From the most recent (August) Corporate Presentation, page 12:

Final EIS: Findings On subsistence fish & wildlife resources:?“Overall, impacts to fish and wildlife would not be expected to impact harvest levels. Resources would continue to be available because no population level decrease in resources would be anticipated

”On the Bristol Bay commercial fishery:?“No measurable change in the number of returning salmon and the historical relationship between ex-vessel values and wholesale values...or processor operations.” ?“... would not be expected to have a measurable effect on fish numbers and result in long-term changes to the health of the commercial fisheries in Bristol Bay.

”On water quality: ?“...direct and indirect impacts of treated contact waters to off-site surface water are not expected to occur.”?“...no effects on any community groundwater or surface water supplies”

On local communities:?“The increase in job opportunities, year-round or seasonal employment, steady income, and lower cost of living ...would have beneficial impacts.”?“The project could reduce or eliminate the current local population decline because of the increase in employment opportunities and indirect effects on education”12August 2020
