  • 2024-31215 — Notice of Termination of the Environmental Impact Statement for the Twin Metals Project in the Superior National Forest, Lake and St. Louis Counties, Minnesota
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 106561
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced the termination of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Twin Metals Project, which was to evaluate the impacts of mining operations in Minnesota's Superior National Forest. This decision follows the cancellation of mineral leases by the Department of the Interior due to improper renewal and a withdrawal order that prohibits new mineral leasing for 20 years on the affected lands. As a result, Twin Metals no longer has the necessary land use authorization to proceed with its proposed project.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Land Management has stopped looking into whether a mining project in a Minnesota forest is okay because the rules weren't followed, and they can't use the land for mining anymore. The project can't go on because the necessary permissions are no longer there.

    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    Low Head Hydro M 8, LLC has applied for a preliminary permit to study the feasibility of a new hydropower project at Mississippi Lock and Dam 8, located between Wisconsin and Minnesota. This project would include a powerhouse with ten turbines and is estimated to generate about 46,600 megawatt-hours of electricity annually. The permit, if issued, would give Low Head Hydro M 8 priority to apply for a license, although it doesn't authorize starting construction or entering lands without permission. Interested parties have 60 days from the notice issuance to file comments or compete with the application.

    Simple Explanation

    Low Head Hydro M 8 wants to see if they can create electricity using water at a place between Wisconsin and Minnesota. They have to wait and see if they can get a special paper that lets them go ahead, and people have 60 days to say if they think it's a good or bad idea.

    Simple Explanation

    FEMA has decided to help Minnesota more by giving extra support to two places called Dodge and Winona Counties because something bad happened there, but they don't say exactly what it was. They plan to give money to help the people and fix things, but they haven't said how much money or exactly how it will be shared.
