Montanore
Mine permitted by federal officials, but battle to protect wilderness continues
Montanore Mine
“In December 2015, the Kootenai National Forest (KNF) and the Montana
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) issued a Joint Final Environmental
Impact Statement (Joint Final EIS) for the Montanore Project, a proposed copper
and silver underground mine located about 18 miles south of Libby near the
Cabinet Mountains of northwestern Montana. The KNF and DEQ issued a Draft EIS
for the Montanore Project on February 27, 2009, for public comment. In response
to public comment, the agencies revised the mine alternatives (Alternatives 3
and 4) and transmission line alignments (Alternatives C, D, and E) and issued a
Supplemental Draft EIS on October 7, 2011. On April 1, 2015, the KNF issued a
Final EIS and a Draft Record of Decision (ROD) to provide for a pre-decisional
objection process in compliance with 36 CFR 218.”
