Examples of large mining and other development projects that received major federal permits within about three years: Pogo Mine: In August 2000, Teck-Pogo Inc. applied for a Section 404 permit for a proposed underground cut-and-fill gold mine on State of Alaska-owned land in the Goodpaster River Valley. EPA, in close consultation with the USACE, published a Draft EIS in March 2003, then a Final EIS in Sept. 2003 – three years and a month after the application. Kensington Mine: In 2001, Coeur Mining redefined the scope for its development of an underground gold mine within the Tongass National Forest outside of Juneau. This necessitated a new NEPA review, which was completed three years later in December 2004.Red Dog Mine: EPA prepared the EIS for the expansion of the Red Dog Mine into the Aqqaluk deposit in northwest Alaska. The permitting process started in mid-2007 and the EIS was finished during Fall 2009, taking just over two years. USACE was a cooperating agency.Point Thomson: The USACE was the lead agency for the EIS for the development of ExxonMobil’s Point Thomson oil facility on the North Slope of Alaska. The EIS process began in late 2009 and the Final EIS was issued mid-2012, taking approximately two and a half years.ConocoPhillips GMT-1 Project: In 2013, ConocoPhillips moved forward with permitting of its proposed Greater Moose’s Tooth-1 oil and gas project in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. BLM was the lead agency, and the USACE was a cooperating agency. The EIS process began in August 2013 and concluded by November 2014, taking just over a year.ConocoPhillips GMT-2 Project: ConocoPhillips began permitting the Greater Mooses-2 project in 2016. Like GMT-1, the GMT-2 project is located in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, and the EIS was overseen by BLM with the USACE as a cooperating agency. The EIS process began during July 2016 and concluded just over two years later in September 2018.Hilcorp Liberty Project: Hilcorp is the operator of the Liberty oil and gas leases in the federal OCS off the North Slope of Alaska. The leases are overseen by BOEM. Hilcorp began permitting the Liberty project in 2015. BOEM started the EIS process in September 2015 and completed it three years later in August 2018.

PROTECTING WATER3

Released water will not just betreated. It will be strategically adjusted

to optimal conditions for fish life.

A sophisticated management plan will discharge water into all three nearby

streams to benefit fish habitat.(2.31)

According to the Draft EIS

There will be no downstream impacts from the pit in post closure.
