Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ (FWP) Future Fisheries Improvement Program has prepared an environmental assessments (EA) for the proposed FFI-021-2014 Saurkraut Creek Phase-II project tentatively approved by its Citizens Review Panel on June 19, 2014. This project would promote and restore habitat in Sauerkraut Creek, a stream severely impacted by historical placer mining operations. The intent of the project is to promote and restore aquatic habitat for salmonids, primarily westslope cutthroat trout and bull trout. Sauerkraut Creek is a tributary to the Blackfoot River located about 5 miles southwest of the town of Lincoln in Lewis and Clark County. Funding for this project is contingent upon a favorable decision with respect to the EA, and upon approval being granted by the Fish and Wildlife Commission. Comments are due by 5:00 pm August 18, 2014. Double click the title line to view the EA and/or submit comments.

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ (FWP) Future Fisheries Improvement Program has prepared an environmental assessments (EA) for the proposed FFI-017-2014 North Fork Blackfoot River project tentatively approved by its Citizens Review Panel on June 19, 2014. This project would upgrade an existing irrigation system to conserve an estimated 16 cubic feet per second (cfs) of streamflow through a dewatered section of the North Fork Blackfoot River. The intent of the project is to improve native trout stream habitat by enhancing instream flows during summer and fall months. The North Fork Blackfoot River is a tributary to the Blackfoot River located about 5 miles east of the town of Ovando in Powell County. Funding for this project is contingent upon a favorable decision with respect to the EA, and upon approval being granted by the Fish and Wildlife Commission.
