MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY, and TINTINA MONTANA INC.; Defendants. INTRODUCTION 1. Plaintiffs Montana Trout Unlimited, Montana Environmental Information Center, Trout Unlimited, Earthworks, and American Rivers (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) challenge the Montana Department of Environmental Quality’s (“DEQ”) approval of Tintina Montana Inc.’s (“Tintina”) permit application for the Black Butte Copper Mine, a major copper mining project proposed in the Smith River watershed of west-central Montana. The Smith River is one of Montana’s premier recreational rivers due to its spectacular natural beauty and abundant wild trout populations. 2. Tintina’s proposed mine would excavate about 440 tons of concentrated copper ore every day in the Smith River watershed. Over the life of the project, these mining activities would generate an estimated 12.9 million tons of tailings and nearly one million tons of waste rock and pollute waters within the Smith River watershed with metals and acid-generating minerals that are harmful or lethal to aquatic life. 3. DEQ is the agency charged with permitting mining activity under the Metal Mine Reclamation Act (“MMRA”), MCA § 82-4-301 et seq., and evaluating the environmental impacts of proposed mining activities under the Montana Environmental Policy Act (“MEPA”), MCA § 75-1-101 et seq. -

Nicknamed the “President’s Weekend Snowstorm of 2003”, this storm is listed as the 5th heaviest snowstorm in Washington D.C. since 1870. A total of 16.7 inches of snow and sleet was recorded at Reagan National Airport. Pictured is a wintery scene from Leesburg, VA where snow amounts ranged from 20 to 36 inches.

THOMPSON2 Associate Professor of Range Ecology and Range Research Assistant, Animal Science Department, West River Agricultural Research and Extension Center of South Dakota State University, 801 San Francisco Street, Rapid City, SD 57701 INTRODUCTION SOUTH Dakota is located in the geographical center of the North American continent, equidistant from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and midway between the North Pole and the equa tor (United States Dept. Interior 1967). The Black Hills are situated along the state's western border (Fig. 1) lying principally within parallels 43 and 45 degrees north latitude and meridians, 103 and 104 degrees, 30 minutes, west longitude, largely in South Dakota, partly in Wyoming (Johnson 1949). Total area is about 5,150 mi2, including the Bear Lodge Mountains in northeastern Wyoming (Orr 1959). After leading a scientific party through the Black Hills in the summer of 1875, Colonel R. I. Dodge (1876) concluded: The Black Hills country is a true oasis in a wide and dreary desert. The approaches from every direction are through long 1 Approved by the director of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station as Journal Series No. 1115. • Associate Professor of Range Ecology and Range Research Assistant, Animal Science Department, West River Agricultural Research and Extension Center of South Dakota State University, 801 San Francisco Street., Rapid City, South Dakota. 37 F.

Contrary to a recent statement issued by the Wyoming Tourism and Travel Division (Casper Star-Tribune, 5 March 2006; front page), Wyoming is endowed in mosses, even to the point of local abundance! The most current published checklist (Eckel 1996) recognizes 315 species and varieties. Now and then, agencies as well as vascular plant botanists and ecologists need a reminder of what they don‘t know. Bryology (study of mosses) is in that domain for most of us.
