“The geology makes the groundwater inherently susceptible to surface contamination or nitrate contamination,” LaFave said. “That’s what we think is going on down there.” In part due to the bureau’s research, the Montana Department of Environmental Quality decided in mid-August to hold off on approving any more septic systems in the southeast part of the valley until more is known about the situation.
That came as an especially disturbing surprise to developers of the 58-lot Homestake Meadows Phase Two planned for land north of Blacktail Canyon Road and the proposed 75-lot Buffalo Estates, a little closer to town along Continental Drive. Late-August construction couldn’t even start on a single house in the Warne Heights subdivision since the builder could not obtain a septic permit.
