Montana Title 75. Environmental Protection § 75-5-803. Fees for concentrated animal feeding operation permits--environmental review

(2) The department is required to conduct only the type of environmental assessment that would be conducted for a routine action with limited environmental impact pursuant to Title 75, chapter 1, part 2, as the necessary level of environmental review for concentrated animal feeding operations that qualify for a general permit pursuant to 75-5-802. For concentrated animal feeding operations that require an individual permit, the level of environmental review must be an environmental assessment unless the department determines that an environmental impact statement is required pursuant to 75-1-201. A programmatic environmental impact statement is not required for permitting conducted under 75-5-802.
