Proposed Johnson Tract Gold Mine Threatens Endangered Belugas and Would Industrialize Tuxedni Bay

by | Jan 23, 2025 | , ,

The proposed Johnson Tract Mine, a non-critical gold mine proposed within Lake Clark National Park, would industrialize the west side of Cook Inlet. The effects of this industrialization would ripple out and threaten the only known winter foraging habitat of the critically endangered Cook Inlet Beluga whale, the last stronghold of Cook Inlet’s razor back clam beds still accessed for subsistence each year, and intact habitat for salmon, bears and birds which are the bedrock of the thriving eco-tourism economy in the region.

Fast Tracking Johnson Tract

by | Jan 22, 2025 | , ,

The Department of Interior and National Park Service canceled a public comment period on their draft resource analysis assessing a proposed easement for the haul road and port facility. The mine would use this infrastructure to transport ore through Lake Clark National Park & Preserve to Tuxedni Bay, where a deep water port would be constructed and the ore shipped out for processing. The blatant lack of public process, though legal in this particular case, is a clear indicator of what’s to come: an insider game of strong-arming to pressure regulators into rubber stamp permits as quickly as possible.

Our Modern Lives Demand Energy – So We Must Demand Energy We Can Live With

We now have an opportunity that the concerned citizens of 30 years ago could only have hoped for. With technology finally ready to realize the massive renewable energy opportunities in our wind, sun, and small hydro prospects (with tidal and geothermal technologies developing rapidly), we can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels for our energy needs. Our economic interest also aligns with drastically reducing gas consumption in the very near future and creating the next generation of local energy jobs.
