WARNING FLOWCHARTS A. Failure is Imminent or Has Occurred. Failure caused by terrorism, sabotage, major earthquake, etc. B. Potentially Hazardous Situation is Developing. A situation where a failure may develop, but preplanned actions taken during certain events (major flood, earthquake, evidence of piping, etc.) may prevent or mitigate failure. Time permits a qualified engineer to inspect the dam and assess the potentially hazardous situation. C. Non-Failure Flooding. A situation where waterways are at or near flood stage and PPLM operationally does something that may aggravate downstream flooding. (This situation will NOT activate the EAP.)

  • 2003 Actual Operations
    INTRODUCTION Annual reports on actual operations and operating plans for reservoir regulation activities were initiated in 1953. The Montana Are Office, Wyoming Area Office, Dakota Area Office and the Regional Office are all responsible for preparing reports on actual operations and operating plans for reservoir within the Upper Missouri River Basin above Sioux City, Iowa. This report briefly summarizes weather and strearnflow conditions in the Upper Missouri river Basin during water year 2003, which are principal factors governing the pattern of reservoir operations. This report also describes operations during water year 2003 for reservoirs constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) for providing flood control and water supplies for power generation, irrigation, municipal and industrial uses, and to enhance recreation, fish, and wildlife benefits. This report includes operating plans to show estimated ranges of operation for water 2004, with a graphical presentation on a monthly basis. The operating plans for the reservoirs are presented only to show possible operations under a wide range of inflows, most of which cannot be reliably forecasted at the time operating plans are prepared; therefore, plans are at best only probabilities. The plans are updated monthly, as the season progresses, to better coordinate the actual water and power requirements with more reliable estimates of inflow. A report devoted to "Energy Generation" is included at the end of this report. The energy generation and water used for power at Reclamation and Corps of Engineers' (Corps) plants are discusses, and the energy generated in 2003 is compared graphically with that of previous years. Energy produced at the Reclamation and Corps mainstem plants is marketed by the Department of Energy.

The projects are spread over 324 river-miles on the Missouri and Madison rivers. The Hebgen and Madison developments are located on the Madison River whereas the other seven- Hauser, Holter, Black Eagle, Rainbow, Cochrane, Ryan, and Morony- are located on the Missouri River. The Madison River flows into the Missouri River near the city of Three Forks, approximately 33 miles northwest of Bozeman. While this summary was being prepared, Northwestern Energy, a company based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and serving the Upper Midwest and Northwest, is in the process of acquiring this project.

    MONTANA FISHING REGULATIONS 20March 1, 2018 — F1ebruary 828, 2019 Fly fishing the Missouri River. Photo by Jason Savage For details on how to use these regulations, see page 2 fwp.mt.gov/fishing With your help, we can reduce poaching. MAKE THE CALL: 1-800-TIP-MONT FISH IDENTIFICATION KEY If you don’t know, let it go! CUTTHROAT TROUT are frequently mistaken for Rainbow Trout (see pictures below): 1. Turn the fish over and look under the jaw. Does it have a red or orange stripe? If yes—the fish is a Cutthroat Trout. Carefully release all Cutthroat Trout that cannot be legally harvested (see page 10, releasing fish). BULL TROUT are frequently mistaken for Brook Trout, Lake Trout or Brown Trout (see below): 1. Look for white edges on the front of the lower fins. If yes—it may be a Bull Trout. 2. Check the shape of the tail. Bull Trout have only a slightly forked tail compared to the lake trout’s deeply forked tail. 3. Is the dorsal (top) fin a clear olive color with no black spots or dark wavy lines? If yes—the fish is a Bull Trout. Carefully release Bull Trout (see page 10, releasing fish). MONTANA LAW REQUIRES: n All Bull Trout must be released immediately in Montana unless authorized. See Western District regulations. n Cutthroat Trout must be released immediately in many Montana waters. Check the district standard regulations and exceptions to know where you can harvest Cutthroat Trout. NATIVE FISH Westslope Cutthroat Trout Species of Concern small irregularly shaped black spots, sparse on belly Average Size: 6”–12” cutthroat slash— spots

Under Section 6 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (Public Law 78-534), the Secretary of the Army is authorized to make agreements with states, municipalities, private concerns, or individuals for surplus water that may be available at any reservoir under the control of the Department. Terms of the agreements are normally for five (5) years, with an option for a five (5) year extension, subject to recalculation of reimbursement after the initial five (5) year period. This proposed action will allow the Omaha District to enter into surplus water agreements with interested water purveyors and to issue easements for up to the total amount of surplus water to meet regional water needs.

It was the hottest and driest July and August that most can remember and a terrible wildfire season for the entire state of Montana. Thankfully none of the fires affected our valley. There continues to be a lot of activity in the real estate market in the area with several lots and a couple of homes sold this summer. I want to extend a special welcome to all our new owners. There was also quite a bit of building activity going on which led to the decision not to do a fall grading of the roads since there was so much construction traffic. The roads are in a little rougher shape than normal for the end of the year but will be addressed early in the spring. The roads will also continue to be maintained with the addition of road base. A half-mile of road base was added this year starting at the main gate and continuing down Flat Iron Trail.

  • West Fork Madison and Jack Creek Temperature Conditions
    APPENDIX H – TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS FOR LOWER MADISON RIVER AND WEST FORK MADISON RIVER TABLE OF CONTENTS H1.0 Introduction ...................................................................................................................................... H-2 H2.0 Madison River (Madison Dam to Mouth) Temperature Conditions ................................................ H-2 H3.0 West Fork Madison River Temperature Conditions ......................................................................... H-4 H4.0 References ........................................................................................................................................ H-7 Madison Sediment and Temperature TMDLs - Appendix H H1.0 INTRODUCTION Cherry Creek, Elk Creek, and Moore Creek were found to be temperature impaired through the Madison TMDL Planning Area temperature study, and TMDLs were written for those streams, details of which can be found in Section 6.0 of the main TMDL document. Jack Creek was not identified prior to this study as having a temperature impairment but was evaluated based on field reconnaissance and stakeholder concern. Data collected during this effort indicates Jack Creek is not impaired for temperature and no TMDL was written and a summary of the Jack Creek data is not included in this appendix. This appendix details stream conditions in the Madison River below Madison Dam (Assessment Unit MT41F001_010) and the West Fork Madison River (Assessment Unit MT41F004_100), both of which currently remain listed for temperature impairment in Montana’s 2018 Water Quality Integrated Report (DEQ, 2018). H2.0 MADISON RIVER (MADISON DAM TO MOUTH) TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS The Madison River downstream of Ennis Lake (Madison Dam), also referred to as the lower Madison River, has a hydrologic regime that is modified by the presence of two major reservoirs, Hebgen Lake and Ennis Lake (Madison Reservoir). The Madison River flows from its headwaters in Yellowstone National Park into Hebgen Lake, which is located just outside of the Yellowstone National Park boundary.
