Same story, another state, battles protecting their outstanding waters. 
The anti deg win was huge and proves we can win if enough folks get
involved.  Phyllis

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Trout Unlimited and several other organizations are
calling on the state to protect the Koktuli River in southwest Alaska.

The conservation group wants the river designated as an Outstanding
National Resource Water, which is a designation under the Clean Water
Act.

Trout Unlimited says the river is facing unprecedented threats from the
proposed Pebble Mine, a huge copper and gold deposit near the world's
best salmon streams.

The designation would bar any new or increased pollution discharges
within the river.

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation is the agency that
identifies Outstanding National Resource Waters with help from the
public.
