The Idaho Panhandle National Forests will be
hosting an informational meeting about the Green
Mountain Exploratory Drilling Project Plan of
Operations. The public meeting will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, February 8, at the Sandpoint Ranger District Office, 1602 Ontario Street, Sandpoint. The meeting will allow the public to learn and ask questions about the proposed project. Pend Oreille Silica Inc. has requested to conduct exploratory drilling on National Forest System lands. The company has proposed one site for exploration from which two exploratory holes will be drilled to a maximum depth of 200 feet. The project area is located within the Sand Creek-Lake Pend Oreille watershed on the Sandpoint Ranger District. All lands disturbed during the activities in this proposal would be reclaimed, and disturbed areas would be reseeded. For more information, click here or contact Courtney Priddy at (208) 765-7207 |
