The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) Conservation and Resource Development Division (CARDD) is issuing the FINAL Environmental Assessment for the Winifred Wastewater Treatment and Discharge Project. The project proposes to use American Rescue Plan Act funds to construct a new 3-celled facultative lagoon north of the town and construct an adjacent spray irrigation process for the disposal of effluent. A new lift station will pump from the existing sewer collection main on the northeast side of Town and pump to the new treatment and disposal facilities approximately one-half mile due north of town. The implementation of this new facility should eliminate the Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (MPDES) discharge permit, address public health concerns associated with noncompliant discharge, protect local groundwater, improve aquatic life conditions in Dog Creek, and develop a new water supply for beneficial use of a marketable crop (alfalfa) through spray irrigation.
