Morenci Mine Permit Remains in Effect
On April 30, 2025 the EPA denied a petition dated December 6, 2024 from the Center for Biological Diversity asking the agency to object to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality's Title V operating permit for the Morenci Mine (Freeport-McMoRan) in Greenlee County, Arizona. That denial means the mine may continue operating under its current air pollution permit with no new delays or added costs from this EPA action.
