VANCOUVER – Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. reported that the Pebble Limited Partnership (PLP) has submitted extensive comments objecting to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) preemptive veto of the Pebble Project. The Pebble Partnership called upon the agency to withdraw its action and refrain from further action against the project, thus allowing the appeal process undertaken by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to conclude.
