Cargill…said it would appeal the ruling…"When we built the facility, the permits were issued by the state," [said] a Cargill spokeswoman, Lori Johnson…"Since that time the federal prosecutor has said we should have done another kind of environmental assessment, and that is the issue before the courts."
