Board rejects stream rules petition sparks hearing debate
Sweet Grass Conservation District filed to amend state streambed rules after Montana Board of Natural Resources rejected the proposal. Chairman Franklin Grosfield calls the ruling a setback and questions public hearing value as ranchers contend agencies draft rules without direct public accountability. Legal costs total about 1000 dollars with transcript fees, while advocates say the petition creates useful legislative documentation.
