Reading
A company wants to build a big lithium mine. A landowner and the company had some problems. They have now agreed on a solution after some legal fights.
The company, Lithium Americas, will buy water rights. They will buy them from a rancher named Edward Bartell. Bartell was worried the mine would hurt his ranch.
The court said the state did not check everything. It had to look at the water use again for the ranch. The company kept using water, and the state told them to stop.
Bartell and Lithium Americas made an agreement in July. They did not say much about what it was. The agreement lets the company build the mine and helps the rancher.
The courts will dismiss the appeals from Bartell and Lithium Americas. The company can now keep building the mine. The company says the agreement does not change its plans or money.
