#Regram #RG nrdc_org: Pebble Mine threatens Alaska’s pristine Bristol Bay—home to the world’s greatest wild salmon fishery. If fully developed, the massive proposed gold and copper mine could produce up to 10 billion tons of toxic waste. Even worse: That waste would then be held behind earthen dams in a region prone to big earthquakes. A big enough quake could send toxic sludge into the interconnected rivers and streams—contaminating the region’s prolific salmon runs.
