Montana Tech of The University of Montana proposes to install a ground source heat pump which will service the newly constructed Natural Resources Building. However this project is still developing their feasibility study and has yet to select neither a ground source heat pump system nor a site for the installation. Therefore the Department of Energy (DOE or Department) will issue a determination for Phase 1 of the project. Phase 2; Task 2 and 3 will require further National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review directly following site selection and conceptual system design. DOE will require all information collected during Phase 1 and Phase 2 Task 1 to be submitted to the Department for further NEPA review before project implementation can occur.
