Final Pebble EIS expected next week

The final environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Pebble copper/gold project, in Alaska, will be published in the federal register next week, Pebble Partnership CEO Tom Collier said on Wednesday.

The US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) previously targeted July 15 to publish the final EIS, and Collier said that a new date of July 24 did not mean a major delay.
