A huge win for the Fond du Lac Band and for the St. Louis River Watershed! This is the right call by the Army Corps - the PolyMet mine plan would cause major harm to downstream waters and jeopardize the Band's tribal rights.

NEW: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has revoked a previously suspended clean water permit for the NewRange copper nickel project (PolyMet). "The permit does not ensure compliance with water quality requirements of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa."

'Clean water is truly irreplaceable — the source of life itself. Benjamin Franklin’s quote from 1746 still rings true: ‘When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.’”' duluthnewstribune.com/opinio…
