Aquila Abandons Mining and Wetland Permits

[invidious1]

Aquila Resources, Inc., has announced that it won’t defend its previously issued mining and wetland permits for the Back Forty mine.
 
Instead, the company plans to develop a completely revised project plan, supplementing its proposed open pit with underground mining, and modifying its site design to avoid direct impacts on wetlands.
 
Aquila’s two permits had been challenged by mine opponents in contested case hearings before Administrative Law Judge Daniel Pulter, who struck down the company’s wetland permit last January. The mining permit, which has already been amended once, was scheduled for a contested hearing in the fall, but Aquila won’t pursue that permit now that its plans have changed.
