This proposed project would continue to allow for supplemental water to be diverted into the lake and, at the same time, provide for an improved water balance between the lake and the stream. The intent of the project is to benefit westslope cutthroat trout and bull trout in Snowbank Creek. The project site is on the Helena National Forest located approximately 8 miles northeast of the town of Lincoln in Lewis and Clark County.
