Ninth Circuit Ruling Statement
“Resolution Copper notes the 9th Circuit’s decision to uphold the lower court ruling denying the request for injunctive relief. Over the past 11 years, the U.S. Forest Service has shaped the Resolution Copper project through a rigorous, independent review under the National Environmental Policy Act, which has included extensive consultation with the numerous Native American Tribes that have ancestral ties to this land, local communities, civil society organizations and a dozen federal, state, and county agencies. There is significant local support for the project, however, we respect the views of groups who oppose it and will continue our efforts to understand, address and mitigate these concerns.”
