Kleinham's Discovery Part 2 - Flathead County, Montana

All artificial water systems such as canals, ditches, aqueducts,
reservoirs, irrigation or drainage systems.
ll. Describe all surface waters which may affect or be affected by the
proposed subdivision including nzrmr, approximate size, present use, and
time of year when water is present and proximity of proposed construction
(e.g- buildings, sewer systems, roads) to surface waters.
Flathead. Lake is located south of the proposed spbdivision and is
separated bv the Federal water Fowl Production Area. (see Fieure 1).
RLK Hydo prepared a HydroeeoloFcal Analysis for the proposed
subdivision. The Analvsis studied both the shallow and deep w,ater
acquires. The analysiq used a number of test wglls on the site to determine
the existing qualitv. quantity. and direction of flow of the proundwater.
The shallow aquifer flows r+ a north and easterly direction (see Figure 5
of the llydroeeological Analysis). The An4ysis also determines that there
is no connection between qround water fluctuations and tbe elevation of
Flathead Lake. For example when the groundwater is dropping in late
sprine and early summer. the Lake level is bging elevated to f,rll pool for
hydroelectric generation and recreation.
