NO. 32442 Partial Bond Release and Comprehensive Bond Review for GCC Trident, LLC (Hard  Rock Mining Operating Permit No. 00004) The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has received a request for bond  release from GCC Trident, LLC (GCC). GCC is authorized to operate a limestone quarry,  sandstone quarry, and shale quarry on two sites under Operating Permit No. 00004. The  quarries are located on private land in Gallatin County. The limestone quarry area is in  Sections 3, 4, 9, and 10 of Township 2 North, Range 2 East, and the sandstone and shale  quarry area in Section 13 of Township 2 North, Range 2 East, approximately 5 miles NE and  6 miles ENE of Three Forks, MT, respectively. DEQ currently holds a reclamation bond in the amount of $5,242,077. DEQ is proposing to  release $3,471 and retain $5,708,881 after both releasing bond for completed reclamation  tasks and increasing the bond as a result of a comprehensive bond review. The bond release was requested by GCC on February 20, 2026, for completion of reclamation activities on 10.7 acres of land in the sandstone and shale quarry area. DEQ determined GCC had established a final vegetative surface cover eligible for bond release during a site inspection on October 9, 2024. DEQ has determined the completion of  reclamation on the 10.7 acres of land in the sandstone and shale quarry area would decrease the currently required bond by $3,471, resulting in a required bond of $5,238,606. In addition to the request for bond release, DEQ is conducting a comprehensive bond  review for Operating Permit No. 00004. DEQ has determined that the current bonding level  does not represent the present costs of compliance with the Metal Mine Reclamation Act,  administrative rules adopted thereunder, and the operating permit. DEQ is proposing to  increase the bond by $470,275. The bond increase is largely due to changes in fuel price,  equipment rates, removal of nonmobile site equipment and updated indirect costs such as  mobilization, contingency, and administration. DEQ has determined the net effect on the bond from the release request ($3,471) and  increase as a result of the five-year comprehensive review ($470,275) is a bond increase of  $466,804. The procedure for adjusting bonds as a result of a comprehensive bond review is set forth  in Section 82-4-338(3), MCA. Pursuant to Section 82-4-338(5), Montana Code Annotated (MCA), DEQ may not release or decrease a reclamation bond until the public has been  provided an opportunity for a hearing and a hearing has been held if requested. The permittee and the public will have until December 4th to comment on these proposed changes to the bond amount. DEQ will issue a final bond determination after the comment period has expired. The permittee, or any person with an interest that may be adversely affected by DEQ’s final bond determination, may obtain a contested case hearing before  the Board of Environmental Review. A written request for a hearing must be filed with DEQ  within 30 days of the issuance of the final bond determination, stating the reason for the  request. Requests for copies of the bond calculation associated with the comprehensive bond review, accommodations for persons with disabilities who need an alternative accessible format of this notice, and any related questions should be directed to Millie Olsen, Hard Rock Mining Section Supervisor, Mining Bureau, Department of Environmental Quality, PO Box 200901, Helena, MT 59620-0901, by telephone at (406) 444-2461 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Requests for accommodation must be submitted no later than 5:00 P.M. on November 24th. November 4, 2026 MNAXLP __________________________
