BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) A Montana judge says environmentalists can move forward with a lawsuit that challenges the state s leasing of 587 million tons of coal to a St. Louis company.
District Judge Joe Hegel in a ruling released Monday rejected an attempt by the state and Arch Coal, Inc. to dismiss the case.
Arch bought the lease on the undeveloped Otter Creek coal reserves near Ashland last March for $86 million and future royalties. Four environmental groups later sued, claiming the sale should have been reviewed under the Montana Environmental Policy Act.
