The EPA has called the mine “potentially catastrophic.”

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released a scientific report in 2014 determining that the mine—which could be as large as two miles wide and 2,000 feet deep—would pose a catastrophic risk to the environment, potentially destroying up to 94 miles of streams, nearly 5,000 acres of wetlands, and 450 acres of ponds and lakes. According to the report, which was backed by twice peer-reviewed, scientific data, Pebble Mine would also need to store up to 10 billion tons of mining waste—forever!—in a wet and seismically active region. Just one earthquake (not an if, but a when) could compromise the waste’s holding structures and contaminate the area’s waterways, fast.
