摘要

On August 12, 1996, President Clinton signed the Crown Butte Agreement--signaling the intent of the federal government to buy out the mining interests of Crown Butte Mines, Inc., using a land exchange. Crown Butte proposed to build a gold/copper/silver mine 3 miles north of Yellowstone National Park. The Agreement, between representatives of Crown Butte Mines, local and regional environmental groups, and the President was many years in the making--and it is still not fully implemented. Proposed in the early 1990s, the New World Mine would be built in a historic mining district at an elevation of about 10,000 feet in at the head of a triple drainage which flows into either Yellowstone National Park or the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River and watersheds in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area. Proponents of the project cited the jobs, economic activity, and sophisticated technology as proof of the project's worth and safety. Opponents expressed concern over the large quantity of potentially acid-generating minerals, disproportionate interstate impacts in Wyoming and Montana, the small capitalization of Crown Butte Mines, and possible negative impacts of the mine on the region's tourism economy. As the 1990s progressed, the profile of the New World Mine disagreement escalated from a local/regional issue and interstate issue to a national and international issue. By 1996, President Bill Clinton, the United Nations, the U.S. District Court, a host of federal and state agencies, many environmental interest groups, and national and international media had opinions to render on this project. On August 12, 1996 President Clinton, and representatives from the conservation community and Crown Butte Mines signed an agreement-in-principle to have the federal government exchange the New World Mine project lands for other federal lands of equal value. To date, the Agreement has not yet been consummated. Difficulties in identifying appropriate and mutually agreeable federal lands for exchange have been the main bottleneck to finalizing the agreement. It is unclear at this time whether or not the Agreement will ever reach final resolution. If the Agreement is finalized with a successful land exchange, this author believes that it is likely that the New World buyout will be a unique event, not a precedent for future actions.
