Record of Decision Notices
Section 36 Plan • Business & Technology Park
August 11, 2001
The Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) released a final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) on July 26, 2001. The FEIS is a two -
decision document — identifying recommended alternatives for (1) a land use
plan for School Trust lands located in Section 36, Township 29 N, Range 22 W,
Flathead County, Montana and (2) a proposal by Hampstead Partners, Inc. to
lease [from DNRC] approximately 60 acres in the aforementioned Section 36 to
construct a business and technology park.
It is my final decision to select Modified Alternative D as the Section 36 Land Use
Plan. Furthermore, it is my final decision to select Alternative B of the proposal
to lease land for a business and technology park. Both of these final decisions
and the reasons for these final decisions are the same as set forth in the FEIS,
thereby satisfying the required items of Section 36.2.538 (1), Administrative
Rules of Montana (ARM). The information contained in the FEIS is adopted by
reference and the basis of information and reasons for the decisions are
particularly described by the "Introduction" and "Part I" sections of the FEIS.
This letter and the FEIS, together with a legal notice of my decisions, constitute a
concise public record of decision, consistent with the requirements of Section
36.2.538, ARM. A notice of my decisions will be posted in the "Legal Notices"
section of The Daily Inter Lake, a newspaper of local circulation, on August 11,
2001.
