The Bureau of Land Management on Monday gave approval to a controversial clay mine and kitty litter plant in Nevada.

But there is still is an open question on whether local opposition can stop the project. The BLM said Oil-Dri Corp. must comply with a special use permit which can only be issued by a county commission.

The plant would be located on land next to the Reno Indian Sparks Colony. Tribal members and local residents believe the 24-hour, 7-day-a-week operation will cause pollution.
