There is no mining project anywhere in the world that has generated the consensus of Pebble’s condemnation. At regional, state, national, and international levels, the opposition is unprecedented, and there is nothing in an Army Corps permit (one of over 60,000 issued by the agency each year) that will allay the underlying concerns. Thus far in excess of three million public comments have been submitted in opposition to Pebble, including 1.1 million just last Fall, and the numbers are certain to grow.

Extensive scientific peer review of EPA’s comprehensive Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment has confirmed the finding that the watershed and its resources would be irreparably harmed?even if (hypothetically) the mine were to operate flawlessly. It confirmed, too, that if there is a breach?from many foreseeable causes, releasing contaminants through a range of exposure pathways in this seismically active and hydrologically complex region?the consequences could be “catastrophic.” While First Quantum may dismiss this multi-year scientific process, the people of Bristol Bay will not.
