Water rights rules prompt public input in Montana and federal plans
More than 150 people attended a public meeting at the American Legion Hall to discuss proposed water regulation reforms by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Montana comments are due June 16 while the Corps deadlines vary with four proposed rule alternatives. The changes follow a federal court order to broaden regulation of dredged materials and waters of the United States, signaling imminent state and federal oversight over land and water rights.
