Nexgen Silica, LLC appealed the Missouri Mining Commission's denial of its surface mining permit application. Operation Sand, LLC cross-appealed, seeking additional grounds for denying Nexgen's permit and requesting attorney's fees. The appellate court affirmed the Mining Commission's decision to deny Nexgen's permit, finding the application incomplete and that the Commission lacked authority to allow post-issuance amendments during an appeal. The court dismissed Operation Sand's cross-appeal, holding it was not an aggrieved party as it had already received the requested relief, and denied its motion for attorney's fees.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) appealed a declaratory judgment that invalidated its acquisition of properties for the Eleven Point State Park. The circuit court found DNR's action unlawful because a portion of the land was encumbered by a federal scenic easement prohibiting public access, which the court believed conflicted with the state park's purpose. The appellate court reversed, holding that DNR has broad statutory authority to acquire land for park purposes, and an easement restricting public access does not prevent such acquisition, especially since DNR regulations allow for restricted access areas within state parks.
