Nolan's bill was introduced to override four separate&nbsp;<a href="https://www.minnpost.com/earth-journal/2017/04/three-new-cases-expand-challenges-land-exchange-polymet-project" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">legal actions by environmental groups&nbsp;</a>and affected citizens who are challenging the land exchange in court. </b>Political leaders have continually assured the public that we can rely on PolyMet's environmental review process and that PolyMet would only be permitted if it would not harm the water and environment. But as soon as legal challenges appeared to have merit, Nolan authored a bill to prevent those suits from going forward.The federal lands at risk are a combination of forested wetlands, public waters, and critical wildlife habitat. At least 1,000 acres of irreplaceable wetlands would be destroyed and up to 8,000 acres impaired by the mining. These wild and remote lands contain Aquatic Resources of National Importance (ARNI), an ecosystem that is designated as "imperiled-vulnerable" in Minnesota, and an area most of which is rated as of "high biodiversity significance" by the Minnesota Biological Survey. The mine would also destroy critical habitat for Canada lynx and gray wolf, creating toxic sulfide mine waste, enormous waste rock stockpiles, roads and other mining infrastructure. Most of the damage would be permanent. According to Marc Fink, senior attorney for the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Center for Biological Diversity</a>, “This bill is a blatant end run around current laws to hand Superior National Forest land over to a mining corporation. It should be stopped in its tracks.”</font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;" times="Times" new="New" roman="Roman" serif="serif" font-size="font-size" px="px" background-color="background-color" rgb="rgb"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">By moving to bypass the judicial process, Nolan is denying his own constituents, as well as the citizens of his state and nation, due process under the law. Impacted citizens and groups have the legal right to challenge federal agency decisions under numerous laws, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).</font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;" times="Times" new="New" roman="Roman" serif="serif" font-size="font-size" px="px" background-color="background-color" rgb="rgb"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">NEPA, signed into law in 1970, is referred to as the "environmental Magna Carta." NEPA requires governmental agencies to assess the environmental and related effects of proposed actions through the preparation of environmental impact statements. Enforcement of the NEPA process is by a citizen suit provision, meaning any citizen can bring a lawsuit against the responsible federal agency for violation of NEPA. Nolan's version of environmental review eliminates the right of citizens to question or challenge a federal regulatory decision.&nbsp;</font></p><h4 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.15em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The value of public land</font></h4><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

Yet public interests are forgotten in Nolan's legislative initiative, while foreign mining companies — Canadian PolyMet and Swiss multinational conglomerate Glencore — will reap the benefits, destroying our land for future use and poisoning our water. Kevin Lee, staff attorney at the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.mncenter.org/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy</a>&nbsp;(MCEA), stated, "Rep. Nolan's bill is a giveaway of public land, plain and simple.

Rather than saying 'no' as dictated by law, and protecting the irreplaceable natural resources of the Forest, the USFS agreed to trade public land to PolyMet for its mine.

Nolan undermines our democracy by placing corporate&nbsp;<em>special interests</em>&nbsp;ahead of the public interest by attempting to subvert current laws and legislate away due process and the constitutionally created right to have one’s day in court.

This is especially true when dealing with the large amounts of waste rock resulting when mining massive low-grade deposits — in PolyMet's case, less than 1 percent mineralization, meaning 99 percent waste rock. PolyMet's own environmental impact statement concedes that water from PolyMet's mine site would need to be treated for at least 200 years after closure, and the plant site for 500 years. PolyMet could have been stopped on this issue alone. The fact that the project is in the permitting stage is clear evidence of political and regulatory capture by mining interests.</font></p><h4 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.15em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Corporate vs. citizen power</font></h4><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;" times="Times" new="New" roman="Roman" serif="serif" font-size="font-size" px="px"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Nolan is willing to take away citizen rights while leaving behind a legacy of destruction of the land and pollution of the water for all future generations.
