Red Dog, and the arrangement that built it.
3 pieces in this section
Red Dog is a major zinc producer sitting in the Wulik's upper watershed, which is why water quality here is monitored as closely as it is.
The operating agreement between the regional corporation and the operator is the reason the mine exists in this form, and royalties flow through it.
Tailings and water management in a place that freezes and thaws is the part of the operation that has to work for longer than the mine runs.
Where this section sits: the Wulik drainage from the De Long Mountains to the Chukchi Sea.
