Perpetua Resources Corp. has received the clean air act permit to construct for the Stibnite Gold Project from the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. The air permit mandates compliance with state and federal air standards and regulates emissions from construction and operation of the Project.
“Receipt of our first permit marks a significant milestone for the Stibnite Gold Project. The approval demonstrates our commitment to comply with state and federal standards and the dedication of our team to fulfill the requirements of the permitting process,” said Laurel Sayer, president, and CEO of Perpetua Resources.
During the air permit review process, IDEQ assessed the proposed air emissions and prescribed enforceable requirements to reduce air quality impacts from the project. The final air permit is designed to ensure protection of public health and the environment. The emissions allowed by the air permit are consistent with the mine plan currently under review in the federal permitting process.
The air permit is one of many permits Perpetua is seeking in parallel with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, and the company continues to anticipate the release of a supplemental draft environmental impact statement (SDEIS) in the third quarter of 2022.
