The permit was rejected by the army engineer corps because the Pebble Limited Partnership was unable to comply with Clean Water Act guidelines to handle the waste in the ecologically sensitive area and conflicting with the public interest.

The RFA submitted by Pebble Limited Partnership says that the USACE’s Public Interest Review (PIR) for the Pebble Project, published coincident with its Record of Decision (“ROD”) in November 2020, is contrary to the law and inconsistent with the record.
