Things are starting to move forward on the coal seam mitigation project. Over the past several months, we’ve been working through the MEPA process this stands for the Montana Environmental Policy Act, and it’s a required step tied to the funding we’ve received. MEPA ensures that environmental impacts are carefully reviewed and that the public has an opportunity to be informed and provide input before work moves ahead.

This coming week, our team will be out in the field building files and gathering data on several of the burning coal seams. While a lot of progress may not be visible day-to-day, there has been a significant amount of behind-the-scenes work taking place to get us to this point.

Our goal is to have the MEPA ready for public comment within the next 30-45 days. From there, we’ll be able to move forward with the RFQ process and continue advancing the project.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and support as we work through these important steps.
