Northern Dynasty files motion to modify EPA complaint by adding new claims

Northern Dynasty and 100%-owned U.S.-based subsidiary Pebble Partnership have filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint in the federal district court in Alaska to reverse the U.S. Army Corps, or USACE, decision to deny the project a permit. Ron Thiessen, President and CEO of Northern Dynasty, said “It is important to understand that this is not a new lawsuit. It is simply an amendment of the complaint we filed against the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) by adding the USACE as another defendant. We think this substantially strengthens the existing case by focusing directly on the permit denial which was an underlying reason for the EPA veto.”
