Try to imagine that in the scope of <br />the pebble mine tailing pond, which I'm pretty sure is orders of<br />magnitude larger than this one that failed catastrophically! Couldn't happen, you say?

I hope I never read an article similar to the one linked below about a breach in a tailings dam in Bristol Bay.<br /><br />http://www.waterwealthproject.com/mount_polley<br /><br />Mining industry self regulation will never be sufficient and the State of Alaska's legislators and mining lobbyists are equally not interested in protecting Bristol Bay, otherwise they would be putting in place those protections needed to exclude miining in salmon senstive areas of Bristol Bay. Instead, the likes of Parnell, Young and Murkowski spend a lot of energy fighting the EPA's investigation of the area. <br /><br />I listened to Murkowski's political blah on her trip to Dillingham in June, and I find it unbelievable how she stated she wanted to stand with the people of the watershed, but continues to not put any effort in protecting the headwaters of Bristol Bay.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-39060699282514381302014-08-07T08:17:22.797-08:002014-08-07T08:17:22.797-08:00What perfect timing for Gov.

Its just a matter of time before proposed mines in BC that flow into southeast alaska start to affect us. <br /><br />KSM mine just east of misty fjords is open for a thirty day comment period. send a prepared letter to provincial government that we do not want mine tailings in alaskan waters. www.seacc.org/ksm <br /><br />eric grundberg<br />fv happy time<br />petersburg, akAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
