Court Rules DNR in Violation of Own Rules in Water Permit Issuance

Posted: 2/28/2013

Yesterday, a Court determined that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) violated its own rules by denying Alaskans’ their right to keep water in streams to protect wild salmon runs. The case challenged DNR’s issuance of a water permit to a coal mining company for the Chuitna Coal Project without first considering a citizen application to keep water in Middle Creek to protect salmon and salmon habitat.

Our Passion

Alaska's Natural Environment

Alaska’s natural environment is our passion. The protection and sustainability of Alaska’s wild places is our main priority. We work with the groups of individuals with ties closest to the lands: the indigenous Alaskan peoples who have subsisted off the natural resources for countless generations and the grassroots organizations who work tirelessly to maintain Alaska’s environment and along with that, its natural splendor and beauty. We work together for a brighter and more sustainable future for the generations to come.
