BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Supreme Court has sided with state regulators in a challenge to an air quality permit for a proposed oil refinery near Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the western part of the state.

In a unanimous opinion, the high court upheld a lower court ruling that affirmed permitting decisions by the Department of Environmental Quality. The department issued an air quality permit to build the facility in June 2018.
