Rock Creek Mine Upstream from north Idaho’s Lake Pend Oreille, just across the
border in Montana, a mining company has proposed the construction of the
Rock Creek Mine, adjacent to and underneath the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness
Area. This wilderness area provides pure drinking water from snowmelt
that feeds nearby creeks and streams, extraordinary recreational opportunities,
and key habitat for threatened species such as lynx, grizzly bear, and
bull trout. The proposed Rock Creek mine would be the first mine constructed
in a federally designated wilderness area and poses a threat to the pristine
nature of this area, including contaminating or draining alpine lakes
and streams. Montana
