Oliver Walter, Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Charboneau, Joseph L.M., A floristic inventory of Phillips and Valley counties, Montana, U.S.A., M.S., Department of Botany, May, 2013. This study marks the first floristic inventory of Valley and Phillips counties on the glaciated plains of northeastern Montana. The 8,954 sq mi (23,191 sq km) study area was surveyed for all vascular plant taxa on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, State of Montana, American Prairie Reserve, and The Nature Conservancy. Elevation ranges from 2,020–5,720 ft (616–1,743 m). In the summers of 2010 and 2011, 12,785 voucher specimens were collected from 308 sites documenting 761 unique taxa, 717 species, and 358 genera from 86 families. Among these are 108 taxa exotic to Montana, nine noxious weed species, and 15 taxa of conservation concern. Approximately 32% of the taxa collected are newly documented within the area. Results are enumerated in an annotated checklist and vegetation types are described. Analyses of the study’s sampling adequacy are also discussed. 1 A FLORISTIC INVENTORY OF PHILLIPS AND VALLEY COUNTIES, MONTANA, U.S.A. by Joseph L.M.

MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY, and BLUE ARC, LLC. Defendants. INTRODUCTION 1. This case challenges state approval for a plan by Blue Arc, LLC (“Blue Arc”) to explore for gold at the former Zortman mine site (“Zortman”) in the Little Rocky Mountains, adjacent to the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation (“the Reservation”), which is the home of the Gros Ventre and Assiniboine Tribes (collectively, “the Tribes” or “Fort Belknap Tribes”). Blue Arc’s project seeks to explore for a new gold mining project in an area ravaged by the impacts of previous gold-mining efforts, including the contamination of surface and ground waters by acid mine drainage and other toxic pollutants. Even with ongoing water treatment, that contamination has already spread to, and continues to creep deeper onto, the Reservation, including near key cultural sites and the Fort Belknap Tribes’ powwow grounds.

  • Hardrock Mining in Montana
    Hardrock Mining in Montana In 2007-2008, Congress will be considering changes to the antiquated Mining Law of 1872, which governs how gold, copper and other ‘hardrock minerals’ are developed on our National Forests and national resource lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Here are some nuggets about mining in Montana. Mining Claims: Mining interests control approximately 11,609 mining claims on public lands in Montana, covering roughly 257,467 acres.1 The number of mining claims staked on public lands in Montana has increased by 7% from 2002 to September 2006.2 Of the top five claim holders in Montana, three out of five are controlled by foreign corporations. Claim Holder # of Claims Estimated Acreage Beartooth Platinum Corp. 1,055 21,186 (Canada) Norilsk (Russia) 849 15,567 Sterling Mining (now 444 7,744 Revett) (Canada) Graymont Western Inc. 383 7,474 (U.S. – Salt Lake City) ASARCO/Grupo Mexico 346 7,117 (Mexico) Source: http://www.ewg.org/sites/mining_google/US/index.php The five Montana counties with the most acres claimed on the public lands are: Sweet Grass County 30,419 acres, Jefferson County 28,920 acres, Beaverhead County 23,902 acres, Madison County 21,402 acres, and Broadwater County 19,817 acres Mining Operations: Montana has twelve major hardrock mines within its borders at various stages of operation or reclamation/closure, employing 2,273 on site, according to the Mine Safety and Health Administration, representing 0.53% of the total employment in the state of Montana. Many of these are located on a combination of patented and unpatented lands.
