Proponent may not want District Ct. to hear? Alaska does.Alaska is stuck with attempting to maintain sovereignty contrary to Clean Water Act federal law applicable to State land.
The proponent may not want the District Court to accept when the following will be revealed:
1. No demonstrated reserve economics per existing mine plan.
2. Sham permitting per Congress. AG requested to investigate.
3. Pebble tapes.
4. Shareholder duping and lawsuit settlement.
5. Bait and switch "small" versus "large" mine plan?
6. Inaccurate USACE 404 permit application submittal.
7. Incomplete and incorrect DEIS.
8. Statements over 10-years.
9. Public presentations.
10. 6 major miners walk. No interest.
All it will take is for EPA to present mineral development and mining experts to testify.
This will be interesting.
