THE CLARK FORK COALITION AND PARTNERS WILL RECONSTRUCT FOUR IRRIGATION DIVERSIONS AND INSTALL FOUR SMALL FISH SCREENS IN UPPER BROWNS GULCH, A TRIBUTARY TO SILVER BOW CREEK NEAR BUTTE, MONTANA. THE SILVER BOW CREEK WATERSHED, A 350-SQUARE MILE BASIN AT THE TOP OF THE CLARK FORK RIVER SYSTEM, HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A SUCCESSFUL SUPERFUND CLEANUP OF MINING WASTES, AND IS NOW POPULATED BY WESTSLOPE CUTTHROAT TROUT THAT SURVIVED IN UNCONTAMINATED HEADWATERS. BROWNS GULCH IS ONE OF THOSE UNCONTAMINATED HEADWATERS. RECONNECTING THE UPPER BROWNS GULCH CUTTHROAT POPULATION TO THE MAINSTEM OF SILVER BOW CREEK REQUIRES IMPROVEMENT OF UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM FISH PASSAGE THROUGH THE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS ON BROWNS GULCH. THIS PROJECT WILL RECONSTRUCT DIVERSIONS, AND INSTALL FISH SCREENS AT FOUR SITES CLUSTERED AROUND ONE RANCH, COMPLEMENTING OTHER FISH PASSAGE AND HABITAT IMPROVEMENTS ON BROWNS GULCH FUNDED BY MULTIPLE PARTNERS IN THE LAST 9 YEARS.
