Won’t these new wells have a negative impact on the ground water level?
R. There are historic test wells and water logs that indicate adequate water is available; our new wells confirm this. BCP will be processing a beneficial use permit through the State of Montana for the necessary water supply. This permit process will evaluate the impact these wells will have on the ground water level. Several neighboring wells were monitored during the required well pump tests to insure these wells don’t negatively impact neighboring wells. BCP will also have strict limits on the amount of irrigated landscaping allowed and will require the use of low water demand native landscaping and plumbing fixtures to reduce the amount to water needed for this project.
