SIGN THE PETITION

On March 3, 2020 the City of Great Falls unanimously approved a resolution asking Governor Bullock to order a coordinated "Environmental Impact Study" (EIS) of the impacts likely to arise from the proposed Madison Food Park Slaughterhouse.
The City of Great Falls' Resolution notes, among other things, that the proposed Madison Food Park (MFP) Slaughterhouse is an industrial-scale facility unlike anything previously seen in Montana and is likely to incite significant direct, indirect, and cumulative effects on the region, including but not limited to:
​
  • Huge estimated consumptive water use of 3.5 millions gallons daily from the local aquifer
  • Huge new infrastructure burdens with an estimated industrial truck traffic volume of 165 incoming and 32 outbound per week
  • Huge weekly animal processing volume of 1,800 head of cattle, 9,200 hogs, and 135,000 chickens
  • Greater than 100,000 lbs of solid waste and thousands of gallons of wastewater created daily
  • Huge new population influx with an estimated 3,000 new workers (plus families) in the larger Great Falls region
  • Documented scientific studies have shown comparable U.S. slaughterhouse towns often experience negative human health, environmental pollution, economic and social impacts

​For these and other similar reasons City decisionmakers seek Governor Bullock and expert state agencies' assistance in qualifying and quantifying the likely effects of the MFP Slaughterhouse Proposal before any commitments or authorizations are made allowing the Project to move forward - - a "Look Before You Leap" proposition.

Please contact Governor Bullock and let him know you support the City of Great Falls' request for a common-sense impact study of the proposed Madison Food Park Slaughterhouse by signing the petition below!

Let Governor Bullock know you are concerned by the scale, significance, and many unanswered questions posed by the MFP Slaughterhouse and request our State support the City of Great Falls in protecting our communities, our landscapes and waterways, and the unique Montana values we all hold dear.
