Montanore Project; Montana
The USDA Forest Service (Kootenai National Forest) and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality issued a Final EIS that evaluates the potential environmental impacts of a proposed copper and silver underground mine about 18 miles south of Libby, Montana. DOE’s Bonneville Power Administration, a cooperating agency, has jurisdiction over the construction of a transmission line and two substations needed for powering the mine facilities if the proposed action is implemented.
