In light of these realities, and in accordance with its Responsible Mineral Development Policy, Northern Dynasty set out in 2004 to assemble one of the most comprehensive environmental databases in the history of U.S. mineral development.
Along with the Pebble Partnership, the company has now invested six years and approximately US$150 million on multi-disciplinary environmental and socioeconomic studies. This work has been undertaken by some 500 scientists and technicians working for more than 50 independent consulting firms.
Comprehensive environmental baseline data is the cornerstone of project planning at Pebble. Not only will it guide the project study team in its efforts to design an environmentally sound and socially responsible project --it will also help satisfy federal and state permitting requirements, and provide a baseline for long-term monitoring.
Northern Dynasty believes the quality and scope of environmental work undertaken in support of the Pebble Project is a significant asset that will deliver time and cost savings during project permitting. As part of a commitment to shared information, the Pebble Partnership is providing environmental and socio-economic baseline data to state and federal agencies, project stakeholders, and the general public prior to project permitting. An Environmental Baseline Document (EBD) completed in January 2012 is now publicly available in advance of permit applications.
