Stop the Shepherd Landfill

The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MT DEQ) has granted approval for Pacific Steel and Recycling's proposal to establish an automobile shredder residue (ASR) landfill in Shepherd, Montana. The commencement of construction is anticipated to occur immediately.

There are a multitude of technical and scientific concerns that necessitate the cessation of this landfill project. The Cottonwood Environmental Law Center, which previously submitted a comment letter on our behalf, has consented to provide legal representation at a significantly reduced rate of $150 per hour.

To address the financial requirements for this endeavor, we are seeking contributions totaling $15,000. A deadline has been set for the collection of $5,000 by this Friday (6/14/24), with an additional $10,000 required by the following week. While the sum is substantial, we are confident that with each of our 300 “Stop the Shepherd Landfill” group members contributing $50, we will achieve our goal. Please keep in mind that any donation will help and they can add up quickly!
