Fly Creek surface and groundwater sampling

Objective

  • The objective of the project is to provide water sampling of ground and surface water sources along Fly Creek on a twice-yearly schedule for five years. 
  • Annual water quality reports for water sources along Fly Creek in Big Horn and Yellowstone County will be shared with Montana NRCS' State Geologist and Hydrologist specialist. 
  • Surface and Ground water in the area are documented to have levels of sulfates greatly exceeding the recommended levels for livestock. 
  • Hardin and Billings USDA-NRCS field offices have a Targeted Implementation Plan (TIP) focused along Fly Creek to provide safe drinking water for livestock, and to prevent livestock access from Fly Creek. 
  • The project is aimed at providing landowners and ag operators access to affordable water quality monitoring of surface and ground water along Fly Creek.
