Witness Describes Missouri Inflow In River Hearing
Edward W. Kremer testified on Missouri river inflow between Holter and Maroney dams in a federal court case pitting Montana Power Co. against Broadwater-Missouri Water Use Association and the state water conservation board. Kremer, regional director of the Federal Power Commission, is expected to be examined further about water from natural sources entering the river. The suit seeks adjudication of river rights after the Broadwater irrigation dam near Toston, with the company arguing it needs all river water during low flow to operate seven plants. Defendants presented plans to prove water return and raised water table effects, while plaintiff’s objections to return flow testimony were sustained.
