State officials headed to Libby to talk natural resource work
State officials will be in Libby soon to finalize plans for natural resources work and present their plans to city and county officials.
In November, Gov. Greg Gianforte signed the Libby Asbestos Operable Unit 3 (OU3) Interim Restoration Plan. The Interim Restoration Plan describes how the state will use natural resource damage settlement funds obtained in the W.R.

The state of Montana and the bankrupt company agreed to an $18.5 million settlement for cleanup of the mine site and for natural resource damage claims in 2023.
