JUDGE CANCELS ORDER ALLOWING BAYER TO PROCEED WITH PHOSPHORUS MINE IN IDAHO
Jun. 6, 2023
Agri-Pulse reports:
The Bureau of Land Management's decision approving an open-pit phosphate mine in Idaho has been vacated by a federal court.
BLM did not adequately examine the impacts of P4 Production's Caldwell Canyon Mine Project on greater sage-grouse, U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill found, in a case brought by the Center for Biological Diversity and other groups.
P4 is owned by Bayer, which plans to use the mine to produce phosphorus for use in glyphosate. The judge had previously found BLM's decision violated both the National Environmental Policy Act and Federal Land Policy Management Act.
Bayer said it disagreed with the decision and is assessing its next steps, "which could include pursuing an appeal." In the meantime, "there is no impact to current supplies of our products."
