Preliminary EIS shows Pebble mine can co-exist with Bristol Bay fisheries

Canada’s Northern Dynasty on Wednesday reported that a preliminary version of the final environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Pebble project, in Alaska, has indicated that the project could co-exist with the fisheries and water resources of Bristol Bay.

The TSX- and NYSE American-listed company said the US Army Corps of Engineers had distributed the preliminary version of the final EIS to federal, state and local cooperating agencies.

The draft document is currently under review by regulatory agencies, including the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Alaska tribes.
