UNITED STATES HAD PROJECT VETO The United States had an effective veto on the project since the only viable portsite was located in Alaska and required the approval of both that State and especially the Federal US Government (since constitutional responsibility for lands and resources rests primarily at the national US level). On the US side, no permitting ever got to the first stage of acceptance. Therefore this failure of the Windy Craggy project would likely have proved fatal regardless of what the BC Government had decided. spacesfornature.org In 1991 Tatshenshini International was established, linking together the top 50 conservation organisations in North America. An extremely intensive campaign followed in Canada and in the United States, particularly the U.S. Congress, and eventually the White House, when the active involvement of then Vice-President Al Gore was enlisted. Eventually, then BC Premier Mike Harcourt responded by undertaking a review of the issues surrounding Tatshenshini-Alsek by the Commission on Resources and the Environment (CORE). BC government under Premier Harcourt decided in June 1993 to protect Tatshenshini-Alsek as a Class A park. The owners of the Windy-Craggy mineral claims were given a $103.8 million settlement. en.wikipedia.org
