DNRC signs off on Triple Tree plan for stormwater discharge to Pendre Creek; county approves involvement
Summary
The commission approved county-level participation in the East Side Conrad stormwater plan after the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation reviewed Triple Tree Engineering's revisions.
Pondera County commissioners approved the county’s portion of a stormwater plan for the east side of Conrad on May 21 after the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) regional engineers accepted modifications from Triple Tree Engineering.
Staff explained the plan addresses stormwater that will discharge into Pendre Creek; one discharge point is in county jurisdiction outside Conrad city limits. The county’s submission to DNRC and follow-up materials satisfied the agency’s technical requirements, staff said, and the commission voted to approve county involvement. The record notes the county intends to pursue a combined permit with the City of Conrad, but the city’s participation is a separate decision for the city government.
The discussion clarified that a floodplain/flood-zone manager position remains vacant in county administration and that DNRC review was required because the work affects a waterway. Commissioners approved the county action by voice vote.
