lvgaldieri<p><strong>Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum Wants Just 90 Days to Hand the Boundary Waters over to a Foreign Mining Company</strong></p><p>This morning, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum again joined Twin Metals to urge the DC District Court of Appeals to put the Boundary Waters litigation on hold. </p><p>The Burgum Reply explains that a review of the Twin Metals matter is already underway at Interior; and it assures the court that this review will be an exercise in a foregone conclusion: “there is a meaningful likelihood that the contours of the issues presented in this case will change as a result of the agency’s review.” </p><p>The filing also reveals that Interior has placed the previous Solicitor’s legal opinion under “Suspension Review,” which means that “Interior may not ‘rely on those M-opinions as authoritative and binding without first consulting with the Office of the Solicitor for guidance.'” </p><p>That office is currently headed by Acting Solicitor Gregory Zerzan, who in the past has held a number of government positions and served as Principal Deputy Solicitor under Daniel Jorjani in Trump’s first term. Jorjani, of course, wrote the M-Opinion that determined Chilean mining giant Antofagasta plc had a “non-discretionary” right to renewal of its leases near the Boundary Waters.&nbsp; (I’ve written about that opinion, its genesis, its selective use of history, and its contorted logic at length on this blog and elsewhere. This <a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/?s=jorjani+m-opinion" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">link</a> should bring up some of those posts.). </p><p>Neither Burgum nor the attorneys for Antofagasta seem especially confident that the Chilean mining company can win on the merits, and they are asking for a 90-day reprieve to render this case moot. </p> <a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/250307BurgumReplyrd.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">250307BurgumReplyrd</a><a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/250307BurgumReplyrd.pdf" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download</a> <p><a href="https://lvgaldieri.com/?post_type=post&amp;p=10275" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Subscribe</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/administrative-state/" target="_blank">#administrativeState</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/boundary-waters/" target="_blank">#BoundaryWaters</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/corruption/" target="_blank">#corruption</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/daniel-jorjani/" target="_blank">#DanielJorjani</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/mining/" target="_blank">#mining</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lvgaldieri.com/tag/water/" target="_blank">#Water</a></p>
