Bitterrooters for Planning, Inc. v. Montana Department of Environmental Quality

The Supreme Court of the State of Montana reversed the District Court's summary judgment that Montana Department of Environmental Quality violated the Montana Environmental Policy Act because it did not consider the environmental impacts of the construction and operation of the facility other than water quality. The Court affirmed the District Court's summary judgment that the Department of Environmental Quality must identify and disclose the actual contemplated owner or operator of the retail store facility whose wasterwater discharge permitting was issued by the Department.
