  • Missouri River
    Welcome Message from Eileen Ryce Montana's Fish Chief After another long winter in Montana, it is time to get excited about spring. With spring comes new growth and, of course, a new fishing season. These regulation booklets get stuffed into tackle boxes, fly vests, glove boxes and backpacks all around Montana. They not only tell you how to fish legally - they also outline the great fishing opportunities all around the state. From high mountain lakes and reservoirs to large rivers and small streams, there is something for everyone. This year’s regulations have a slightly different layout. I hope you find it easier to use. For the second year in a row, we ran a photo competition for the front cover, and I hope you agree this year’s front cover model shows the joy that anyone can experience by getting out and fishing. For the back cover, we ran a competition for the best kids’ fish drawing. Briah Ard did a fantastic drawing of a Brook Stickleback. It’s great to see youth getting excited about fish. Keep your eye out for the 2020 Fishing Newsletter. As usual, it will be packed with lots of great information from our staff from around the state. Stop into one of the FWP offices to pick up your copy or visit http://fwp.mt.gov/fish/. I hope you have a great fishing season, and if you get the chance, take a kid fishing!

In order to prevent or mitigate exposures, a consultation may lead to specific actions, such as restricting use of or replacing water supplies; intensifying environmental sampling; restricting site access; or removing the contaminated material. In addition, consultations may recommend additional public health actions, such as conducting health surveillance activities to evaluate exposure or trends in adverse health outcomes; conducting biological indicators of exposure studies to assess exposure; and providing health education for health care providers and community members. This concludes the health consultation process for this site, unless additional information is obtained by ATSDR or ATSDR’s Cooperative Agreement Partner which, in the Agency’s opinion, indicates a need to revise or append the conclusions previously issued.

  • 2010 PRC Req. & Patch
    GREAT FALLS PORTAGE COMMORATIVE AWARD PATCH PORTAGE ROUTE CHAPTER LEWIS AND CLARK TRAIL HERITAGE FOUNDATION, INC. “The mission of the LCTHF is: As Keepers of the Story – Stewards of the Trail, the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation, Inc. provides national leadership in maintaining the integrity of the Trail and its story through stewardship, scholarship, education, partnership and cultural inclusiveness.” The Portage Route Chapter supports this mission in the area of the Missouri River in and around Great Falls, Montana. A Memorandum of Understanding between the Boy Scouts of America and the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation was signed on August 6, 2007. The purpose of this memorandum was to establish a general framework for cooperation between the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation, Inc., and the Boy Scouts of America. Through this MOU the Foundation and BSA will collaborate on projects and programs that interpret the stories of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and provide stewardship of the Lewis and Clark national Historic Trail. The Lewis and Clark Trail also is an auto route with distinctive road signs that follows the water route taken by the Corps of Discovery, mostly along the Missouri River. In Montana, the Portage Route follows the trail of the expedition from the area of Lower Portage Camp westward to the White Bear Islands and Upper Portage Camp. The Portage Route Chapter wants to inspire the Boy Scouts to learn more about the Lewis and Clark Expedition by offering an embroidered patch. By way of an agreement with the Montana Council, BSA, this patch can be earned by Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, Explorers and Venture Scouts.
