The US Army Corps of Engineers has posted the permit application the Pebble Partnership recently submitted to get approval to build their 11 square mile mine. The application includes maps of the mine the 1.1 billion-ton tailings storage facility and the network of roads and airstrip the company wants to build to access the mine. The plan also calls for a port on the west shore of Cook Inlet, an ice-breaking ferry across Lake Iliamna and a natural gas pipeline from the Kenai Peninsula to help power the whole operation.
