III. DOCUMENTATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH ADOPTED STANDARDS
The following information is provided in order to document compliance with adopted development
standards.
3.1. Surface water.
a. Mapping. Locate on a plat overlay or sketch map all surface waters and the delineated
floodplain which may affect or be affected by the proposed subdivision including: (1)
Natural water systems such as natural streams, creeks, stream/ditches, drainages,
waterways, gullies, ravines or washes in which water flows either continuously or
intermittently and has a definite channel, bed and banks. (2) Artificial water systems such
as canals, ditches, ditch/streams, aqueducts, reservoirs, irrigation or drainage systems.
Response: This information is shown on the Preliminary Plat attached as Appendix 2
and on the map of Existing Conditions attached as Appendix 6.
b. Description. (1) Describe all surface waters which may affect or be affected by the
proposed subdivision including name, approximate size, present use and time of year when
water is present. (2) Describe proximity of proposed construction (such as buildings, sewer
systems, streets) to surface waters.
Response: This information is shown on the Preliminary Plat attached as Appendix
2.
c. Water body alteration. Describe any existing or proposed streambank or shoreline
alterations or any proposed construction or modification of lake beds, watercourses or
irrigation ditches. Provide information on location, extent, type and purpose of alteration.
Provide a revised floodplain analysis report, in compliance with article 6 of this chapter, as
appropriate.
Response: The proposed bore, under Bozeman Creek, won't affect the surface water
as the extent of the bore is outside the floodplain, and deep enough to not be affected
by scour. The utility line will be installed using a specialized, trenchless technique
called directional boring. This method is designed to pass significantly beneath the
streambed—over 6.5 feet below the bottom of the creek—and is strategically routed
entirely outside of the creek’s active floodplain. By maintaining a distance of more
than 115 feet horizontally from the creek surface, this approach ensures that the
installation will have absolutely no physical impact on the surface water, banks, or
ecological health of Bozeman Creek.
d. Wetlands. If the subdivision contains wetlands, as defined in section 38.700.210 of this
chapter, then a delineation of the wetland meeting standards of division 38.610 must be
provided and the location of existing and proposed modifications to wetlands must be
shown on an overlay of the proposed plat.
Response: This information is shown on the Preliminary Plat attached as Appendix
2, on the map of Existing Conditions attached as Appendix 6, and in the Waters of
the US Delineation; Bozeman Creek attached as Appendix 7.
e. Permits. Include copies of any permits listed in section 38.41.020 that have been
obtained for the project.
Page 10 of 15
Response: This information is described in the Joint Application for Proposed Work
in Montana’s Streams, Wetlands, Floodplains, and other Waterbodies attached as
Appendix 8. An updated floodplain permit will be resubmitted for the Subdivision.
3.2. Floodplains. A floodplain analysis report must be submitted with the preliminary plat in
compliance with division 38.600 of this chapter.
Response: This information is described in the Joint Application for Proposed Work
in Montana’s Streams, Wetlands, Floodplains, and other Waterbodies attached as

Property attached as Appendix 9. There are no slopes in excess of 15 percent grade.
Page 11 of 15
d. Soils map. The subdivision must be overlaid on the county soil survey maps obtained
from the Natural Resource and Conservation Service (NRCS). The maps are 1:24,000 in
scale. These maps may be copied without permission. However, enlargement of these maps
could cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping. Soils were mapped using a
minimum delineation of five acres, and these soils reports were intended to alert developers
to possible problems and the need for a more detailed on-site investigation. The developer
must provide the following soil reports, which can be obtained from the NRCS:
(1) The physical properties and engineering indexes for each soil type;
(2) Soil limitations for utilities, building and site development, and water features
for each soil type;
(3) Hydric soils report for each soil type. If hydric soils are present, the developer
must provide a wetlands investigation by a certified consultant, per division 38.610;
and
(4) The developer must provide any special design methods planned to overcome
the above limitations.
e. Cuts and fills. Describe the location and amount of any cut or fill three or more feet in
depth. These cuts and fills should be indicated on a plat overlay or sketch map. Where cuts
or fills are necessary, describe any plans to prevent erosion and to promote revegetation
such as replacement of topsoil and grading.

Appendix 12.
b. Protective measures. Describe measures to preserve trees and critical plant communities
(e.g., design and location of streets, lots and open spaces).
Response: This information is described in the Existing Vegetation Map attached as
Appendix 12.
c. Noxious weed management and revegetation plan. Noxious weeds must be controlled in
all developments as directed by the county weed control district (district) in accordance
with the Montana County Noxious Weed Control Act (MCA 7-22-21). The developer must
have any noxious weeds identified and their location mapped by a person with experience
in weed management and knowledgeable in weed identification. A noxious weed
management and revegetation plan approved by the district for control of noxious weeds
must be submitted with the preliminary plat application. This plan must ensure the control
of noxious weeds upon preliminary plat approval and the revegetation of any land disturbed
during the construction of subdivision improvements.
