Dear Administrator McCarthy,
We, the undersigned hunting and angling organizations and businesses representing millions of sportsmen,
outdoor recreation groups and related businesses, thank you and the EPA for finalizing the Bristol Bay
Watershed Assessment. We are grateful for the opportunity to have participated in the public and transparent
process to move this science-based study through its earlier drafts. The final Watershed Assessment and the
science it is based on makes it abundantly clear that the proposed Pebble Mine is a risk that we simply cannot
afford. We request immediate action from the EPA to protect the fish and wildlife resources of Bristol Bay.
Our 1,102 sporting conservation groups, businesses and trade associations are grateful for your personal visit to
the Bristol Bay region in August 2013 and for your agency’s many visits leading up to and during the watershed
assessment process. EPA’s effort to meet with the region’s local residents is greatly appreciated; as the world’s
greatest wild sockeye salmon fishery is facing unprecedented threats from proposed development of a massive
mining district. We write today to ask you to use all the tools at your disposal to protect a sport fishing and
hunting destination that is unrivaled in America and perhaps the world, for this and future generations of
sportsmen and women.
The proposed Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay poses numerous significant and potentially long-lasting threats to one
of the world’s foremost sport fishing and hunting regions. Specifically, fish habitat (including spawning and
breeding grounds), wildlife habitat and recreational areas are all threatened by several hard rock mining
proposals - most notably, the Pebble Mine. The potential impact from this type of activity could be severe. It is
estimated that the Pebble Mine would produce between 2.5 and 10 billion tons of waste containing elements,
such as copper and other heavy metals, that would threaten several fishery areas including spawning and
breeding grounds for world-renowned populations of salmon.

EPA Letter from Sport Fishing and Hunting Interests on Bristol Bay Alaska (January 2014)
If this project moves forward, these toxins would have to be contained and potentially treated in perpetuity - in
an area of high seismic activity, which increases the risks tremendously. Because the Pebble property straddles
the Kvichak and Nushagak river drainages – two of the most productive salmon systems on the planet - any
release of this waste into the surface or groundwater has the potential to severely harm Bristol Bay’s salmon
and the livelihoods of the sport fishing and hunting business owners, all of whom depend on them for their
economic support.
Sport fishing in Bristol Bay generates $60 million annually; anglers looking for “once in a lifetime” experiences on
rivers such as the Nushagak, Mulchatna, Koktuli and Kvichak support more than 800 full- and part-time jobs.
Mining activity and increased development associated with mining will detrimentally impact these areas by
direct impacts to fish and habitat. Development will also negatively impact opportunities for sport fishing and
hunting operations in the area by diminishing the quality of the experience. Despite the remote nature of the
region and the costs associated with traveling to it, on a yearly basis up to 65,000 visitors come to Bristol Bay for
recreational opportunities to fish, hunt, and view wildlife.
Former Interior Secretary Salazar and the Obama administration recognized that oil and gas development in this
area is simply not worth the risk, and the same is true for mining operations in the headwaters of Bristol Bay.
The fish and wildlife values in the region, its size and setting, and the national significance of its resources are, in
the words of Secretary Salazar and President Obama, “a national treasure that we must protect." The risk to this
national treasure is too great and the resource too unique and irreplaceable to allow the Pebble Project to
continue forward.
While we thank you for completing an assessment of the Bristol Bay watershed to better understand how future
large-scale development projects may affect Bristol Bay, it’s not enough. The science is in, and it’s irrefutable.
Large-scale mining is simply incompatible with the renewable resource values found in Bristol Bay. The EPA has
the authority under the Clean Water Act to invoke Section 404(c), which would give Bristol Bay the protection it
needs from mining and other large-scale developments.
The undersigned organizations and businesses urge EPA to use its authority under Clean Water Act Section
404(c) to ensure that the waters and wetlands in the headwaters of the Bristol Bay watershed are not turned
into waste disposal sites for mining operations. The EPA has an opportunity now to guarantee a future for
Bristol Bay that will generate economic opportunities while also conserving sporting traditions for generations to
come.
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this process. We’ve been engaged in this effort for many years,
and will not rest until Bristol Bay is protected. To that end, we look forward to working with the EPA and all
federal agencies with an interest and role in the future of Bristol Bay’s tremendously productive lands and
waters.
Sincerely,
