| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | A full public inspection copy of Form 990 is posted on a secure web portal accesssible by the trustees at least one week prior to filing. The trustees are notified of the Form 990 posting and encouraged to review and comment on it prior to filing. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The conflict of interest prevention policy requires an annual disclosure by trustees and senior staff of entities in which they have personal, financial or professional interests. The results of those disclosures are compiled into a screening list of entities used by the board chair, chief executive officer and general counsel when reviewing potential transactions between Earthjustice and outside entities. The screening list is used to check to assure that individual decision-makers recuse themselves from any participation in decisions affecting the entities in which they have interests. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | We get competitive data from an outside compensation consultant for our CEO. In addition our VP-HR collects salaries of CEOs from other non-profit environmental organizations to obtain additional data for the key national non-profit environmental organizations. This information is passed along to the Executive Committee of our Board of Directors who reviews the data and makes the appropriate recommendation for our CEO salary. We do a bi-annual review of all positions in the organization including the CEO and all staff. We update all position descriptions and use an outside compensation consultant to determine salaries that match the job responsibilities in the non-profit sector in the specific geographic areas in which our jobs are located. Our VP-HR also contacts other environmental non-profit companies to obtain additional competitive information. For non-attorney jobs, each job is assigned a grade. Each grade has a minimum, midpoint, and maximum salary. We consider mid-point of the grade the appropriate salary to be an employee fully competent in the job. Our VP-HR then works with managers, based on performance to determine what the appropriate salary should be within this range. Since this process is quite time intensive, we do this every other year. In the year we don't go through this process, we get competitive data about what the average raise will be and use this as a guideline for our budgeting process. Our attorneys' pay is based on year of graduation from law school to which we add a geographic adjustment based on the office location, i.e. Bozeman, Montana vs. New York, NY. We contact competitors like the Sierra Club and also government entities like the Department of Justice to determine the appropriate pay for our attorneys. | |

Summary: Coal bed methane gas extraction and open-pit coal mining proposed for the Canadian headwaters of the transboundary Flathead River threaten to contaminate the river's pristine waters and fragment the Flathead's unique wildlife habitats, impacting not only the Canadian portion of the Flathead River basin, but also the US segments of the river and Glacier National Park. We petitioned the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO to designate Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park as a "World Heritage Site In Danger." In May 2009, we organized clients to pressure Canadian and US decision makers to encourage the World Heritage Committee review of the threats to Glacier National Park at their June 2009 annual session. 53,000 action alerts later, we succeeded. In June 2009, the World Heritage Committee voted unanimously to urge Canada not to proceed with energy development in British Columbia's Flathead valley without thorough environmental review. Several countries chastised Canada. The Committee also sent a fact-finding mission from the IUCN and World Heritage Centre to the Park and surrounding areas in September 2009. The mission's report, which makes recommendations to the Committee for its June 2010 meeting, recommends listing Waterton-Glacier on the List in Danger if mining proposals move forward to the application stage.

We are currently discussing settlement possibilities with EPA, and anticipate that we will be able to settle this case in the next 60 to 90 days. If settlement fails, we may need to pursue an unreasonable delay lawsuit in order to correct this situation and protect Idaho's waters. WILDLIFE I.
