Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout Preservation in the Upper Camas Drainage; Montana
The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) announced its environmental findings for its proposal to fund the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MFWP) in the removal of non-native fish species through the use of a fish toxicant, and reintroduction of native fish species, within a small area of the Camas Drainage in partnership with Glacier National Park (Glacier). On March 19, 2019, the National Park Service (NPS) issued a final Environmental Assessment for the Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout Preservation in the Upper Camas Drainage project. BPA adopted the NPS EA (DOE/EA-2114) which describes and analyzes proposed BPA-funded activities. Since BPA was not a Cooperating Agency in the development of the EA, BPA is recirculating the final EA, with minor text modifications, as required by the Council on Environmental Quality’s regulation 40 CFR 1506.3(b) for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
