In court this morning, an attorney for a Native American tribe and environmental groups accused the state Pollution Control Agency of destroying computer records on a permit for the Polymet copper-nickel mine, reports the Star Tribune. An attorney for the M-P-C-A responded the agency was not required to put a “litigation hold” on those computer records. It’s the opening salvo in what could be a ten-day court hearing in Saint Paul on allegations that the M-P-C-A tried to suppress federal regulators’ concerned about the proposed mine in Hoyt Lakes.
