"EPA has lifted the Obama-era proposed 'veto' of the Pebble mine, reversing a decision last year not to scrap the pending mining restrictions on the massive copper and gold project upstream from Alaska's Bristol Bay.

The agency is issuing a notice of withdrawal for the 2014 proposed determination made under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act.

In a statement, Region 10 Administrator Chris Hladick said the agency will now 'focus on the permit review process for the Pebble Mine project.'"
