    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.
