Dear Mr. Olson:
Pursuant to the Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM) 17.30.1372, the Department is
issuing Public Notice MT-09-09 stating that a tentative determination has been made to
issue a wastewater discharge permit to the City of Laurel wastewater plant. The draft
permit has been prepared under the authority of the Montana Water Quality Act (WQA),.
Title 75; Chapter 5 and Sections 402 and 303 of the federal Clean Water Act.
A copy of the public notice, draft permit and fact sheet for this facility is enclosed for
your information. A copy of the public notice is being provided to other parties who
have expressed interest in wastewater discharge permits issued by the Department.
The public comment period closes May 5, 2009.
During the public comment period, any interested person including the applicant may
submit comments to the Department on the draft permit and may request a public
hearing. In accordance with AMR 17.30.1373, a request for a public hearing must be in
writing and must state the nature of the issues to be raised during the hearing.
All persons, including the applicant, who believe any condition of a draft permit is
inappropriate or in error, or that the tentative decision to issue the permit is incorrect
must submit these concerns in writing to the Department prior to close of the public
comment period. The Department must consider all comments in making a final
decision to issue the permit and in preparing a final permit.
