Aircraft X called for an IFR release off of LMO airport. The facility has advised us that we must issue the ODP (Obstacle Departure Procedure) and an altitude to maintain. The ODP contains a crossing restriction and we still issue an altitude to maintain even though 7110.65 4-3-2 says that ATC cannot. Chapter 5 in the 7110.65 also states that once ATC amends an altitude on an ODP that has a crossing restriction then the ODP is cancelled. This is just one incident on a long list of many others where an aircraft didn't fly the ODP even though the pilot read the ODP verbatim to me on data before he departed. The pilot flew into a higher MVA immediately after departure and this happens on a pretty routine basis. I recommend that the ODPs be changed off of EIK and LMO to not include crossing restriction altitudes. I feel like this would take away some ambiguity from the pilots so that they only have to worry about a lateral ODP and stick with the altitude that is issued by the controller. Just because local SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) states that a controller can do one thing does not mean that pilots know or understand our local procedures.
ATC Trainee reported an aircraft did not comply with the departure procedure and flew below the Minimum Vectoring Altitude.
