Public invited to plan proposed commodities building

PABLO — The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and the Department of Human Resource Development is starting the environmental review process for a proposed new commodities building near the Tribal bus barn south of Mission Valley Power. The Proposal area is located in Pablo, (T 21 N/R 20 W/Sec 11).

The proposal area has been previously disturbed, and is located on flat ground. It is located well away from wetlands, riparian areas, or any floodplain. Sewage and water would be from existing facilities. Work would tentatively begin during spring 2009, and be completed by fall 2010.

The proposal would be reviewed according to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The public is invited to participate in planning. Please provide comments by February 26. The mailing address is: NEPA Program, PO Box 278, Pablo, MT 59855.
