The 12 water rights permits that were approved by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources this month are wide ranging in purpose. But essentially, bundled together, they’ll let Donlin pump up ground, river, and creek water.
“It will basically take a lot of this water out of Crooked Creek and it needs those state water rights permits to do so,” said Maile Tavepholjalern, a senior attorney with Earthjustice.
Earthjustice is the environmental law firm representing the six Y-K Delta tribes in their legal battles against the proposed mine. The tribes are the Orutsararmiut Native Council, the Chuloonawick Native Community, The Native Village of Eek, Tuluksak Native Council, Kwethluk IRA, and the Kasigluk Traditional Council.
