NO. 30657 Legal Notice Proposed Partial Bond Release for Montana Rockworks, LLP (Hard Rock Mining Operating Permit No. 00175) The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has received a request for bond release for Montana Rockworks, LLP (Montana Rockworks). Montana Rockworks is authorized to operate two hard rock mines for rock products under Operating Permit No. 00175. The Moose Mountain site is located on private lands in Section 30 of Township 26 North Range 25 West, approximately 13 miles southwest of the town of Marion in Flathead County. The McGregor Lake site is located on private lands in Section 32 of Township 27 North Range 25 West, approximately 9 miles west southwest of the town of Marion in Flathead County. DEQ is conducting a comprehensive bond review for Operating Permit No. 00175. DEQ has determined the current bonding level does not represent the present costs of compliance with the Metal Mine Reclamation Act, administrative rules thereunder, and the operating permit. DEQ is proposing to increase the bond by $52,737. The bond increase is largely due to changes in fuel prices, equipment rates, removal of nonmobile site equipment and updated costs such as mobilization, contingency, and administration. In addition to the comprehensive bond review, DEQ received a bond release request from Montana Rockworks in the form of a permit revision request to better align the amount of bond held with the amount if disturbance generated by Montana Rockworks’ operation. DEQ has determined the reduction in maximum allowable disturbed acres would decrease the currently required bond by $84,657, resulting in a required bond of $303,864. DEQ has determined the net effect on the bond from the five-year comprehensive review (+52,737) and decrease as a result of the release request (-$84,657) is a bond release of $31,920. Pursuant to Section 82-4-338(5), Montana Code Annotated (MCA), DEQ may not release or decrease a reclamation bond until the public has been provided an opportunity for a hearing and a hearing has been held if requested. Requests for a hearing or comments on the proposed bond release must be submitted to DEQ by September 24, 2024, and sent to Millie Olsen, Hard Rock Mining Section Supervisor, Mining Bureau, Department of Environmental Quality, PO Box 200901, Helena, MT 59620-0901, by telephone at (406) 444-2461 or by e-mail at DEQHardRock@mt.gov. Information about the proposed bond release or copies of the bond calculation may be obtained by contacting Millie Olsen at (406) 444?2461 or DEQHardRock@mt.gov.
