February Topic Discussion Meeting

Upper Clark Fork River Aquatic and Terrestrial Resources Restoration Plans

Doug Martin, Restoration Program Chief for the Montana Natural Resource Damage Program (NRDP), will present information on the 2023 public solicitation for restoration projects for the Upper Clark Fork River Aquatic and Terrestrial Resources Restoration Plans (Restoration Plans).  In 2023, the NRDP is required to revise and update the Restoration Plans.  This revision requires the solicitation of restoration project proposals from the public to potentially include in the revised plans.

In 2012 it was understood that not all aquatic or terrestrial restoration actions within the UCFRB would be known at the time of the Restoration Plans’ development.  As such it is required that the Restoration Plans be reviewed, updated, and revised.  As part of this revision process, NRDP is requesting restoration project proposals, from the public, to be potentially included in the revised restoration plans.  Doug will discuss the public solicitation process, types of projects, guidance documents, and how to participate.
