Nordic Aquafarms Inc., reached a milestone Thursday in its nearly three-year-long endeavor to build a $500 million indoor salmon farm in Belfast. The Maine Board of Environmental Protection unanimously voted to approve its necessary permits for natural resource protection, site location, wastewater and air emissions. The Belfast Planning Board and the Army Corps of Engineers could rule relatively soon on whether to issue city and federal permits. But a wild card before Nordic can begin construction on the project is the land-use court case pending in Waldo County Superior Court.
