| TROUT UNLIMITED, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MONTANA NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE PROGRAM (NRDP) AND THE CLARK FORK COALITION, WILL DESIGN A SUITE OF INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS TO PROVIDE FISH AND RECREATIONAL BOAT PASSAGE, SCREEN DITCHES, AND IMPROVE WATER DELIVERY AT TEN IRRIGATION DIVERSION SITES WITHIN THE UPPER CLARK FORK RIVER BASIN LOCATED IN WESTERN MONTANA. THIS PROJECT EXTENDS ACROSS TWO SUBBASINS ENCOMPASSING THE UPPER CLARK FORK RIVER BASIN, THE FLINT ROCK AND UPPER CLARK FORK. THE CLARK FORK IS HOME TO IMPERILED POPULATIONS OF NATIVE THREATENED BULL TROUT AND WEST SLOPE CUTTHROAT TROUT. CURRENTLY, IRRIGATION DIVERSION STRUCTURES ARE FRAGMENTING HABITAT, ENTRAINING FISH AND POSING HAZARDS TO FLOATERS AND ANGLERS ON PUBLIC WATERWAYS ALONG THE UPPER CLARK FORK RIVER. THIS STUDY AND DESIGN PROJECT INCLUDES SITE SURVEYS, DATA COLLECTION, AND MAPPING TO INFORM DECISION MAKING AND DESIGN, THE DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN ALTERNATIVES, WATER RIGHTS REVIEWS, AND OUTREACH THROUGH PUBLIC MEETINGS AND WATERSHED MEETINGS, CULMINATING IN A 60% DESIGN PACKAGE FOR THE SELECTED ALTERNATIVE AT EACH SITE. WHEN IMPLEMENTED, THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL RESTORE AND CONNECT 75 MILES OF HIGH-QUALITY MIGRATING AND SPAWNING HABITAT. THE PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY THE CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, THE BEAVERHEAD-DEERLODGE NATIONAL FOREST, LOCAL IRRIGATORS, AND OTHER WATERSHED STAKEHOLDERS. | Montana (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | TROUT UNLIMITED, INC. | $594K | — |

| THE LOWER YELLOWSTONE IRRIGATION PROJECT WILL ALSO REPLACE TWO CONCRETE HEADGATES, THE LATERAL K AND LATERAL PP, WITH NEW CONCRETE STRUCTURES, NEW GATES, AND A REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM. A WEIR WITH A STILLING WELL WILL BE INSTALLED ON EACH HEADGATE STRUCTURE, AND THE STILLING WELL WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION COMPONENTS TO ALLOW FOR REMOTE MONITORING. THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN ANNUAL WATER SAVINGS OF 1,560 ACRE-FEET, CURRENTLY LOST TO LEAKS AND INEFFICIENCIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE MANUAL OPERATION OF THE EXISTING HEADGATES. CONSERVED WATER WILL HELP TO MEET PEAK IRRIGATION DEMAND AND TO AVOID WATER RATIONING DURING TIMES OF DROUGHT, AND WILL OTHERWISE BE LEFT IN THE YELLOWSTONE RIVER. | Montana (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | LOWER YELLOWSTONE IRRIGATION PROJECT BOARD OF CONTROL | $125K | — |
