Mosaic, Sierra Club in mediation

Plymouth, Minn.-The Mosaic Co. and the Sierra Club participated in court-mandated mediation session last week with respect to the Sierra Club’s lawsuit over Mosaic’s South Fort Meade phosphate mine expansion. Mosaic confirmed that a mediation session occurred Sept. 29; however, to date, there is nothing more to report. The U.S. District Court has issued an injunction against the expansion, and the mediation was ordered by the U.S. Court of Appeals. Still before the lower court is a Mosaic proposal to allow it to mine the area for four months on areas where wetlands have already been disturbed.
