10:21 AM EST - Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. : Reports that, on Friday April 17, a US federal district court judge in Alaska granted the US Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") ‘Motion to Dismiss' a case brought by a collection of anti-Pebble activist groups.The litigation challenged EPA's July 2019 decision to formally withdraw its prior regulatory action under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act (initiated in 2014 by the Obama Administration), which sought to pre-emptively veto the Pebble Project before permit applications had been filed or an Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") permitting process was undertaken. In granting the Motion to Dismiss, US District Judge Sharon L. Gleason found the anti-Pebble activists had "failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted". Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd.
