Hard Rock Mining Impact Board

The HRMI Board administers the Hard-Rock Mining Impact Act and the companion Property Tax Base Sharing Act and provides technical assistance with metal mines license tax distributions. Board adjudicates disputes between affected entities. Purpose of HRMI and PTBS Acts is to mitigate the local government service, facility and fiscal impacts from new large-scale hard-rock mineral developments in the State. Mineral developer and affected local governments prepare and implement impact plans intended to ensure that local government services and facilities are available when and where they are needed as a result of new mineral developments, without imposing additional costs on the existing local taxpayer. Developer pays new capital and net operating costs through prepaid property taxes with a subsequent tax credit, grants, or facility impact bonds. Under specified circumstances, affected entities may petition the Board to amend approved impact plans.

Board Background

The Hard Rock Mining Impact Board is five-member, quasi-judicial board appointed by the Governor. The Board is attached to the Montana Department of Commerce for administrative purposes only. The Board was created in 1981 with the enactment of the Hard-Rock Mining Impact Act. The Board administers the Hard-Rock Mining Impact Act and parts of the Tax Base Sharing Act and adjudicates certain disputes about impact plans.
