Lake Elmo Asian clam removal

Oct 16, 2020 12:00 AM

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has recommended that it drain Lake Elmo in Billings Heights next year to eradicate invasive Asian clams found there in 2019.

Department fisheries biologists and managers issued a draft environmental assessment on plans to address the invasive clams. The document also lists plans to improve fish habitat and add state park amenities while the lake is dry. People are encouraged to comment on the draft environmental assessment and its recommendations by Nov. 18, 2020.
