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.
