The Supreme Court has made several recent decisions that impact forest land in Oregon (and other western states).
Our first decision was NOT to hear an appeal of the Ninth Circuit Court which ruled that small mines must also meet EPA guidelines. Thus the lower decision stands. Here is a link to that story from Mineweb http://www.mineweb.com/mineweb/content/en/mineweb-political-economy?oid=182609&sn=Detail
The other decision was heard at the Supreme Court which overturned the Ninth Circuit Court on the regulation of logging roads. The Court decided that logging roads are to be regulated like farming roads rather than industrial roads.
