  • Cabinet-Purcell Wildlife Linkage Initiative
    The Vital Ground Foundation T-2 Fort Missoula Rd. Missoula, MT, 59804 Phone: 406-549-8650 Fax: 406-549-8787 E-Mail: [email protected] Web: www.vitalground.org WILDLIFE CABINET- LINKAGE November 2010 PURCELL INITIATIVE The Vital Ground Foundation page 2 Project Description for Phase II Vital Ground is currently fundraising to secure its first two land acquisitions within grizzly bear/wildlife linkage zones in northwestern Montana via the Cabinet-Purcell Wildlife Linkage Initiative. The projects were identified by the Private Lands Working Group, an international team of NGOs, wildlife agencies, and wildlife biologists. In the U.S. these are Vital Ground, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MTFWP); in Canada these are Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) and the Trans-border Grizzly Bear Project. Of the land acquisition priorities the Private Lands Working Group has set in the Cabinet-Purcell Linkage Zone priority area, two properties rank highest due to: 1) their current availability on the open real estate market; and 2) their ripeness for development if sold to non-conservation buyers and the subsequent threat of linkage disruption and wildlife displacement. The first property is located in the northern tier of the USFWS Cabinet-Yaak Grizzly Bear Recovery Zone along U.S. Hwy. 2, less than one mile southeast of the Yaak River-Kootenai River confluence. The second property is located just south of the Recovery Zone near Montana Hwy. 200, 2.5 miles northwest of the Bull River-Clark Fork River confluence. Both properties adjoin Kaniksu National Forest lands.

  • Impacts from Oil Exploration and Production: Summary of MDT's Efforts
    State Highway System: Eastern Montana Impacts from Oil Exploration & Production: Summary of MDT’s Efforts Executive Summary In the past 5 years there have been increasing oil and natural gas extraction activities in eastern Montana. This oil-related activity has resulted in more commercial vehicle traffic and has accelerated infrastructure deterioration road network that MDT maintains. To better understand and respond to the impacts of oil exploration in eastern Montana, MDT has conducted seven distinct studies—two corridor studies, one safety audit, three traffic estimations studies and one pavement analysis. Based on these analyses, the estimated transportation impacts attributable to energy extraction activities are: $52 million dollars per year for twenty years to address pavement needs. On some oil region highways, AADT will almost double in the next 15 years. While commercial vehicle traffic trends were nearly flat historically, increases of 130% in oil region counties since 2007 are noted. This growth is projected to continue in the next 15 years. Population may increase by 30,000 in MDT’s Glendive District by 2035, with most of the growth in the northeast portion of the district.1 20 ±10 oil drilling rigs are estimated to be active in the region over the next 15 years. To date, MDT has made the following improvements and adjustments in designs and policies to meet the evolving needs in the region. MDT had expended $5.2 million in project change orders to specifically increase the base depth and to increase asphalt thickness on projects let to contract. MDT has added passing lanes, increased shoulder widths and added centerline rumble strips on Montana Highway 16 north of Glendive.

  • Trains & Rails
    Trains & Rails: The Sanders County Story The communities along Montana Highway 200 in Sanders County exist, or used to exist, in part because of the Railroad that winds through the valley. Visitors can see up to 20 trains (or more) a day going both directions. Surviving Railway Stations in Sanders County, MT Dixon: The passenger station originally built by the Northern Pacific Railway here still stands, owned by Montana Rail Link. Paradise: The passenger station originally built by the NP here still stands. Plains: The passenger station originally built by the NP here still stands. Thompson Falls: The passenger station originally built by the NP here still stands, owned by Montana Rail Link. Tidbits on How the Train Helped Build the Communities in Sanders County: Paradise was originally a station for the Northern Pacific Railroad. Today dozens of rail cars are stored along the multiple tracks. It was a booming town when Northern Pacific used the facilities as a main stop with hotels, bars and restaurants. Plains is home to the first built train depot in what was then Missoula county was built at Horse Plains. Weeksville was a railroad construction camp starting with 50-75 employees in late 1881 to as many as 2,000 at the beginning of January 1883 from some sources, yet others claim 4,000 Chinese and 2,000 white men headquartered here. The town vanished and today it is a rich farming area. It was named for I.S.P. Weeks an assistant engineer for the Northern Pacific in charge of the Missoula division.

  • Project Summary
    Project Summary Location Saint Lawrence Estates is located south of Montana Highway 200, approximately five miles east of Bonner School, within the Blackfoot River corridor. The site consists of 78.72 acres that has historically been used for agricultural purposes (alfalfa/grass hay field), pasture, outdoors opportunities, and single-family residences. Saint Lawrence Estates proposes five lots on 78.72 acres legally described as North ½ of the Northwest ¼ of Section 17, Township 13 North, Range 17 West: less that portion condemned in Book 7 Micro, Page 219. Two houses exist on the site along with some farm sheds. History The subject site is a small ranch/farm with the original home still standing in the center of the property fronting Montana Highway 200. The 78.72 acres has two geocodes for tax purposes, however, there is one tract of record. The Vision for Saint Lawrence Estates The developer/owner Kirk Mace, has retained WGM Group, Inc. (WGM) for engineering and planning services with Dustin Hover, P.E. as the representative. The goal of Saint Lawrence Estates is to provide market rate housing that is affordable for Missoula County residents. The actual price of the dwelling units will be a function of the cost of labor and materials at the time of dwelling unit sales. Zoning/Comprehensive Plan The site is currently unzoned. The Missoula County Growth Policy classifies the site as two dwelling units per acre, and a small portion as parks, open space, and open resource. Saint Lawrence Estates complies with both the zoning and growth policy. Each lot will have one dwelling unit.
