Idaho-based Hecla Mining is ready for another shot at operating the Montanore Mine, located south of Libby in the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness.
According to a press release from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, it has drafted a new Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit to replace a 2006 permit for the Montanore Minerals Corporation Libby Exploration Project Libby Creek Adit.
The state is seeking public review and comment on two separate but related public notices. The first is for the termination of the 2006 permit and the second is for the Draft Permit and the associated draft Environmental Assessment, which was prepared in accordance with the Montana Environmental Policy Act.
