Lower Clark Fork Watershed Group staff received final edits from Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for the Lower Clark Fork Tributary Watershed Restoration Plan in early October 2019 and used these comments and edits, along with a few minor comments and edits received from local stakeholders, to finalize the watershed restoration plan. This final copy of the watershed restoration Plan was resubmitted to DEQ and was officially accepted on October 15th, 2019. You can find a copy of the accepted WRP on DEQ’s Watershed Restoration Plan website at http://deq.mt.gov/Water/SurfaceWater/WatershedRestoration or you can find a copy of the WRP for download here.

Thank you to all of the landowners, watershed users, land managers, and stakeholders who contributed to the development of this plan over the last few years! We look forward to implementing the projects planned through this document.
