CRP Break Request – Lease 5756 2022-11-21
Closing Date:
Until Expired
Adam Hemry proposes the breaking and conversion of 512.90 Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres out of the 561.70 CRP acres under expired CRP contract 11000 on state land lease 5756, referred to herein as the “Project”. See Attachment A – Project Location Map for proposed break acres.
The CRP contract, No. 11000, expired on 9/30/2022. The previous lessee originally re-bid the CRP “as is” but it was rejected by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) as it did not meet their minimum standards. In order for the tract to be put back into CRP it needed to be sprayed and re-planted, which the previous lessee did not have farm equipment to do so. The lease was then transferred to the current lessee for the purpose of converting the CRP to agricultural land for small grain production.
The purpose of the conversion from CRP acres to agricultural production acres is to increase the overall revenue on lease 5756 for the Common Schools Trust while maintaining the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) land sustainability goals. The Project is expected to occur in the Fall of 2022.

Upper Musselshell Water Project Lands-2024 Fence 2024-08-07
Closing Date:
09-08-2024
The proposed action involves the replacement of existing fence and/or
installation of new fence along portions of the North and East Dam of Martinsdale Reservoir which is part of
the Upper Musselshell Water Project. This project is owned by the Montana Department of Natural Resources
and Conservation (DNRC) and administered by the State Water Projects Bureau (SWPB).
The purpose of this fencing project is to accurately delineate the State’s fee title interest in land ownership and
help to reduce existing encroachment issues from neighboring landowners, including livestock trespass,
noxious weeds and building infrastructure.
The replaced, or new boundary fence will consist of a four-stranded barbed wire design with metal posts and
tensioned with wood panel braces. Fence construction will follow Montana Code Annotated (MCA) code 81-4-
101 which defines a legal fence. Best management practices from the Fish Wildlife and Parks “A Landowners
Guide to Wildlife Friendly Fences" Second Edition, 2012 will also be implemented.

Whiskey Bent Haul Road 2024-08-09
Closing Date:
09-09-2024
This amendment is to provide updated information for a previously completed checklist environmental assessment posted to the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation public information website May 3, 2024. Due to additional information provided by the Montana Department of Transportation it has been determined to be in the best interest of public safety to move the approach entering the highway approximately 425 feet to the east which would provide ingress and egress to section 14. This change provides for a greater site distance for eastbound traffic as haul trucks enter and exit section 14.
The construction of the approach would add 490.29 feet of newly constructed road within Section 14, increasing the total road length from 0.93 miles to approximately 1.00 mile in length. The change would cause a minimal direct impact of loss to cropland. The disturbance would be minimal, and the surface lessee would realize a minimal loss in acreage used for producing straw or wheat.
Construction of the new segment of road and the approach would be the responsibility of the proponent. The proponent must follow all requirements of the Montana Department of Transportation when constructing the approach. The construction of the segment of new road, the approach, and the change in fencing is anticipated to take several days to weeks.
The changes to the haul road and approach are not expected to have appreciable impacts that would change the previously completed environmental analysis. All impacts identified within the original Environmental Assessment under the action alternative, are still accurate. The significance of impacts are the same as determined in the original Environmental Assessment. The original Environmental Assessment is attached to this amendment document along with an updated map on page 18.
