Permanent Protections Comment Letter

The threat of toxic large-scale hard rock mining will continue to loom over Bristol Bay until watershed-wide, permanent protections are secured for the entire Bristol Bay region.

While we've made great progress securing the EPA Clean Water Act protections to stop Pebble, Governor Dunleavey is legally challenging the EPA protections directly to the United States Supreme Court. This lawsuit and the over twenty active mining claims remaining in the Bristol Bay watershed, continue to threaten our pristine waters and wild salmon runs. Despite these challenges, years of scientific study and review, and a robust administrative record, all support our lawmakers protecting this national treasure.

Future generations should not have to fight international corporations and multiple government entities to continue our ways of life. 

It’s time for our lawmakers to take action to defend the Clean Water Act protections and stop all mines like Pebble throughout the Bristol Bay watershed. 

Make your voice heard and join us, ask our elected leaders to protect Bristol Bay permanently by signing the letter below. If the Take Action Letter does not load click here to be taken directly to the EveryAction website to sign the letter there!
