DEQ reviews new septage land application site in Kalispell

Private property east of Glacier Park International Airport is under consideration for a septage land application site.

The Montana Department of Environmental Quality issued an environmental assessment Thursday for the 25-acre site at 2820 Helena Flats Road. Columbia Falls-based Mel's Pumping Inc., is asking to use the agricultural land to apply septage pumped from septic tanks, cesspools or other primary treatment sources.

This would be Mel's Pumping second land application site in the county.
