Yes. Actually the state does not have water quality data on 99.6% of the waterbodies in the state. They just assume it is of high quality. Furthermore, the state does not require background data when considering an application for a discharge permit, nor do they require that the receiving water be monitored (some per...

Alaska has a history of doing things differently than others. I'd like to see us do something different: ban deficit spending by the legislature. If this were done I'd have no problem supporting a state income tax.

Hi Rick, Thanks for that information. I use to dig at Copalis beach and Iron Springs as a youngster but that was 60- 70 years ago. Most of my digging later on was at Longbeach, WA or the beaches South of Westport. I've been in Alaska for just over 20 years and even the smaller clams have that black, mossback look on th...

I don't expect EPA to get everything right. But I do demand they protect America's lands in Washington's hand from mega corporations owned by greedy investors hiring idiots rushing for next big discovery on public lands and public gets nothing but tax bill to clean up private toxic dumps.

A lot of smoke has been put out regarding the use of private assets in government service - email, cell phones etc. Many of us did use private assets as the government ones were cumbersome, non functional, duplicative or often all three.

Long ago and far away when I read the need for the Pebble Mine site to be cared for "in perpetuity, I was incredulous that anyone could imagine pursuing this project. We only have to look around the state/nation/world to see how companies, and yes, even the government, clean-up or monitor what is left behind.

Why was EPA overseeing the Gold King mine in Colorado at all? Because the original developers were long gone, and left a toxic site. The same exact thing will happen with Pebble because North is right - no company is going to spend the money needed to treat wastes in "perpetuity." So, once again, a few corporations wil...

We do, however, expect responsible resource development on land that is ours and has impacts on other valued resources.

The tragedy of this biologist is that he failed to work within the rules the government set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations and the ethics for government employees. His passion to protect the environment exceeded the scope and ethics of his job. He should be held legally responsible for his actions.
