Proposed Upper Conner Creek Project: On Friday February 2, the TRRP held an on-site meeting at the Proposed Boat Ramp for the Junction City Campground launching site. There were several TRRP personnel and some people from BLM as well as some guides and a few interested citizens and yours truly. Over all it was a fair representation. Yeah, I believe this is one of the first times that TRRP has really made an effort to gather public input since TAMWG was defunded. First there was an oral presentation of the overall project and then a walk through of the proposed entrance and launch site. I must say it was very insightful and informative. After the walk through TRRP James Lee opened up the discussion for recommendations and questions. There were several good questions asked and answered well or said the answer was not available at the time but would try to get one. Some of the suggestions were of good value and were accepted and noted for presentation to the Engineers of the project. The idea of the meeting was to try and get input from the people who would be using the ramp rather than just doing the work and hoped it would work. I do hope that the suggestions will be put into the ramp project to provide a usable staging and launching area. The proposal is to make the launching area prior to the Rehabilitation Project so that the public would not lose fishing ability from Junction City down to Helena/Bagdad area during construction/rehabilitation. For once I believe TRRP “got it”. I would like to see more of this type of events by TRRP and just maybe the public would get to present some meaningful input for River Rehabilitation. If you have questions about this project call TRRP, James Lee, (530)623-1800.
