Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP), Region One, is seeking public comment for the West Kootenai Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Fire Salvage Project Draft Environmental Assessment. FWP proposes to conduct a timber salvage project on 506 acres of the West Kootenai WMA. The proposed project would include the use of mechanized timber harvest to remove merchantable fire-killed timber, as well as associated road maintenance work and reclamation activities. The WMA is located near the community of West Kootenai and about 6.5 miles north of Rexford, Montana, in Lincoln County (T37N, R28W, S3, 4, & 10).
The draft is out for a 14-day public review through 5:00 p.m., November 8, 2017. Copies of the draft EA 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 at fwp.mt.gov/news/publicNotices/environmentalAssessments/restorationAndRehab; and available for viewing at local libraries.
