REGIONAL The state’s Court of Appeals has remanded PolyMet Mining’s air permit back to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for further proceedings. That decision, issued Monday, was just the latest setback for the company, which hopes to eventually open its NorthMet copper-nickel mine near Hoyt Lakes. Four of PolyMet’s major permits have been reversed, remanded, or suspended over the past two and a half years.
The decision comes five months after the state’s Supreme Court handed PolyMet and the MPCA a partial victory in the same case, when it determined that the state regulatory agency had no obligation to investigate whether PolyMet was engaging in so-called “sham permitting,” by seeking an air permit for a substantially smaller facility than the company intended to build.
