FWP SEEKS COMMENT ON EA FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO GLEN FISHING ACCESS SITE ON BIG HOLE RIVER

 BOZEMAN— Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks seeks public comment on a draft environmental assessment for proposed improvements to the Glen Fishing Access Site on the Big Hole River 19 miles north of Dillon.

 The installation of a new concrete bridge on Burma Road over the Big Hole River resulted in difficulty accessing the existing boat ramp. The proposed project would relocate the boat ramp and access road farther downstream for easier access, and to mitigate erosion and better define roads and parking. The new boat ramp would be single-wide and concrete with a gravel cul-de-sac. Six new campsites would be added, one at the reclaimed existing boat ramp access road and five at other locations within the site. New prefabricated fire rings and picnic tables would be placed at existing primitive campsites. Barrier rocks would be placed to delineate roadways and parking.

 The draft environmental assessment is available in Bozeman at the FWP regional office (1400 S. 19th Ave.), FWP’s Headquarters in Helena (1420 E. 6th Ave.), or on FWP’s website at fwp.mt.gov under Recent Public Notices.

 Comments on the Glen Fishing Access Site environmental assessment will be accepted until 5 p.m. on March 22, 2010, and should be mailed or emailed to:
