Pebble Partnership CEO Tom Collier said today he welcomes any pending White House review of the Pebble Project and the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) released by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) last month, saying he’s confident the regulatory and scientific record demonstrates the project can be developed without harm to Bristol Bay fisheries.

Pebble Partnership CEO Tom Collier today announced that the company has created the Pebble Performance Dividend (PPD) to distribute a percentage of the revenue generated from the operation of a mine at Pebble to year-round residents of Bristol Bay.
