RE: Laurel Wastewater Facilities Plan Approval, WPCSRF Project C303195-01
Dear Mr. Sheridan:
We reviewed the 2009 Laurel Wastewater Facilities Plan Update, which was received by the
Department on February 27, 2009. This 2009 report was based upon the original 2003
wastewater facilities plan and its 2006 update. With the responses to the Department's March
27, 2009 review letter, the 2009 Laurel Wastewater Facilities Plan Update meets the minimum
requirements of the Preliminary Engineering Report outline found in the Uniform Application and
Chapter 11 of Circular DEQ 2 - Design Standards for Wastewater Facilities for Montana Public
Facility Projects.
An environmental assessment (EA) has been completed and was released for public comment.
The 30-day public comment period started on May 13, 2009 and ended on June 11, 2009. No
substantive comments were received regarding the proposed project and therefore the FONSI
issued by this department is final and the MEPA process is now complete. By the authority
provided in the Montana Water Quality Act and Title VI of the Clean Water Act, we approve the
Facilities Plan for the Montana Department of Environmental Quality.
If you would like to have an "approved" document for your records, please have your engineer
submit another copy to our office that can be stamped and returned to you. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact me at (406) 444-5322.
Sincerely,
Michele Marsh, P.E.
Environmental Engineer
