The Local Water Quality District in Gallatin County, Montana recognized that there is no readily accessible and comprehensive database for septic system review. In response to this need, several comprehensive spatial data bases were developed. These data bases should be useful from a variety of perspectives.

Help the Local Water Quality District better understand water quality issues in the District
Help Gallatin County Department of Environmental Health put applications into perspective
Help property owners and developers better understand and plan for septic system limitations
Help the Gallatin County Planning Office better plan for growth and development
Help reveal what types of data need most intensive review and on-site measurement
Help the public to place proposed projects in appropriate context
