Pre-Permitting Environmental / Socio-Economic Data Report Series

Report Series N-Terrestrial Wildlife and Habitats

Preliminary data. Do not cite or quote.

The Pebble Partnership is providing environmental and socio-economic baseline data collected to inform the development of the Pebble Project to state and federal agencies, project stakeholders and the general public prior to project permitting as part of its commitment to full and open disclosure.

A comprehensive Environmental Baseline Document (EBD) will subsequently be prepared and appended to future project permit applications. The EBD will also be made publicly available when complete.

Collected for the Pebble Partnership by:

ABR, Inc.P.O. Box 24068Anchorage, AK 99524
