Job Description
Northern Plains Resource Council seeks a qualified independent contractor to serve as a technical advisor/consultant. Northern Plains is a grassroots conservation organization that organizes Montanans to protect our water quality, family farms and ranches, and our unique quality of life. This advisor will participate in the ongoing implementation of the Good Neighbor Agreement (GNA) with Sibanye-Stillwater that oversees work at the company’s platinum-palladium operation in Montana’s Beartooth Mountains. This is the largest active mine in Montana.
The precedent-setting Good Neighbor Agreement is a contract that was signed in 2000 as a way to ensure that this large hardrock mine would minimize impacts to nearby communities and natural resources. The Agreement’s parties today are Sibanye-Stillwater, Northern Plains Resource Council, and two community groups affiliated with Northern Plains – Stillwater Protective Association and Cottonwood Resource Council.
