No. 26731 PUBLIC NOTICE WMR FY20-425 The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is accepting public comments specific to new underground storage tanks to be installed near Kalispell, Montana at the proposed Mountain West Coop Kalispell. This is only a summary of the proposed project. The entire Environmental Assessment (EA) can be viewed at http://deq.mt.gov/Land/ust/ea. 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 16,000-gallon triple-compartment Containment Solutions Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) double-walled Underground Storage Tank (UST) containing Off-Road Dyed Diesel (4,000 gallon compartment), Premium Roadmaster Diesel (8,000 gallon compartment), and Premium Unleaded Gasoline (4,000 gallon compartment), and one 15,000 dual-compartment Containment Solutions FRP double-walled UST containing Diesel # 2 (8,000-gallon compartment) and Regular Unleaded Gasoline (7,000-gallon compartment). All of the UST systems will utilize secondarily contained Franklin Fueling Systems APT XP secondary contained double-walled flexible pipe. The proposed project will add five (5) new UST systems to the newly developed Mountain West Coop Kalispell, located at 700 Rail Park Drive, Kalispell, MT 59901. Specific installation plans include the following materials and monitoring systems: Tank(s): This project involves installing the following five (5) tanks: 4,000-gallon dyed diesel, 8,000-gallon premium diesel, 4,000-gallon premium unleaded gasoline, 8,000-gallon # 2 diesel, and 7,000-gallon regular unleaded gasoline. All five tanks will be Containment Solutions FRP double-walled UST systems. Each tank will be utilized by Mountain West Coop Kalispell as a petroleum re-fueling site. Piping: All product piping associated with this project will be Franklin Fueling Systems APT XP secondary contained double-walled flexible pipe. Approximately 400 feet of double-walled Franklin Fueling Systems APT XP piping will be utilized in this project. Sumps: Containment Solutions fiberglass tank-top sumps will be installed around each tank's submersible turbine pump. Franklin Fueling Systems Large Mouth Polyethylene under-dispenser containment sumps will be installed under each dispenser. Each tank and piping system will be continuously monitored. 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 Veeder Root TLS 450 plus automatic tank gauge (ATG) will continuously monitor all operational parameters. DEQ prepares EAs to examine and document the effects of a proposed action on the quality of the human and physical environment. After a ten-day public comment period, DEQ will consider the substantive comments received in response the EA and proceed with one of the following actions: a) determine that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is necessary; b) determine that the EA did not adequately reflect issues raised by the proposed action and issue a revised EA; or c) determine that further environmental analysis is not necessary and make a final decision on the proposed action with any modification deemed necessary as a result of analysis in the EA and public comment. If you care to comment on this proposed project or the attached EA, please write or email the Waste Management and Remediation Division. Comments must be in writing and must be received by January 23, 2020. Our email address is dequstprogram@mt.gov and our mailing address is DEQ/UST, PO Box 200901, Helena, MT 59620-0901.

No. 26733 Notice of Availability Draft Environmental Assessment for a Flathead Lake Flowering Rush Controls Project The Bureau of Indian Affairs, Flathead Agency, in cooperation with the Salish Kootenai College Extension Program (SKCE) announce the availability of a programmatic Environmental Assessment (EA). This document evaluates the effects of a proposal by the Salish Kootenai College Extension Program (SKCE) to implement a Flathead Lake Flowering Rush Controls Project to manage the invasive aquatic plant flowering rush within the Flathead Lake littoral zone of the Flathead Reservation over the next 10 years. The EA specifies the herbicide controls and implementation strategy for managing small to large flowering rush infestations. It also establishes mitigation measures and contains a Herbicide Management Plan to avoid or minimize adverse effects. The public is invited to review and comment on this document which is available at the SKCE office located at the Salish Kootenai College campus in Pablo, MT. Persons wanting to comment can send their written comments to Virgil Dupuis, SKCE Director (virgil_dupuis@skc.edu), or PO Box 70, Pablo, MT 59855. Public comments on the EA will be accepted until COB January 31, 2020. January 16, 2020 MNAXLP __________________________
