What's at Stake
Our Mission
The Rock Creek Alliance is a small, nonprofit organization working in western Montana and the panhandle of northern Idaho. Established in 1996, we work to protect the water quality of the Clark Fork-Pend Oreille Watershed, and to protect the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness Area, from the proposed Rock Creek Mine.
With the support of our members and communities, we have managed to hold off this massive mining proposal. You can help by adding your name, and those of your friends, to our roster. The Cabinet Mountains Wilderness Area and Lake Pend Oreille are national treasures that belong to all of us and to generations to come.

This is really critical! Trump wants to eviscerate the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Signed into law in 1970 by Richard Nixon, it requires permitting agencies to take a hard look at the environmental impacts of projects like the Rock Creek mine on publc lands. It also gives the public a voice by providing a mechanism to submit comments on these proposals. Please take a moment to submit a comment on this disastrous executive order by March 27!

The dismantling of NEPA will destroy the ability of the public to comment on and potentially stop damaging projects on public lands.

The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 kept all agencies following the same guidelines. An expedited rule change could dismantle that system.
Not unexpected, but exceedingly troublesome for our fights to stop the Cabinet Mountains mines (Rock Creek and Montanore).
