Page Gulch decision notice

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) proposed transferring nonhybridized westslope cutthroat trout to the fishless headwaters of Beaver Creek from Page Gulch in the Upper Missouri River subbasin.

However, based on substantive public comment and information related to water quality issues gained through the public participation process, FWP determined the proposed action does not constitute a reasonable and appropriate strategy to achieve the identified objectives.

FWP hereby adopts the Draft EA as final and approves Alternative 1, the no action alternative. FWP will continue to pursue the translocation of the at-risk Page Gulch WCT population elsewhere once suitable habitat is identified.
