(Reuters) – The U.S. Forest Service plans to re-publish an environmental report before July that will set in motion a land swap needed for Rio Tinto’s Resolution Copper project in Arizona.
Joan Pepin, an attorney for the Forest Service, told an en banc hearing of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday that “the prediction for that is to be ready this spring.”
