Sounds like the operators at pebble are doing a pretty good job.  Not perfect, but pretty darn good. When an environmental outfit comes up and puts you under a microscope and all they can come up with is:

"There is some environmental degradation out there. It is not terrible," said David Chambers

that's pretty impressive.  Especially for a place that will a giant hole after a while.  Copper is getting harder and harder to find; when prices get high enough, and the political stars line up, they will start digging.

One question though, what is a Native-run corporation, in the context of  "some Native-run corporations that have benefited"?  Is that a way to say Native Corporations support the project without saying it?
