Donlin Gold has filed water right permit applications to withdraw water from 12 creeks in order to support the workings and waste management of the Donlin Gold Project. Tomorrow (12/15) is the last day to comment #noDonlinGold https://secure.ngpvan.com/JEKyG0UlF02tXXFdErwESQ2?emci=c4ab1359-823a-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&emdi=6524eae8-193b-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&ceid=284236

If approved, these withdrawals would reduce the flow of Crooked Creek, a salmon-supporting tributary of the Kuskokwim River, by 8.5 billion gallons per year. This fantastic thread by @ernlarson explains more about this process: https://twitter.com/ernlarson/status/1333572798401245184
Please stand with those in the Yukon-Kuskokwim who rely on this watershed for food & clean water by adding your comments. These waterways have been stewarded for millennia & should not be sacrificed for mineral extraction at the expense of people & lifeways that rely on them.
