TEAKETTLE FAS LATRINE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

FWP is proposing to replace and relocate the latrine at Teakettle Fishing Access Site (FAS) near Columbia Falls on the Flathead River. The popular 3-acre site provides recreational access to the Flathead River for floating, hunting and other water-based recreation. The existing latrine has a leaky roof and no exterior pump out access hatch. The older design does not provide adequate airflow to reduce unpleasant scents. To comply with updated sanitation regulations, the new latrine would need to be installed in a new location further from the Flathead River. The area currently occupied by the old latrine would be available for picnicking and staging for float parties waiting for their shuttle vehicle. The project would occur during the summer or fall of 2023 depending on material and contractor availability. The project is expected to cost approximately $25,000.00.
