Mark Terry Private Pond License Application Draft EA

Mark Terry has applied for a private fish pond license renewal for a pond located in Petty Creek near Alberton, MT. The applicant is seeking to continue to be licensed to plant westslope cutthroat trout and sterile rainbow trout into the pond for personal use and enjoyment. The pond is self-contained.

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks administers private fish pond licensing. Regulations are intended to allow the stocking of private fish ponds while ensuring that public resources are not adversely affected by unwanted fish or fish diseases, that nuisance aquatic species are not planted into ponds where they can escape or be introduced into state waters, and that habitat of wild fish is not harmed.

This draft checklist environmental assessment summarizes physical, environmental, and social considerations related to the issuance of a private pond license.
