Idaho's Nez Perce tribe's lawsuit to stop pollution in Payette National Forest can proceed against the Canadian mining company Midas Gold.
A Canadian gold-mining company allowed by the Trump administration to write its own assessment of the environmental impact of its proposed project on federal lands has lost a round in court against the Nez Perce tribe in Idaho.
“As the tribe has repeatedly stated, Midas Gold’s failure to address unlawful pollution discharges” in Payette National Forest in central Idaho is “harming the tribe and the people of Idaho,” Tribal Chairman Shannon Wheeler said in a statement. Pollution occurring “regularly or continuously for at least the last five years,” is “ongoing now, and will continue into the future, unless the Court grants relief as requested,” the lawsuit states.
“It’s particularly inappropriate for a mining company to be analyzing their own project,” said Connie Gestring of Earthworks.
