Nevada lithium mining company cited for endangering habitat of 6-inch desert flower
January 23, 2023
An Australian mining company has been cited for endangering a 6-inch desert wildflower less than a week after the Department of Energy signed off on a $700 million conditional loan for the company to mine lithium in Nevada.
ed comment: (WTF? AUS jobs BuiltBackBettah?)
Ioneer Rhyolite Ridge LLC was slapped with a trespass notice by the Bureau of Land Management for disturbing the critical habitat of Tiehm's buckwheat, a wildflower with yellow pom-pom blooms. The agency listed the flower last week as an endangered species and said the "disturbance" was forbidden under a permit it issued Ioneer Ridge LLC to drill at a proposed mine site that is likely to face massive pushback from environmental groups.

The flower is only found in the United States and grows in lithium-rich soil — the very same soil that attracted Ioneer to the area.
BLM approved the company's drilling plans last year but only on land outside of the 900-acre area pitched as critical habitat to protect the yellow flower. When the flower was put on the endangered species list, the company was faulted for using the area as a "laydown area" for equipment but added that most of it had been removed.
Ioneer said no plants had been harmed but admitted: "What occurred was a violation of BLM regulatory requirements."

No, he's thinner and a wee bit taller, dude has to be at least 6.5" (kek, fat midget) and instead of oxygen Damar chose Das Boot.
Das Boot- das boot.. what's with das boot? Dead Man Walking comms? Walking boot, walking the dogs? Anon is lost in the comms..
Will drink to dat!
>I had to wear one of those boots
I did and surprise surprise, get out of the boot and ~~walk~~ try to walk. Anon was ready to walk but the foot quit working, a six week break was too many weeks, lazy arse foot. Anon had to go buy a cheap cane to get around and learn to walk again, that was completely unexpected. Thankfully it wasn't anon's gas foot and the vehicular wasn't a stick. They sent anon to physical therapy and anon went. Once. The first exercise: Stairs. Excuse please, anon has too many stairs, not paying extra for more!
