Time to step up, Sen. Murkowski.

Monday, July 1 at midnight is the last chance to provide public comment on the Trump administration's U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ environmental impact statement on a proposed mine that could kill off the nation's most productive wild salmon fishery, located in Alaska.

Even Trump's former EPA administrator, the disgraced Scott Pruitt, opposed allowing the proposal to go forward. "It is my judgment at this time that any mining projects in the region likely pose a risk to the abundant natural resources that exist there," he wrote in January 2018. "Until we know the full extent of that risk, those natural resources and world-class fisheries deserve the utmost protection." The United Tribes of Bristol, representing 15 tribes in the area, blasted the Army Corps' EIS as "completely inadequate," and that it "ignores the many valid concerns about the devastating impacts this project will bring." It was also denounced by the more than 8,000 scientists and researchers of the American Fisheries Society, whose public comment said that the evaluation "fails to meet basic standards of scientific rigor."

Tribes, fishermen, Bristol Bay residents, and concerned Alaskans have sent an "SOS" to Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski for her assistance in killing the proposal.
