Once again, the Trump administration is embroiled in a lawsuit, this time with Tanana Chiefs Conference, over a “rushed, flawed, premature, and inadequate” environmental impact statement related to the proposed Ambler Road Project. The Tanana Chiefs Conference, plus a number of other independent Athabascan and Inupiat villages, have filed suit to halt the 211-mile industrial road. The road will open up access through the foothills of the Brooks Range to copper deposits on Bureau of Land Management lands. According to the lawsuit, “Mining operations are anticipated to sprawl out in every direction from the road corridor passing directly through and between several National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges, and other conservation system units, thus piercing the heart of one of the most spectacular and sensitive regions of Interior Alaska.”
