A determination has been made by DEQ to issue a Montana Ground Water Pollution Control System (MGWPCS) permit, MTX000307, to Lakeside County Water and Sewer District (LCWSD) for the LCWSD Rapid Infiltration System. This permitting action authorizes discharge of treated wastewater to ground water. The scope of this permitting action is for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the proposed wastewater treatment and disposal system.
The applicant proposes to build and operate a wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater generated by the county will undergo treatment and on-site disposal. Wastewater treatment may include use of advanced treatment levels with sequencing batch reactor technology with biochemical nutrient reduction (or similar). DEQ recognizes that in comparison to conventional septic treatment, the proposed treatment system provides a higher level of treatment for nutrients.
The proposed facility will use rapid infiltration basins (Outfalls 001, 002, and 003) to discharge treated wastewater to underlying groundwater. The facility’s proposed location is: Township 27N, Range 21W, Section 11N; Flathead County; Latitude: 48.1127610º North, Longitude: -114.225111º West.
