Aaker Phase 1 Subdivision
MDEQ Exemption Request
To: City of Bozeman Planning and Engineering Department
From: Cordell D. Pool, PE, Stahly Engineering and Associates
Date: October 26, 2022
The Aaker Phase 1 Subdivision is requesting exemption from Montana Department of
Environmental Quality (MDEQ) review of the subdivision. Because Bozeman is a first-class
municipality with an approved growth policy, this exemption complies with Montana Code
Annotated (MCA) 76-4-125(1)(d). As such, the Aaker Phase 1 Subdivision is excluded from the
requirement for Montana Department of Environmental Quality review.
With this process the City will review water, sewer, storm drainage and solid waste capacities for
conformance with the Sanitation in Subdivisions Act. Both the City and MDEQ will review water
and sewer main plans and specifications. Only the City will review street and stormwater plans
and specifications. The City will be responsible for signing a Municipal Facilities Exclusion to be
provided to MDEQ for their exclusion review. The City will also be responsible for signing the
Certificate of Exclusion from MDEQ Review certificate on the Final Plat.
The proposed subdivision infrastructure is shown on Civil Plan sets included with the Aaker
Phase 1 Preliminary Plat Application. Preliminary Engineering Reports for water, sewer, storm
drainage, and streets are also provided with the Aaker Phase 1 Preliminary Plat Application.
Final subdivision infrastructure Engineering Reports, Plans and Specifications will be provided for
City review and approval prior to Final Plat. Final water and sewer Engineering Reports, Plans,
and Specifications will be provided to MDEQ for review and approval prior to Final Plat.
