The lure

Community! Write to defend Flathead Lake before April 30 to Montana DEQ and County Commissioners about the installation and location of our new sewage facility designed for the whole county's waste dump, apparently.
Our celestial Flathead Lake classified as an ocean is right under our noses dancing with the moon defenseless, waiting for all of us who cast our eyes on it to reflex in her favor.
While we are appreciatively trying to decide whether to repair last years' gear with duct tape or glue gun, maybe the “too big for their britches groups" are trying to hook, line and sinker our Flathead Lake for prestige taking... disregarding local homage; a reverence instilled in generational Montanan wisdom.
Ask for a 60-day extension of public comments to slow this whole thing down, respectfully in honor of Flathead Lake and all who came before us and next generations ahead. Assert the sewage facility location be moved away from the lake.
Ask about what appears to be Angel Point flash housing event, airplanes landing by the lake in private and with what oversight? Hopefully not crashing in Flathead Lake or the surrounding forested areas. What's the rescue plan for sewage & toxic plane disasters, upkeep continually needed to maintain high grade functions & population increase, construction silt... demand gated HOA prepaid yearly dues emergency fund put aside in a County account that honors cleanliness of the lake for emergencies that most likely will occur! Thinking caps everyone.
