[continued...]and Page 13: Final EIS: No measurable impact on fish or fisheries•Based on the Pebble Project design submitted for permitting, and considering all relevant environmental safeguards and mitigations, the USACE found that “ impacts to Bristol Bay salmon are not expected to be measurable.
•The Final EIS concludes:
•within the Bristol Bay region as a whole (40,000 sq. miles)“The mine site area is not connected to the To g i a k, Ugashik, Naknek, and Egeg ikwatersheds and is not expected to affect fish populations or harvests from these watersheds.”
•Within the large regional watersheds that will host project facilities (~23,000 sq. miles)“(The project) would not have measurable effects on the number of adult salmon returning to the Kvichakand Nushagakriver systems.”
