Dunleavy appeals Pebble permit denial January 14th |
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy is appealing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decision to deny a permit for the proposed Pebble mine, back in November.
The state s Department of Law will file an administrative appeal with the federal government, according to a media release.
In that release, Dunleavy calls the denial a dangerous precedent that would harm Alaska s future. His Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Corri Feige echoed that sentiment in the release, saying that it has ominous implications for our rights as a state to develop our resources for the benefit of all Alaskans.
We have a lot to look forward to in 2021. Although 2020 was a very challenging year, it was not all bad news. Alaskans achieved an incredible victory with respect to the proposed Pebble mine. In November, the Alaska District of the Army Corps of Engineers rejected a key federal permit for the project.
The Corps denied the permit because it concluded that Pebble would cause significant degradation to the waters and fisheries of Bristol Bay and issuing a permit to Pebble was not in the public s interest. This was a huge victory. Alaskans should celebrate it.
Despite this positive development, the fight against this ill-conceived and irresponsible development project is not over. The Pebble Limited Partnership, or PLP, has vowed to appeal the Corps decision. It is therefore incumbent on Alaskans not to soon forget the lessons we learned in 2020 about Pebble and PLP.
