Montana Water Use Act

Controlled Groundwater Areas
Montana has closed some of its river basins and groundwater aquifers to certain types of water appropriations because of water availability problems, water contamination problems, and a concern for protecting existing water rights.

The Powder River Basin Controlled Groundwater Area applies to wells designed and installed for the extraction of coal bed methane. CBM development must follow the standards for drilling, completing, testing, and production of CBM wells as adopted by the BOGC (see below); CBM operators must offer water mitigation agreements to owners of water or natural springs within one-half mile of a CBM operation or within the area that the operator reasonably believes may be impacted by the CBM operation, whichever is greater. This area will automatically be extended one-half mile beyond any well adversely affected; and DNRC will designate a Technical Advisory Committee to oversee groundwater characteristics and monitoring, and reporting requirements. For specific information on the Powder River Basin Controlled Groundwater Area, consult the Final Order.
In addition to the forms required by the BOGC (see below), a Montana Well Log Report, DNRC Form 603 (click on Forms) must be completed for both production and monitoring wells when the wells are drilled and sent to DNRC within 60 days of the well completion.

Water Rights
Beneficial uses of water from CBM operations, such as for stock ponds, wildlife ponds, or irrigation requires a water right issued by DNRC as provided by law.
