "Now it's up to Governor Walz and his agencies to make better decisions and protect Minnesotans and the water they depend on."
