A proposed gold and copper mine that nearly got buried by the Obama administration moved closer to reality when its developers filed new permits with the federal government.
The company behind Pebble Mine, in Alaska’s Bristol Bay, were poised Friday to file a wetlands-fill permit with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The permit application by the Pebble Limited Partnership, a subsidiary of Northern Dynasty Minerals, marks a milestone for the project that has seen renewed interest since President Trump appointed former Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to head the EPA.
“At the outset of 2017, we established three ambitious corporate objectives for Northern Dynasty and the Pebble Project,” Northern Dynasty President & CEO Ron Thiessen said in a statement. “We committed to reaching a resolution with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to restore the Pebble Project to normal course permitting, to re-partnering on the Pebble Project and to initiating permitting under [National Environmental Policy Act.] As we approach the end of the year, I’m proud to report that we will hit our mark on all three important milestones.”

Good work for the unskilled types who don’t have much else going for him. Track Palin comes to mind.
And the sound the machinery at the Pebble mine will make...
Bam...bam
Most appropriate. :-)
“Good work for the unskilled types...”
Excuse me??? You think that running heavy equipment in subzero temps is ‘unskilled’????
I got news for you, it requires a lot more actual skill to efficiently run a backhoe or a grader than you think.
It took me a long time just to learn how to safely drive these things around our shop yard let alone skillfully operate them! Sorry, but you are terribly misinformed if you think that mining is an unskilled profession.
Yaba Daba Screw!
moved closer to reality when its developers filed new permits with the federal government. ............................ Will they need to donate to the Clinton Foundation to get approval?
Wasn’t Mr Pebble (Dabs Greer) the guy who donated the Superman Silver Mine for kids?
“Sure. You bet your life.”
Thanks for the indulgence. This is good news.
Thanks for posting.

Bump!

True. I have seen that kind of thing even on FR where people have an irrational hatred of Sarah Palin.
They’re often the same people who think John McCain would have been a great President.
Alaska Ping.
Winning!
Thank You Megan dear.
You couldn’t be more right.
You are totally correct with that point WHBates.
Thankfully we have quick witted FReepers who don’t let that sort of Palin derangement sneak past.
Thanks KC, I should have pinged you.
You are welcome Jaz.
Thank you for posting.
What fantastic news.
THIS will make America Great Again.
I am so happy to read this. What a great Christmas gift.
Yep.

Making Alaska Great Again! Expect millions of dollars to pour into the anti Pebble coalition. At least now the permitting process can begin where the skinny socialist administration wouldn’t even allow that.
Bump!
