An Article Worth Reading

The latest issue of Flyfisher Magazine has an excellent article on the Pebble Mine Project entitled, "The Pending Pebble Mine Disaster", written by Jon Lyman. With stunning photography and sharp writing, it comes highly recommended from puckfebble.

Here's an excerpt from the article discussing the environmental abuse Northern Dynasty Minerals has already visited on Alaskan waterways:

The headwaters of Upper Talarik Creek and the Koktuli River are fed by the winder snows and groundwarter running off the rolling alpine tundra. It is a high, empty prospect wandered by thousands of caribou and hundreds of bears and is home to nesting waterfowl and raptors. For the past several years the area has been seasonal hom to drill drews and exploratory rigs belonging to Northern Dynasty Mines, Inc. Although the mining company pledges to follow the highest standards, its drill mud and oiled sites already discolor what has always been a pristine wilderness.

Evidently, Northern Dynasty has a history of breaking pledges.
