Dam in Gallatin Nears Approval for Spanish Creek Site
Rockwood Brown of Billings told the Bozeman Chamber of Commerce that Middle Creek dam near Spanish Creek will likely be approved under the PWA program. The plan calls for 8 000 to 10 000 acre feet of storage at a cost about 350 000 dollars, with 45 percent grant and 55 percent loan. The 800 acres to be flooded would be provided by Montana Power Company, and construction would create about 500 jobs with housing and site work.
