Dear Mr. Boyd:
Kake Tribal Corporation has reviewed the Coeur Alaska,
Inc. Kensington XL Pilot Project application dated July 14, 1995. Kake
supports your application as it will provide a means for the Kensington
Project to meet all necessary environmental standards in a cost effective
and technically feasible manner.
As proposed in this application, effluent which has received enhanced
treatment will be discharged into fresh water rather than the marine
waters of Lynn Canal. This will allow the Kensington Project to meet
environmentally safe standards while alleviating local concerns about
discharges into the marine waters of an important fisheries area. Kake
Tribal Corporation considers this to be the most important environmental
benefit as we are the majority owner of Health Sea, Inc., a firm which
purchases fish from the Lynn Canal fishermen.
Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation may forward this letter of support to
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Sincerely,
Gordon Jackson
President/CEO
Kake Tribal Corporation
