Washington state judge rejects appeal against clean air permit for Nippon Paper's $71M biomass project [From the web]

PORT ANGELES, WA, June 13, 2012 (Peninsula Daily News ) - Seven environmental groups who oppose a $71 million biomass expansion project under construction at Nippon Paper Industries Inc.'s Ediz Hook plant are pondering their next move after an appeal was rejected in Thurston County Superior Court.

Judge James Dixon on Friday rejected an appeal of the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency's permit for the plant, which is slated for completion in April 2013.

He granted a motion for summary judgment that stops the appeal in its tracks, prevents the issue from proceeding to trial in Dixon's court and sets up a possible future appeal to the state Court of Appeals.
