WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2001 The state of Alaska and the operators of the world's largest zinc mine on Tuesday came to a settlement over pollution complaints raised by Native villages and environmental regulators. The operators of the Red Dog Mine will pay $827,000 to settle the complaints. Part of the money will go to determine how the mine has impacted subsistence rights. Colleen Swan-Koenig, administrator for the Kivalina Tribe, said the company has never fulfilled its promises to correct problems. The mine is located near the villages of Kivalina and Noatak.
