Environmental Regulation for Mines in Southeast Alaska and Its Effects on Projects Design, Timeframes, and Uncertainty, a Preliminary Review.

PB93115202

Publication Date	1992
Personal Author	MacDonald, L. A.; Martin, W. E.
Page Count	54
Abstract	The environmental compliance process affects all aspects of hardrock-mining operations, from exploration through post-closure. The primary components of the environmental compliance process are requirements under the National Environmental Protection Act of 1969 (NEPA) and the permitting requirements associated with various other federal, state and local laws. The study considers the Greens Creek Mine and the development of two other projects (Alaska-Juneau and Kensington). These mines were used as the foundation for a case study of the impacts of the environmental compliance process on hard-rock mining activity in Southeast Alaska. The case study presents the institutional and legal requirements, followed by a discussion of the impact of the process on the production and timing of the three mines.
