Is this the first time someone stuck a drill in the ground in NE MN? This is just another example of delaying to appease the strident enviro-zealots. We know we can mine and keep our waters safe. We’ve done that for over 100 years. Get out of the way!

I think you all would have a different view on this if this were your land that someone was going to come in and drill on. Some of these drill sites are large operations and I believe may require cutting roads into the sites where exploration is planned. I can see why landowners would not be happy. That being said if these people are not affected landowners or residents of the area the suit should be thrown out.
