  Don’t worry we’ll make sure we make up for it, by stripping all the Natural resources from some Third World country
context: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Tuesday issued a final decision to block a large proposed gold and copper mining project in Alaska's Bristol Bay watershed, which is home to dozens of Alaska Native villages and communities and is the site of one of the most valuable wild salmon fisheries in the world. 
  Why it matters: The EPA ruled through a rarely invoked authority under the Clean Water Act that part of the bay’s watershed cannot be used for dumping material from the proposed mine, citing potential "large-scale loss, and damage to" waters that support salmon populations. 
  The decision may effectively block a 2-decades-old proposal to mine the Pebble deposit, one of the world’s largest copper deposits that also contains gold- and molybdenum-bearing minerals.
