Montana Wild – Feb 28th @ 6PM

Agenda:
– The Commissioners adopted the administrative rule amendments pertaining to recreation on the Helena Valley Regulating Reservoir.
– The Commission approved extending public comment on the current no-wake zone proposed on Canyon Ferry and adding an alternate proposal option as part of the extended public comment period. o Most of the public comment on the original no wake proposal were in favor of increased no-wake zone restrictions on the north end of Canyon Ferry, but multiple commenters suggested adopting a similar set of rules to the western fishing district by establishing a no-wake zone within 200 feet of the shoreline.
– The alternative creates a 200-foot no-wake zone starting at Kayley Bay on the north end of the shoreline and ending at Crittenden on the south shoreline. The idea is to provide a 200-foot-no-wake buffer in front of all cabins on the lake and not impose restrictions on the undeveloped shoreline of the lake.
– Generally, when an alternative is proposed based on public comment, it is almost a sure bet that it will be what is ultimately adopted.
– If you prefer the new alternative, the originally proposed no-wake, or neither of them—submit your comments to FWP
