The attached Decision Notice has been prepared for a proposed project that would remove nonnative brook trout from Green Hollow Creek to benefit an Arctic grayling brood population. The removal of brook trout would serve to reduce the likelihood of disease transfer from brook trout, which are carriers of several common fish diseases, to an Arctic grayling brood stock located within the drainage. It would also reduce competition between brook trout and Arctic grayling for space and food resources. FWP is proposing to removal nonnative brook trout from the stream using electrofishing and trapping methods. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks did not receive any public comments during a 30 day comment period ending January 21, 2008. It is my decision to proceed with the proposed projects, with no changes to the Draft Environmental Assessments. Questions regarding this Decision Notice should be mailed to: Jim Magee Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks 730 N. Montana Street Dillon, MT 59725 Or e-mailed to: mageejames@mt.gov Thank you for your interest.
