Missoulian: Report:
Channel to protect Yellowstone sturgeon would cost $58.9 million
Final Independent External Peer Review Report for the Intake Diversion Dam Modification Lower Yellowstone Project, Montana
“The purpose of the proposed project is to modify features of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Lower Yellowstone Project Intake Diversion Dam and canal headworks to improve passage and reduce entrainment for endangered pallid sturgeon and other native fish in the Lower Yellowstone River. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the pallid sturgeon as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1990. The wild population of pallid sturgeon inhabiting the Yellowstone River and the Missouri River between Fort Peck Dam, Montana, and Lake Sakakawea, North Dakota, are anticipated to be extirpated by 2018 if reproduction and recruitment of young fish do not improve.”
