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.
