The Water Protection Bureau has prepared draft permits for the facilities listed below. Copies of the draft permits, fact sheets, and environmental assessments are available upon request from the Water Protection Bureau or on the Department's website www.deq.mt.gov. APPLICANT INFORMATION APPLICANT: FCA Rentals, LLC FACILITY NAME: Glacier Park International Airport Rental Car Facility Carwash FACILITY LOCATION: The facility is located seven miles north of Kalispell, MT on U.S. Highway #2. It is located just south of the Glacier Park International Airport. RECEIVING WATER: Outfall 001 - Class I Ground Water PERMIT NUMBER: MTX000220 A determination has been made by DEQ to reissue an existing Montana Ground Water Pollution Control System (MGWPCS) permit to FCA Rentals, LLC for the Glacier Park International Airport Rental Car Facility Carwash. This permitting action reauthorizes discharge of treated wastewater to ground water. The scope of this permitting action is for the operation and maintenance of the existing wastewater treatment and disposal system. The facility consists of a 2-bay 5-touch wash system manufactured by NS Wash Systems. Wash water drains into an in-bay subfloor sump system where it is recycled through a series of baffled settling/storage tanks for reuse. A HydroKleen filter system by Hydro Engineering was installed for the purpose of treating discharged wastewater. Current operations of the facility have not resulted in any reported discharge events since 2011. The permittee is however authorized to discharge treated wastewater to an infiltration pond (Outfall 001) located 130 feet to the northeast of the car wash building. The infiltration pond is located: Southwest Qtr. of Section 03, Township 29 North, Range 21 West; Latitude: 48.30458º North; Longitude: 114.25542º West; Flathead County.
