Final Environmental Impact Statement
The Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), published in July 2020, demonstrates that the Deposit, located on state land, can be responsibly developed meeting strict federal regulatory standards including those related to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The investment represents a significant economic benefit for all Alaskans and the state.
Milestones
In July of 2020, the USACE published a final Environmental Impact Statement for the project and a record of decision. These documents incorporated substantive public and agency comments and concluded the federal permitting review of our plan. Should Pebble secure federal approvals, the process of navigating the state permitting process will begin.
Permitting
Other federal permitting actions on the horizon include the U.S. Coast Guard permits for bridge construction, biological assessment consultations with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service, and the completion of the pipeline right-of-way from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement.
