Montana Ground Water Pollution Control System (MGWPCS) Permitting Process
The Ground Water Program of the Water Pollution Bureau
administers a program that issues Montana Ground Water Pollution Control
System (MGWPCS) permits to the owners or operators of potential sources of
pollution to state ground waters. The current list of permittees includes
operations such as custom metal ore milling companies, petroleum
distribution companies, soil remediation facilities, and agricultural
producers. The structures from which waste materials are discharged
include tailings ponds, waste treatment and storage ponds, spill clean-up
systems, and soil treatment cells that potentially discharge to ground
water.
