Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. and the Pebble Partnership (PLP) highlight several design features that enhance the safety of the tailings storage facility (TSF) for the Proposed Pebble Project to counter negative generalizations repeatedly put forward by project opponents. All currency references are in U.S. dollars. More than 30 alternative tailings sites were evaluated before the final site was selected to minimize the tailings footprint on wetlands.

In fact, project as proposed would impact less than one mile of stream for every 1,000 miles of streams feeding into Bristol Bay.
