Site of the Montana Artesian Water Company bottling plant near Creston, MT.
A Flathead County District Court judge ruled July 21 that a Montana Department of Environmental Quality review failed to consider the full effects of a water-bottling plant near Creston.
Montana Artesian Water Co.’s bottling plant obtained a
wastewater discharge permit from the DEQ in 2017. However, that ruling was challenged in court by a local activists group and neighboring landowners. They argued the DEQ permit and a beneficial water permit from the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation were invalid for failing to properly assess the environmental impacts of the permits as required by Montana Environmental Protection Act.
A couple of air quality monitoring stations around Billings had readings in the unhealthy range on Monday (7/26), and with a high concentration of pollutants expected to continue from western wildfires, being outdoors will make it hazardous for some groups this week.
According to the Billings - Lockwood monitoring station, the air quality has been unhealthy for sensitive groups in Yellowstone County as of the 7am reading on Monday, and quickly jumped to near the unhealthy range around 1pm.
What are the air quality health effects categories?
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality says when air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups, the say active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
