NO. 29791 Legal Notice Comprehensive Five-Year Bond Review for Montanore Minerals Corporation (MMC) (Hard Rock Mining Operating Permit No. 00150) The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is conducting a comprehensive bond review for Operating Permit No. 00150 issued to MMC. MMC’s facility and associated disturbances are located approximately 20 miles south of Libby in T27N, R31W. DEQ has determined that the current bonding level does not represent the present costs of compliance with the Metal Mine Reclamation Act, administrative rules adopted thereunder, and the operating permit. DEQ is proposing a bond increase of $998,935 (from $1,154,996.00 to $2,153,931.00. The bond increase is largely due to an updated analysis of the cost of installing a hydraulic bulkhead in the existing tunnel during closure, as well as changes in fuel price and equipment rates, updated indirect costs such as mobilization, contingency, administration, etc. This bond addresses the costs associated with reclamation and closure of the existing facilities and disturbances at the site (DEQ Approved Phase 1). The US Forest Service (USFS) is currently reviewing plans to extend the existing tunnel for purposes of mineral deposit definition drilling and hydrogeologic assessment (DEQ Approved Phase 2). If the USFS authorizes MMC’s project (DEQ Approved Phase 2), a determination of the additional bond required for that phase of the project would be developed in coordination with the USFS.  The procedure for adjusting bonds as a result of a comprehensive bond review is set forth in Section 82-4-338(3), MCA. The company and the public will have until October 31, 2023 to comment on the proposed bond increase. DEQ will issue a final bond determination after the comment period has expired. The company, or any person with an interest that may be adversely affected by DEQ’s final bond determination, may obtain a contested case hearing before the Board of Environmental Review. A written request for a hearing must be filed with DEQ within 30 days of the issuance of the final bond determination, stating the reason for the request. Requests for copies of the bond calculation associated with the comprehensive bond review, and any related questions should be directed to Eric Dahlgren, Hard Rock Mining Section Supervisor, Mining Bureau, Department of Environmental Quality, PO Box 200901, Helena, MT 59620-0901, by telephone at (406) 444-5245 or by e-mail at DEQHardRock@mt.gov.
