Public Notice - Opencut Mining Permit Felstet Concrete Products LLC plans to permit an existing opencut gravel pit in Section 16, T20N, R26W, and legally described as Lot 1B of Certificate of Survey 3209MS in Sanders County, Montana. The property has a physical address of 7334 Montana Highway 200, Plains, MT 59859. The opencut mining operation currently occupies a total of 26.9 acres of land owned by Felstet Concrete Products LLC. The existing permit previously mined gravels and sands. However, the plan for this existing opencut area is for reclamation only. A Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) Opencut Mining permit has recently been applied for to extend the required reclamation date to December 2021 to ensure all growth can occur as required. As a part of the permit application process they are required to send a public notice to all property owners located within one-half mile of the proposed boundary of the opencut permit, as well as publish notice of the proposed operation twice in a local newspaper. A map for this site can be obtained from the following website: https://searchopencutpermits.mt.gov/ and by searching the Opencut # "3110" in the search bar to view the current application materials and the site exhibits. Currently, the site is an existing opencut mining pit and rangeland. During previous mining, the site contained 18 of soil that will be replaced once an approved permit is obtained. Gravels and sand are the materials that were previously mined from the site, but no future mining is currently planned. The site is currently accessed off of Montana Highway 200, two miles west from Plains, MT. The attached site map shows the site operations. Also included with this letter is the MDEQ Request for Public Meeting form. This form provides information on how surface landowners can request a public meeting to discuss this operation, if desired. The current opencut permitting activities are planned to be completed by December 2021. If you have any questions, please contact the operator at the information listed below.
