The online Zonie Report says that the Tohono O’odham Nation is suing a subsidiary of Freeport McMoRan. The tribe claims that the Cyprus Tohono Corporation released hazardous substances such as sulfuric acid, damaging the area’s natural resources.
The mining activities allegedly occurred 32 miles southwest of Casa Grande on land the tribe leased to Cyprus Tohono.
The tribe says the US Environmental Protection Agency is investigating.
