For more than a decade, the threat of a huge, open-pit copper and gold mine has loomed over the heart of pristine salmon spawning territory in Bristol Bay, Alaska. Following a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decision in 2020 to deny a key permit for the mine, the EPA released a preliminary legal determination in May 2022 that forbids mining waste disposal in the Bay’s watershed.
If finalized and successfully defended in court, the EPA decision should spell the end of the Pebble Mine proposal.
Pebble Mine would directly impact the world’s greatest sockeye salmon run. It would put in jeopardy thousands of American jobs, a cultural tradition of subsistence dating back 10,000 years, and a robust sport-fishing and tourism economy.
