NOTICE OF IMPORTANCE PLEASE READ
It has come to our attention that the MT-DNRC has inadequately informed the public about the new procedures introduced by House Bill 681. This notification serves educational purposes only. If you or someone you know is planning to drill a well or has an exempt well on their property, it is crucial to read and comprehend the following documents, beginning with the Notice of Intent (NOI) handout form. We are more than willing to address any questions you may have; alternatively, you may direct questions to your local Montana DNRC office.
Thank you,
- Dane Jacobson
