The legal team defending the rights of project proponent the Pebble Limited Partnership (PLP) and parent company Northern Dynasty Minerals has agreed to cap fees at $1-million, to the point where motions for summary judgment in the case have been fully argued to the court and are ripe for adjudication. Northern Dynasty Minerals took the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to court in November 2014 over the EPA’s alleged violation of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) in advancing the EPA's Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment (BBWA) study and the subsequent pre-emptive veto process under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) of the company’s flagship Pebble copper/gold project, in south-western Alaska.
