矿业公司提出诉讼,要求撤销环保局的Pebble地雷否决权,理由是超量使用地雷和经济损害。 Mining companies sued to reverse the EPA’s Pebble Mine veto, citing overreach and economic harm.

北方王朝矿产公司和主要采矿集团已提出诉讼,要求推翻环保局否决阿拉斯加Pebble矿这一世界上最大的未开发铜矿储量之一的否决权,认为该机构在未进行适当的成本效益分析的情况下阻止该项目,从而超越了《清洁水法》赋予它的权力。 Northern Dynasty Minerals and major mining groups have sued to overturn the EPA’s veto of Alaska’s Pebble Mine, one of the world’s largest undeveloped copper deposits, arguing the agency overstepped its authority under the Clean Water Act by blocking the project without a proper cost-benefit analysis. 他们要求获得由奥巴马提出、由拜登维持的否决权,但在全球短缺的情况下,他们不考虑矿井在为可再生能源、国防和基础设施供应关键铜方面的经济和国家安全价值。 They claim the veto, initiated under Obama and maintained under Biden, fails to consider the mine’s economic and national security value in supplying critical copper for renewable energy, defense, and infrastructure amid global shortages. 这些团体警告环保局的广义解释会破坏监管的确定性,阻碍投资,并威胁美国制造业和能源转型努力,敦促法院要求各机构在阻止大型采矿项目之前权衡经济影响。 The groups warn the EPA’s broad interpretation undermines regulatory certainty, discourages investment, and threatens U.S. manufacturing and energy transition efforts, urging the court to require agencies to weigh economic impacts before blocking major mining projects.
