Challenging Smoky Canyon Mine Expansion Permit
Earthjustice challenged the expansion of the Smoky Canyon phosphate mine into the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, citing risks of selenium pollution and the destruction of over 1,100 acres of pristine roadless forests. Despite concerns from Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management scientists, the expansion was authorized in 2008, and a 2010 Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling ultimately upheld the decision.
