Billy Maines, Tribal Environmental Coordinator, gets very busy with several recycling projects during the summer. A van was barged out of Dillingham with electronics again last summer; the tribe and city through the efforts of volunteers also successfully operated the "Junk Car" project. We are also in communication with the City of Dillingham staff and planner to work toward accomplishing the goals set forth in the refuse plan. We continue to educate ourselves on the mine development district in the Illiamna Lake area; we have established a committee of Nushagak River and Bay communitities to meet and discuss threats and opportunities of mine development in the Bristol Bay region.
