Fall Update
Hello everyone! Peter Fritsch writing. Seems winter has arrived early with many areas seeing 6"of snow or more throughout the basin in the last 24hrs. Some locations near the front may see more than a foot!
I am sure most are aware of our final call in early September that lasted for less than a week. I won't go into much detail now. Suffice it to say, the call was lifted by the arrival of a significant fall rain event. The rain spelled a much needed end to a 90 day run of drought and above average temperatures throughout the basin.
First update relates to my involvement with the Teton River Distribution Project. I left the Montana Water Court and am no longer a Standing Water Master. Orders rescinding my appointment have been issued by Judge Olson and Judge Boucher.
Second update relates to my appointment as chief water commissioner in the Teton River Distribution Project. A petition was filed with the 9th & 12th Judicial District Court. The water users who signed the petition represent a significant majority of the water right interests in the basin. Both Judge Olson and Judge Boucher approved the appointment.
Third update relates to fall meetings for the Teton River Distribution Project. See the schedule below. Start times will be 6:30 and will run as long as needed.
Upper Teton River - Monday October 23rd - 6:30p at John Henry's backroom in Choteau
Lower Teton River - Tuesday October 24th - 630p at the Community Bible Church in Ft Benton
Spring Creek - Wednesday October 25th - 100p at the Choteau County Courthouse
Muddy Creek - Friday October 25th - 6:30p at Choteau County Annex Building
Deep Creek - Monday October 30th - 6:30p at John Henry's backroom in Choteau
Fourth update relates to a single basin wide meeting scheduled for Thursday, November 9th - 6:30pm at the Stage Stop Inn in Choteau, MT. I will have a draft petition for water users to review as of this meeting. I will try to make it available prior to the meeting, including posting it here in pdf form. The Teton River Watershed Group is facilitating this meeting and will have additional presentations. I will post an itinerary from Kevin Stone as soon as he provides me with one.
