Biden EPA To Kill Alaskan Mine Despite Army Corps Giving Its Approval
pebble mine areaThe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended prohibiting the operators of Southwestern Alaska’s Pebble Mine from disposing of waste material in the nearby Bristol Bay, a regulation that would prevent the mine from opening.
