Restoration Road Map

The Natural Resource Damage Program (NRDP) has issued a Draft Conceptual Framework for an Upper Clark Fork River Basin Restoration Priorities Road Map (PDF). This document outlines the proposed conceptual framework for how the Upper Clark Fork River Basin (UCFRB) Restoration Fund would be prioritized via earmarking after settlement of the natural resource damage litigation. An executive summary (PDF) is also available.

The public comment period on the May 2008 draft document closed on August 15, 2008. In December 2008, NRDP issued a draft document based on the public comment received and the Governor's request for a consensus proposal (PDF). In early 2009, this revised proposal will be considered by the UCFRB Advisory Council and the Trustee Restoration Council, with a final decision by the Governor.
