Not a fait accompli but really good news none the less. It's becoming more untenable by the day for these guys to get this thing going. Let's hope it never happens...

Good!!! I see the nay sayers have nothing to say on this so far? Hopefully they stick to their guns in this.
I would suggest that everyone who sent in a letter against Pebble mine should now follow it up with a thank you letter to the Army Corps of Engineers for doing the right thing.

Someone with influence ( money ) with the Administration does not want this anymore than we do. Besides it kind looks good like all that pasty makeup you see on the folks doing the RNC.
Probably best to leave the political out. National politics have become a ridiculous pantomime act on both side of the aisle and its best ignored because it makes you less intelligent. Focus on issues regardless of which corrupt arrogant senile doofus in a given job and do your best to influence where you can.Quote:

Pebble will never go away because they will just kick the can and test the waters with every new administration that comes in. Pebble probably saw this as their best chance. Luckily, Don Jr, Tucker Carlson, and Johnny Morris love to fish and told Trump this was a bad idea.
Don't let up though. From the article:
“Therefore, the Corps finds that the project, as currently proposed, cannot be permitted under section 404 of the Clean Water Act,”
In a statement Monday, Pebble CEO Tom Collier confirmed his firm had received the letter but said it does not mean the project has suffered a setback. “The letter does not ask for a delay or pause in the permitting process,” he said. “This is the next step in what has been a comprehensive, exhaustive 2˝-year review of the project. Nothing in the letter is a surprise to us or them.”
Collier added the company’s plan for offsetting its impact “will be submitted within weeks and will satisfy all of the requirements of the letter.”
Pebble is all in on this project. They have shown time and time again they don't give a crap about Alaskans, tribes, or the environment.

It’s a small bit of bright news for sure! I definitely agree with comments about the need to follow through though, big projects like this never go down easily. Thanks for sharing that
