Environmental groups are suing the Trump administration over a Bull Mountains coal mine expansion they say is draining water from central Montana ranchland under the guise of a nonexistent “energy emergency.”
The Montana Environmental Information Center, Center for Biological Diversity and WildEarth Guardians filed the case Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Billings, asking a judge to throw out federal approval of the Amendment 3 expansion of the Bull Mountains Mine, operated by Signal Peak Energy near Roundup.
