LITTLE BOULDER RESTORATION ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Apr 3, 2023 8:06 AM
Fisheries Division
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks released an Environmental Assessment for a project on the Little Boulder River, located near Boulder (Jefferson County). The Future Fisheries Improvement Program would provide funding to a project that would address past land use activities that altered the stream, leading to highly eroded areas, degraded fish habitat, and disconnection from the floodplain. The proposed project intends to improve fish passage, reconnect the stream to its floodplain, and enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The Little Boulder River is a tributary to the Boulder River that supports populations of brown trout and rainbow trout. Westslope cutthroat trout also inhabit the stream but are located upstream, separated from downstream waters by a fish barrier.
