Olson Views on Lowry Damsite in Sun River Debate
Commissioner Bud Olson, chair of the Teton County Board, declines a stand on three proposed Sun River dam sites. He attended a Helena meeting to learn more, noting the Lowry site would flood about 15 sections of land with no county benefit, while upper sites may provide irrigation with less land loss. Opponents from Augusta and Lewis and Clark oppose Lowry, fearing prime farmland loss and railway disruption. Greenfield Irrigation District opposes Lowry but would welcome extra water. The paper invites factual letters to help explain the issue.
