北方王朝对环保局的Pebble地雷否决权提出挑战,称其为非法并基于投机。
Northern Dynasty challenges EPA’s Pebble Mine veto, calling it illegal and based on speculation.
北方王朝矿产公司及其附属公司于2025年10月3日在阿拉斯加联邦法院提出简易判决书状,质疑环保局否决Pebble矿属于非法,认为这违反了联邦法律,包括《阿拉斯加州立法》,并依赖投机性环境索赔而不是科学证据。
Northern Dynasty Minerals and its subsidiary filed a summary judgment brief in Alaska federal court on October 3, 2025, challenging the EPA’s veto of the Pebble Mine as illegal, arguing it violates federal law, including the Alaska Statehood Act, and relies on speculative environmental claims rather than scientific evidence.
该公司在阿拉斯加州和两家土著公司的支持下,声称环保局误用《清洁水法》,无视《最终环境影响声明》的调查结果。
The company, backed by the State of Alaska and two Native corporations, asserts the EPA misapplied the Clean Water Act and ignored the Final Environmental Impact Statement’s findings.
他们辩称,否决权造成了重大经济损害,反对因联邦停业而要求的暂停,敦促法院保持其时间表,政府应于2026年1月2日作出答复。
They contend the veto causes significant economic harm and oppose a requested stay due to the federal shutdown, urging the court to maintain its schedule with a government response due January 2, 2026.
