Governor’s Pebble appeal ignores the law, science and voices of Alaskans
While Alaskans are looking ahead to a bright future for Bristol Bay, Gov. Mike Dunleavy continues to look backwards and is seeking to keep the proposed Pebble Mine project alive through dubious legal tactics. The latest example of this is the state’s appeal of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ decision to deny a key Clean Water Act permit for the project. The appeal is wrong on the law. It is wrong on science. And it is wrong for Alaskans. Let us start with the legal arguments.
There’s no undoing the damage Pebble Mine will wreak
In late September, the lack of transparency at the heart of plans to develop one of the world’s largest and potentially most devastating open-pit mines was laid bare. For years, executives at Pebble Limited Partnership (Pebble) have insisted to regulators and the public that they are adhering to legal guardrails and a transparent review of their mining proposal.
The future of Bristol Bay should be decided by Bristol Bay
It was very disappointing to see former Alaska Native leader Willie Hensley from Northwest Alaska touting his support of the proposed Pebble Mine. The Pebble Limited Partnership used Mr. Hensley in their ads because they are hard pressed to find any leadership in Bristol Bay willing to endorse the Pebble Mine.
Sen. Murkowski is right: The Army Corps needs to bring science back to Pebble permitting
“If a mine cannot stand on its own without negative impact to the fisheries resource, then that mine should not be permitted.” – Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Sept. 18, 2019 That statement, delivered during Bristol Bay Native Corporation’s annual salmon celebration in Washington, D.C., quickly travelled from the U.S. Capitol all the way back to Bristol Bay, where many of our organizations have been working to expose the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers inadequate environmental review process for Pebble.
Proposed Bristol Bay protections have never been more important
The diverse coalition of Alaskans working to protect Bristol Bay would like to respond to the recent comments by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency stating major deficiencies in Pebble’s plan and the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), as well as last week’s news that the EPA will resume the withdrawal process for the 2014 proposed determination that would protect the headwaters of the Bristol Bay watershed.
The Pebble Mine review cannot be rushed. Here’s why.
The Alaska Senate majority recently conducted a poll to gauge Alaskans’ opinions on a wide-ranging set of issues. One question was whether Alaskans supported or opposed the proposed Pebble Mine. Though the question assumed that “all environmental safeguards are met” for the mine, 61 percent of the 7,407 Alaska respondents still opposed its development. This result should come as no surprise.
Bristol Bay is open for business
As Alaskans and leaders in Bristol Bay, we were heartened to hear our governor-elect emphasize Alaska is “open for business.” We understand that oil and gas development and mining are important industries in our state and, for the most part, should be given a green light. However, here in Bristol Bay, things are a bit different. Our industries are driven by fish – and we know from history and science that massive mines and salmon don’t mix well.

Bristol Bay leaders urge approval of salmon initiative

Addressing climate change in Alaska means taking action now
On the North Slope and Northwest Arctic, our people have thrived in Alaska's extreme environments for generations, developing technology, hunting whale and seal, and traveling over the snow and sea ice to trade, visit, sing, dance, and share our culture. The heart of Alaska's oil industry is located in our traditional homeland, as is the world's largest source of zinc: the Red Dog Mine.
