"BOISE, Idaho — Two federal agencies have approved a 2.4-mile-long open pit phosphate mine proposed by a Canadian company in southeastern Idaho.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service late last week issued separate decisions approving the plan by Calgary-based Agrium Inc.
The BLM manages the area where the mining will occur, while the Forest Service manages land that will receive waste materials."
