Appellate Court Overturns South Fort Meade Permit Preliminary Injunction (MOS)

The Mosaic Company MOS announced that the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has vacated a preliminary injunction previously granted by the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida regarding Mosaic's South Fort Meade mine.  The preliminary injunction had prevented reliance on a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' permit for the mining of wetlands in an extension of Mosaic's South Fort Meade, Florida, phosphate rock mine in Hardee County.  The Eleventh Circuit also set aside the District Court's remand of the permit to the Corps of Engineers.
