The Environmental Protection Agency is taking public comments on its draft Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment through July 23rd and now’s your chance to voice your thoughts about the proposed and horrendous Pebble Mine, which would effectively put a massive open pit mine in the middle of the world’s most fertile salmon drainages, which flow into Alaska’s Bristol Bay.
If you want to see what a train wreck this thing would be, check out this video: Pebble Mine
To make matters worse, a foreign company planning to do the mining and raping of our resources and then will leave a massive toxic reservoir of mining waste behind for us to deal with for generations. NOT GOOD!

Thanks for the heads up on pebble mine disaster.
thanks for the form letter or the direct link , so us
guys not so good on writing letters can still have a voice.
Thanks, Russ
Thank you for this avenue to voice our disapproval. I encourage every one of your readers to use the 2 minutes necessary to attach their names to this document. For those who have been fortunate enough to have fished Bristol Bay, it is forever a part of us. It deserves to be protected for our future generations.
It seems so short sighted to risk killing the golden goose that continually provides an incredible bounty in the form of prolific and pristine salmon runs. The mining companies will claim that they can extract the resources in a clean and effecient manner, but history has proven time and again that the enviroment takes a backseat to man’s greed, and often times irrepairable damage is all that is left in the wake.
Well said Noel,Mike & Bill!
Hey Mike you finaly checked out this website. It’s right up your alley. This disaster can’t be allowed to happen. Everyone knows it but there is a whole lot of money at stake. That will be hard to get around. Man kind has a hard time doing even what they know is right when there’s that much money involved.
How many times do we have to make the same mistakes when it comes to protecting the our wildlife? The Pebble Mine proposal located at Bristol Bay, Alaska is stupidity at its finest. It would be interesting to to read the proposed Reclamination Plan and what agency will be the enforcement agency, penalties for non-compliance, and last but not least what are the unanticipated consequences if this project is approved. Stop this project now!
This pebble mine is an insanely destructive move against the natural resources in the area, and as destructive as a nuclear reactor meltdown! This has got to be stopped as it will destroy the fisheries and poison the whole ecosytem with long term multilayer effects.
ACT NOW TO STOP THIS from happening!
