The initiative states that, in addition to permits and other authorizations required by law, a final authorization would be needed from the Legislature for any large-scale metallic sulfide mining operation within the watershed of the Bristol Bay Fisheries Reserve. State law requires the lieutenant governor to hold public hearings around the state on initiatives. Gustafson, executive director of the Renewable Resources Coalition, said the intent is for legislative involvement at the end of the permitting process, to allow for a review of the cumulative impacts of the fully defined project and an opportunity for further public comment. The state Board of Fisheries in 2010 asked the Legislature to study permitting standards and environmental safeguards and take any steps deemed necessary to protect game and fish habitat in the area.
