No. 2505 PUBLIC NOTICE WMR FY20-048 The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is accepting public comments specific to new underground storage tanks to be installed near Columbia Falls, Montana at the proposed Smiths #168 Fuel Center. This is only a summary of the proposed project. The entire Environmental Assessment (EA) can be viewed at http://deq.mt.gov/Land/ust/ea . DEQ has prepared the following Environmental Assessment (EA) as required by the Montana Environmental Policy Act (sections ARM 17.4.607(2) and ARM 17.4.609(2)). This project involves installing one 20,000-gallon single-compartment Xerxes Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) double-walled Underground Storage Tank (UST) containing Regular Unleaded Gasoline, and one 18,000 dual-compartment Xerxes FRP double-walled UST containing Diesel (10,000-gallon compartment) and Premium Gasoline (8,000-gallon compartment). All of the UST systems will utilize secondarily contained OPW FlexWorks double-walled flex piping which will be installed inside a 4-inch flexible chase. The proposed project will add three (3) new UST systems to the newly developed Smiths #168 Fuel Center, located at 150 Halfmoon Road, Columbia Falls, MT 59912. Specific installation plans include the following materials and monitoring systems: Tank(s): This project involves installing the following three (3) tanks: 20,000-gallon regular unleaded, 10,000-gallon diesel, and 8,000-gallon Premium gasoline. All three tanks will be Xerxes Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) double-walled UST systems. Each tank will be utilized by Smith's Food & Drug as a petroleum re-fueling site and small kiosk convenience store. Piping: All product piping associated with this project will be OPW Retail Fueling secondary contained double-walled FlexWorks flexible piping installed inside a 4-inch chase pipe. Approximately 1,280 feet of double-walled OPW Retail Fueling FlexWorks piping will be utilized for this project. Sumps: BRAVO systems model BR-B427X33-38T-22B-PP-SL fiberglass tank-top sumps will be installed around each tank's submersible turbine pump. OPW Retail Fueling FlexWorks Polyethylene Dispenser Pan under-dispenser containment sumps will be installed under each dispenser. Each tank and piping system will be continuously monitored. Monitoring will be accomplished via internal tank probes, interstitial tank sensors, as well as continuous sensor monitoring in all containment sumps and electronic line leak detection with programmed 0.2 gph shutdown rate for each of the piping runs. A Franklin Fueling Systems TS-550 EVO automatic tank gauge (ATG) will continuously monitor all operational parameters. DEQ prepares EAs to inform interested government agencies, public groups, or individuals of a proposed action and to determine whether the action may have a significant effect on human health or the natural environment. After a ten-day public comment period, DEQ will decide what action to take regarding this proposed project.
