Alaska Supreme Court Dismisses Pebble Initiative
The Alaska Supreme Court has dismissed one of two “clean water” ballot initiatives aimed at blocking development of the Pebble copper and gold prospect in Southwest Alaska.
Justices on Monday agreed to dismiss a pending case disputing Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell’s finding last year that the “Clean Water 1” initiative was unconstitutional.
The initiative was one of two filed by Pebble opponents to limit water pollution discharges from large mines.
