FWP Proposes Renewing Management Agreement For Intake Fishing Access Site

Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks is proposing to renew a Management Agreement with the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation at Intake Fishing Access Site (FAS) in Dawson County, Montana. The agreement is for the management and operations of Intake Fishing Access Site (FAS). The Intake FAS operated on a 50-year agreement and historically included two parcels: (1) The ‘Intake Area’ north of the river and (2) ‘Joe’s Island’, south of the river. The proposed new Management Agreement would be for 50 years and include the Intake Area. Joe’s Island would not be included and would revert to Bureau of Reclamation management.

A draft Environmental Assessment Checklist has been prepared and is available for comment. It can be viewed on the FWP website at https://fwp.mt.gov/news/public-notices or is available upon request from the FWP Region 7 office, 406-234-0900. Public comment is welcome and will be accepted until 5 p.m. MST on Aug. 7, 2024. Written comments can be mailed or e-mailed to the address below:

Makoshika State Park, Intake FAS Management Agreement, PO Box 1242, Glendive, MT 59330, [email protected].
