Despite legal deficiencies with the State’s certification of a reissued National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the Red Dog Mine, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the green-light to reissue a permit that does not comply with the Clean Water Act and threatens Alaska’s water resources, placing the health and jobs of village residents in jeopardy.
