Pebble legal battle rages with EPA agreement elusive

A legal battle over the Pebble mine in Alaska is slated to continue after project developers and the Trump administration failed to reach an agreement over the 2023 federal veto that killed the project. Companies pushing to build the copper, gold and molybdenum mine in the Bristol Bay watershed revealed in documents submitted to a district court in Alaska that they have failed to reach an agreement with EPA on how to move the project forward. The Department of Justice said in court documents last week that EPA was 'open' to reconsidering the veto that essentially killed the project. EPA is talking to Pebble Partnership, a company wholly owned by Northern Dynasty Minerals, about a possible settlement, DOJ said. Advertisement 'Those discussions were productive but the parties did not reach a negotiated resolution,' Pebble lawyers wrote in a status update filed with the court Thursday. '[Pebble] believes it is now appropriate to proceed to summary judgment briefing regarding EPA's Final Determination.'
