FWP makes decision to proceed with Dunn Creek Bank Stabilization Project
To reduce bank erosion and limit instream sediment
July 12, 2016
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP), Region One, has completed an environmental assessment (EA) for the Dunn Creek Bank Stabilization Project for the purpose of reducing bank erosion and limiting instream sediment from the single largest eroding bank within the Dunn Creek watershed, and increasing habitat diversity for resident trout in Dunn Creek. The project is located on Dunn Creek, approximately 15 miles northeast of the city of Libby, Montana.

The draft was out for a 30-day public review through July 9, 2016, with no comment received. Due to the urgent need to reduce sediment in Dunn Creek, it is recommended that the proposed project be implemented as soon as possible. No changes were made to the draft EA; therefore, the draft will become the final document. Copies of the decision notice are available at the FWP office, 490 N. Meridian Rd., Kalispell; Montana State Library, 1515 E 6th Ave., Helena; FWP State Headquarters, 1420 E 6th Ave., Helena; the FWP website and available for viewing at local libraries.
