The Forest Service notified BlueTriton Brands in a letter last month, saying its application for a new permit has been denied.

The Forest Service announced the decision one month after a local environmental group, Save Our Forest Assn., filed a lawsuit that alleged agency was illegally allowing the company to continue operating under a permit that had expired.
