Revised northern Minnesota mine plan would destroy more wetlands than previously proposed

A revised mine plan is under consideration. The open-pit hardrock mine in question lacks necessary permits, with three key ones still pending.

The mine is seeking a new permit from the Army Corps of Engineers, specifically for wetland destruction. This revised plan would result in more wetlands being destroyed compared to the previous proposal.

Further details about the mine plan and the permitting process are available from the source. The mine's location is near Babbitt.
