Both these permits have been approved:

The Peak Fitness Center has been working jointly with Watson Children’s Center to obtain this site. Watson Children’s Center will be located on the other portion of Tract B of Packwest Addition Lot 2A and Tracts B, C, and D, or the remaining 13.28 acres. During project review of this site, it was discovered that the aquifer beneath the 17.92 acre tract and the surrounding area was found to have elevated nitrate and chloride levels to the point where the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) would define the aquifer as contaminated. It is believed that the aquifer has been impacted by continued subsurface sanitary sewer disposal practices. MDEQ regulations prohibit further introduction of sanitary sewer effluent into the ground on this parcel. In order to correct this problem, Peak and Watson’s will modify the existing effluent treatment facility to include a Sequencing Batch Reactor system that will treat both the existing effluent and the anticipated effluent volumes. Given the expense factor of the necessary system, Watson Children’s Center a local non-profit organization providing emergency care to youth 14 and under, is a large stakeholder in the granting of this variance request.
Without the approval of this variance request, the Peak Tennis Facility will not be able to locate on the proposed parcel and Watson Children’s Center will not be able to afford the necessary effluent treatment system alone and therefore will not be able to locate at the desired location as well. Without this approval the neighborhood and community will continue to be impacted by the degraded aquifer.
The Office of Planning and Grants has not received any negative comment from agencies or adjacent property owners regarding this use variance request.


Watson Children’s Center is a large stakeholder in the approval of this variance and if this variance is not granted Watson’s will not be able to locate on the remainder of the parcel due to their inability to pay for the required effluent treatment system.
Watson Children’s Center is financially unable to solely pay for the required system needed to meet MDEQ approval. Peak Fitness Center’s funding a portion of the required system is critical to Watson’s development plans.
