DEQ has prepared the following Environmental Assessment (EA) as required by the Montana Environmental Policy Act (sections ARM 17.4.607(2) and ARM 17.4.609(2)). This project involves installing one 20,000-gallon single-compartment Xerxes Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) double-walled Underground Storage Tank (UST) containing Regular Unleaded Gasoline, and one 18,000 dual-compartment Xerxes FRP double-walled UST containing Diesel (10,000-gallon compartment) and Premium Gasoline (8,000-gallon compartment). All of the UST systems will utilize secondarily contained OPW FlexWorks double-walled flex piping which will be installed inside a 4-inch flexible chase. The proposed project will add three (3) new UST systems to the newly developed Smiths #168 Fuel Center, located at 150 Halfmoon Road, Columbia Falls, MT 59912. Specific installation plans include the following materials and monitoring systems: Tank(s): This project involves installing the following three (3) tanks: 20,000-gallon regular unleaded, 10,000-gallon diesel, and 8,000-gallon Premium gasoline. All three tanks will be Xerxes Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) double-walled UST systems. Each tank will be utilized by Smith's Food & Drug as a petroleum re-fueling site and small kiosk convenience store. Piping: All product piping associated with this project will be OPW Retail Fueling secondary contained double-walled FlexWorks flexible piping installed inside a 4-inch chase pipe.

Monitoring will be accomplished via internal tank probes, interstitial tank sensors, as well as continuous sensor monitoring in all containment sumps and electronic line leak detection with programmed 0.2 gph shutdown rate for each of the piping runs. A Franklin Fueling Systems TS-550 EVO automatic tank gauge (ATG) will continuously monitor all operational parameters. DEQ prepares EAs to inform interested government agencies, public groups, or individuals of a proposed action and to determine whether the action may have a significant effect on human health or the natural environment.

No. 26431 LEGAL NOTICE Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking public comment on a proposal to restore riparian vegetation and improve fisheries habitat on Therriault Creek near Eureka in Lincoln County. The proposed work on private land along Therriault Creek is located approximately 1.75 miles upstream from the confluence with the Tobacco River. The project would continue previous work on Therriault Creek and would increase woody vegetation cover along the stream, increase fisheries habitat diversity, and reduce the risk of bank erosion. The proposed work would enhance vegetation along about 1,000 feet of the 9,100 feet of stream that was previously restored. FWP proposes three bioengineering treatments that would support the development of riparian woody vegetation. These techniques include stripping dense non-native pasture grasses and replanting with willows, slightly lowering inside stream banks and replanting with willows, and the installation of woody debris and willow cuttings along the stream bank. FWP would fund the completion of this project with funding received from Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). BPA previously completed an environmental impact statement that analyzed the effects of similar projects that can be found online at https://www.bpa.gov/efw/Analysis/NEPADocuments/Pages/Watershed-Management.aspx. Public comments can be submitted to: Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, Attention: Jim Dunnigan, 385 Fish Hatchery Road, Libby, MT 59923, or e-mail to jdunnigan@mt.gov. Comments will be accepted until 11:59 p.m., Sept. 10, 2019. August 14, 2019 MNAXLP __________________________
