It's no longer trying to stop the construction because the work is too far along. Now it's focusing on the land's mineral rights.

The government claims the groups behind the wind farm didn't get the right approval and leases from the Secretary of the Interior.

The lawsuit also claims the group used minerals it dug up to build the turbines' foundations.
