Boise, Idaho — The Idaho Board of Environmental Quality agreed Nov. 3 to ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston’s request to submit a reply to briefs filed by Magnolia Nitrogen Idaho (Magnida) and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ). As a result, ConAgra will be allowed to appeal a Sept. 19 order granting summary judgment against ConAgra’s appeal of an air quality permit given to Magnida’s $2.3 billion nitrogen complex in American Falls, Idaho. ConAgra can present oral arguments at the board’s Nov. 20 meeting and thereby continue its efforts to block Magnida’s construction next to ConAgra’s potato processing plant. The board will decide Nov. 20 whether to confirm the Sept. 19 order denying ConAgra’s appeal of the air quality permit.
