Despite opposition from local Indigenous communities, commercial fishermen, and hundreds of thousands of NRDC members, Northern Dynasty, the company behind the Pebble Mine – the destructive gold-and-copper mega-mine slated for the headwaters of Alaska's pristine Bristol Bay watershed – continues its desperate push to get the mine approved. Recently, they released a self-serving economic assessment promising billions in revenue for southwest Alaska.
But an independent assessment has shown this is far from reality, concluding that the destructive Bristol Bay mining project risks losing "many hundreds of millions to multiple billions of dollars."
The EPA is considering whether to permanently kill the Pebble Mine and save Bristol Bay, its wildlife, and the way of life for surrounding Indigenous communities.
Send a message to EPA Administrator Michael Regan now in opposition to this disastrous mega-mine.
