Its muted waters were undergoing increasing pressure and it needed I better understanding. After all, the lake provides a beautiful backdrop to our community while being a major economic driver. WLI’s role is to define the underpinnings of this lake-based ecosystem and to develop methods we can employ to manage and care for it. Through the years, WLI and project partnershave amassed a solid baseline awareness of the water quality and food web that shape the lake and local streams. In 2015, we compiled that information in one narrative—the Whitefish Area Water Resources Report: A Status of the Whitefish Lake Watershed and Surrounding area. This report and all its supporting re- sources are available at www.whitefishlake.org. Photo courtesy Whitefish Lake Institute In the report, the lake’s voice becomes clearer, revealing a unique record of trends and patterns – the result of natural forces and human actions that operate at time scales ranging from minutes to decades.

  • Appendix 23 Baseline Conditions for Bull Trout (Salvelinus Confluentus)
    See also: Appendix 24 Baseline Conditions for Bull Trout, South Fork of the Flathead Appendix 25 Baseline Conditions for Bull Trout, Stillwater Drainage Appendix 23 Baseline Conditions for Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus), North and Middle Forks of the Flathead Drainage Excerpt from the Biological Assessment for Bull Trout Habitat Condition at Sub-basin Scale Environmental baseline conditions of watersheds that have bull trout populations will be discussed at the 5th and 6th level HUC. Habitat monitoring using McNeil core samples and substrate scores suggest that spawning and rearing habitat is as good as during any time since measurements were first taken in the early 1980's (Table 4). Improvements are primarily a result of good water years when runoff brakes up the armoring layer and reduces sediments. Sediment levels were the highest during the drought years of the late 1980's. Habitat conditions historically would have been in optimal condition. Natural erosional processes have occurred in these drainages which created pulse disturbances that fish evolved with. An assumption is made that if catastrophic events occurred in one drainage that bull trout from an adjacent drainage would re-colonize or "refound" that drainage where bull trout where lost. (Rieman et al. 1993). It is important to recognize that the headwaters of these sub-basins are primarily protected in Glacier National Park, wilderness, and roadless areas. Wilderness and roadless areas are important components in maintaining fisheries populations due to minimizing influences from forest management (USDA 1997). Baseline Environmental Conditions The format below follows A Framework to Assist in Making Endangered Species Act Determinations of Effect for Individual or Grouped Actions at the Bull Trout Subpopulation Watershed Scale (1998).

Background In 2007, the City of Whitefish adopted a Growth Policy with the following description of a corridor plan for Wisconsin Avenue. “This plan must address the mix of uses and the transition to residential both east and west of the roadway. It must also address connections to the adjacent residential neighborhoods, orientation and connections to the new bike route, scale issues, landscaping/screening, and circulation/access.” Wisconsin Avenue is the primary link between downtown and two major recreational destinations -- Whitefish Lake and Whitefish Mountain Resort.
