WASHINGTON, Nov 25 (Reuters) - The Trump administration has
denied a key permit needed for a gold and copper mine planned
for near Bristol Bay, Alaska, the Washington Post said on
Wednesday.
    The Post cited a statement by Colonel Damon Delarosa,
commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Alaska, who
said that the project proposed by Pebble Limited Partnership did
not have an adequate plan to handle waste that it produced.
