Fly Creek surface and groundwater sampling

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.
