Operative Text
(1) Whenever operation of a work camp is permanently discontinued, all septic tanks, privy vaults, and cisterns must be removed or emptied and subsequently filled with solid materials.
Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.1228 addresses the closure requirements for work camps in Montana. When a work camp permanently ceases operations, the rule requires that all on-site septic tanks, privy vaults, and cisterns be either removed or emptied and then filled with solid materials. This provision is designed to prevent public health and environmental hazards that could arise from abandoned waste-handling infrastructure.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and property owners who manage work camps subject to Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.1228 are generally expected to plan for proper decommissioning of all septic tanks, privy vaults, and cisterns before permanently closing a camp. Compliant operators typically arrange for licensed contractors to remove or empty these structures and ensure they are filled with solid materials upon closure. Maintaining documentation of this decommissioning work is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating compliance with this provision.
