TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2003 The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to review whether the Environmental Protection Agency can impose tough environmental requirements for a mine being opposed by an Alaska Native village. The Red Dog mine is the world's largest zinc mine. It is owned by NANA Regional Corporation and operated by a third-party company. Kivalina Village, located next to the mine, says it is polluting the environment. The case being heard concerns $12 million anti-pollution equipment sought by the EPA. The state contends the EPA can't overrule its interpretation of federal environmental rules. Get the Story:
