High court to hear dispute over Alaska gold mine
"The whole reason Congress passed the Clean Water Act was to stop turning our lakes and rivers into industrial waste dumps," Waldo said. "The Bush administration selected the Kensington mine to test the limits of the Clean Water Act."
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a permit for waste disposal at the proposed Kensington mine north of Juneau in '05.
Under the plan, tailings would be dumped into Lower Slate Lake.

Gold mine wants court to OK dumping waste in Alaska lake ~Matthew Daly
~But mining company lawyer Theodore Olson told justices that the waste is more accurately defined as "fill." And, after a decade or more of mining, he said, the lake could be restocked with no permanent harm to the environment. "There will be more fish in a bigger lake, and more livable conditions for the fish and the aquatic life after this process is finished," Olson said.
Justice David Souter called that logic "Orwellian." He said the mining company, Coeur Alaska Inc., and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which granted a permit for the mine, were "defining away" the problem by calling the wastewater discharge fill.
