Holmgren Ranch Fishing Access Site Habitat Improvement: Draft Checklist EA

Million Private Pond Application
A private landowner is proposing to stock Yellowstone cutthroat, rainbow and brown trout into a series of private ponds near Roberts. There are currently six ponds on the Million property, however all ponds are near each other and separated by small earthen dams no more than 20 feet wide. For this reason, FWP is considering permitting them as one pond.
Comment deadline: Aug. 29
Private Pond Stocking License - Ungersma Pond
A private landowner is proposing to construct a private pond on their property near Kroeger's Pond in Philipsburg. It is fed by well water and has a stand pipe and pond leveler that substantially limits the possibility of fish escaping.
