The most recent challenge was lodged Monday, when two tribal governments appealed to the state Supreme Court to overturn a lower court decision upholding state-issued permits.
Workers drill into the hillside at the Donlin Gold deposit on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022 around 12 miles north of the Kuskokwim River community of Crooked Creek. The deposit is estimated to contain 33.8 million ounces of gold.
The appeal of the ruling on the DNR permits follows a separate challenge to an Aug. 18 action by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation that certified the mine project as meeting state water quality standards. The department’s action renewed what is known as a 401 certificate, named after a section of the federal Clean Water Act. This certificate is required before a project can discharge wastewater under the act.
Those potential impacts are the reason for the legal challenges, the plaintiffs said in a statement released by Earthjustice, the environmental law organization representing them.
