The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is ensuring that assessments are completed for all public water systems in Montana. The purpose of these reports is to provide information so that the public water system operator, consumers, and community citizens can begin developing strategies to protect your source of drinking water. The information that is provided includes the identification of the area most critical to maintaining safe drinking water, i.e., the Inventory Region, an inventory of potential sources of contamination within this area, and an assessment of the relative threat that these potential sources pose to the water system.

    Montana Ground-Water Assessment Atlas 2 Ground-Water Resources of the Flathead Lake Area: Flathead, Lake, Missoula, and Sanders Counties, Montana Part A*—Descriptive Overview and Water-Quality Data by John I. LaFave Larry N. Smith Thomas W. Patton *The atlas is published in two parts: Part A contains a descriptive overview of the study area, along with water-quality data and an illustrated glossary to introduce and explain many specialized terms used in the text; Part B contains the 11 maps referenced in this document. The maps offer expanded discussions about many aspects of the hydrogeology of the Flathead Lake area. Parts A and B are published separately and each map in Part B is also available individually. iv Ground-Water Assessment Atlas 2 Front Cover: Flathead Lake and the valley to the north are featured in this north–northeast-looking, low-oblique photograph. Formed by glacial damming of the Flathead River during the last ice age, Flathead Lake is 30 miles long and 12 to 14 miles wide. The small city of Kalispell is barely discernible north–northwest of the lake. Kal- ispell is a center for tourism, trade, and the production of livestock, grain, fruit, timber, and aluminum. The Flathead River drains into Flathead Lake, forming a conspicuous delta in the northeast part of the lake. South- west of Kalispell are the small Foy Lakes; Whitefish Lake is to the north. Near the top center of the photograph are Glacier National Park and Lake McDonald. Image courtesy of Earth Science and Image Analysis Laboratory, NASA Johnson Space Center (http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov).

  • Draft Environmental Assessment North Shore Wildlife Management
    Draft Environmental Assessment North Shore Wildlife Management Area Proposed Addition November 2015 Executive Summary North Shore Wildlife Management Area Proposed Addition Draft Environmental Assessment Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) proposes to purchase approximately 76.7 acres of farmland and wetlands located along the north shore of Flathead Lake about 4.5 miles east of the community of Somers. Funding for the project would be provided by the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act. The primary purpose of the proposed land acquisition is to protect and manage this land to restore or improve natural riparian/wetland habitats, to continue annual crop production to benefit resident and migratory waterfowl, to improve and maintain habitat for other wildlife, and to provide opportunities for seasonal and compatible public recreation. Other benefits of this project include protecting ground water, surface water, and wetlands on or near Flathead Lake, which will help improve or maintain the high water quality of Flathead Lake for benefits of aquatic life and fish and wildlife habitat. FWP proposes to incorporate this parcel into FWP’s wildlife management area program and it would become part of the existing North Shore Wildlife Management Area (North Shore WMA). The proposed Management Plan is included as part of the draft environmental assessment (EA). This property borders to the west the 189-acre North Shore Wildlife Management Area that FWP acquired in 2013 which is adjacent to the 160-acre North Shore State Park/Wildlife Management Area that FWP acquired in 2008. It also borders to the east the access road to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Flathead Lake Waterfowl Production Area.

  • Chapter 2: Missoula County Profile
    CHAPTER 2: MISSOULA COUNTY PROFILE INTRODUCTION This chapter is a profile of Missoula County's human and natural resources. The information provides an overall picture of existing conditions and projected trends for the life of the Growth Policy.1 More detailed information and analyses are available from other sources including regional land use plans and issue specific plans. The Missoula Community Health Assessment presents demographic, infrastructure, and health indicators for the community to improve the health of Missoula County communities. The PLACE2 project provides natural and cultural resource information for government, landowners, and community groups to use during review of subdivision and open space projects. This chapter is organized into the following sections: A. Land Use and Development Patterns E. Local Services B. Population F. Public Facilities C. Housing G. Natural Resources D. Economic Conditions H. Cultural Resources Projected trends in this chapter are based on forecasts for the 20 year life of the Growth Policy. Longer term changes and trends may be predicted based on climate change. According to a Geos Institute report for the Missoula area3, potential changes with a high degree of certainty in Missoula County include: 4 • Up to 2-5 degrees F warmer by 2035-2045. 5 • Lower and extended low stream flow in late summer with warmer overall stream temperatures. 6 • Earlier and greater spring runoff. 7 • Shifts in species ranges for wildlife and plants. 8 • Greater likelihood of severe wildfire. 9 • Increased spread of invasive plants and animals. Potential implications of climate related changes are described in a background document provided to participants in a ClimateWise workshop held in 2011.10 It concludes that Missoula County may also be impacted by changes occurring in other parts of the country.
