About
Thanks to PCECs work we were able to: 1. Amplify and promote local voices through the Yellowstone GatewayBusiness Coalition. 2. Develop and implement a shared campaign plan with coalitionpartners at the local, state and national level. 3. Protect public lands through the administrative process. 4. Achieve permanent protection through legislation. 5.Protect private lands through strategic land purchases and local land-use policies.And here is the record of success:In Nov. 2016, Sec. of the Interior Sally Jewell came to Chico Hot Springs to announce a two-year withdrawal of mining rights in 30,000 acres of the Custer Gallatin National Forest where the mines were proposed.In Oct. 2018, Sec. of the Interior Ryan Zinke extended the moratorium to 20 years at a ceremony at Sage Lodge.We won a lawsuit against the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, with a judge ruling that approval of Lucky Minerals exploratory mining permit was unlawful.In March 2019, President Donald Trump signed permanent protection for 30,000 acres of Custer Gallatin National Forest. Called the Yellowstone Gateway Protection Act, the bill was championed by PCEC and the coalition. The bill was introduced by Democratic Sen. Jon Tester and co-sponsored by Republican Sen. Steve Daines and Rep. Greg Gianforte. Today, both Lucky Minerals and Crevice Mountain have said they want to make the mines a reality, and community members remain concerned that mineral exploration on patented mining claims could still lead to mines in Emigrant Gulch and near Jardine. We also work every day to encourage Park County residents to egnage in local land-use planning and community development.
