MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE APPROPRIATIONS ......Sciences for the solid waste management planning...

MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE APPROPRIATIONS CO~~ITTEE March 17, 1981

The Appropriations Committee met on Tuesday, March 17, 1981, in Room 104 of the Capitol Building at 8:00 a.m. with CHAIRMAN ART LUND presiding and fifteen members present (REP. HEMS TAD was absent).

CHAIRMAN LUND opened the hearing on HB 709.

HOUSE BILL 709

REP. TED NEUMAN, sponsor, presented the bill which would appropriate funds to the Department of Natural Resources for various projects. He explained that the purpose of the Renewable Resources Development Program is to utilize funds provided by the coal severance tax to promote the development of Montana's renewable resources. It will ensure that the quality of existing public resources such as land, air, water, fish, wildlife, and recreational opportunities are not significantly diminished by developments. The program may provide funds for the purchase, lease, or construction of projects for conservation, management, utilization, development, or preservation of land, water, fish, wildlife, and other renewable resources in our state. It is used for the feasibility and design studies for such projects. It may be used for the rehabilitation, expansion, or modification of existing projects and for other purposes approved by the legiSlature. There is a criteria for rejection of projects also. If a project is solely for research, it will not be funded. If a projects's primary benefits are nonpublic and financiallY not feasible, it will not be funded. Projects must come under the definition of renewable resource projects.

The department does encourage projects which will show benefits that could be potentially statewide; primarily pUblic; projects that will conserve energy and resources; encourages applications for loans rather than grants; encourages projects in which the local group provides some of the funding; and, except in unusual circumstances, recommends that no more than 20 percent of the total funds will go to a single project.

Speaking as a proponent was DALE MARZER of Cascade County, who explained the Muddy Creek project. He said the sediment problem must be solved by stopping the erosion. This funding is a necessary part of the project. See Exhibit 1.

ED NORLAND supported the Buffalo Rapids irrigation project which operates in the Glendive area. It includes 35 acres of ground which takes in the town of Fallon. It has been of great benefit to the area and he asked for support of the funding.

MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE APPROPRIATIONS C011MITTEE March 17, 1981

RON PAGE, the East Bench project coordinator, explained his project. This project provides a substantial savings in energy. There is a limited supply of energy in that area and so it is important to do so. There is also a savings of water by eliminating surface ditches. This project cannot proceed without this funding.

WALTER MORRIS, President of the Board of Directors of the East Bench Project, supported the request also. He stated the project is truly an asset through the savings of water and power.

REP. STOBIE asked if this amount is being matched with private funds. The answer was that about $51,000 are matched through a water and power resources loan. Between the grant and the loan, the project will survive.

REP. HURWITZ asked what the primary crop is. The answer was grain and alfalfa hay. MR. MORRIS also stated that the loan is a 40-year one which will be repaid.

REP. KERRY KEYSER supported the funding saying that a great deal of power is saved by this project and that it is worthwhile.

DUANE ROBERTSON, Chief of the Solid Waste Bureau, explained the program for recycling and resource recovery. See Exhibit 2.

REP. LUND questioned that this is the second request for a grant for this project. MR. ROBERTSON replied that the previous funds were received for planning and this is for implementation.

,REP. DAN YARDLEY supported the program.

KIP WALTHER, Water Quality Bureau, presented the plans for feasibility and design for the implementation of water quality plans. See Exhibit 3. He stated that some counties receive funding but need the matching funds.

DAN WARSDALL, the City Manager of Anaconda, spoke in support of the grant to Anaconda-Deer Lodge for the Georgetown Lake weed control project. The lake is being overrun by weeds and the problem must be handled.

REP. JOE KANDUCH also spoke in favor of the grant. He gave a brief background of the problem saying that the weeds started taking over about three years ago and the local people have been trying to reach a solution ever since.

MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE March 17, 1981

The next'project was the Bluewater Project in Carbon County. See Exhibit 4. Speaking in support was DON PHILLIPS who stated that he represented landowners in the area. He felt some of the problems of silt in the Yellowstone River could be stopped with Bluewater project. , ALBERT BOWENS said there is a need to stabilize the creek.

JIM YEDLICKA, head of the Carbon County Soil several studies have been made in the area. of the streambank and fencing. The Fish and will help with fencing.

District, said It is a problem Game Department

REP. THOFT asked how the stabilization will occur. The answer was with the use of steel pilings. Also with the use of large boulders to check erosion.

REP. BARDANOUVE asked about the uncapped well. MR. YEDLICKA said a company drilled for oil and struck artesian springs. They attempted to cap it but were unsuccessful. The water is now used for irrigation purposes.

REP. QUILICI asked if the creek could be made to meander. MR. PHILLIPS said that was too costly.

CAROL LEE CHEEDE, Department of Natural Resources, presented the next project which is a grant to the City of Lewistown for the East Fork reservoir recreation project. It would be used to develop a recreation area near town. Total cost of the project is $117,000 and they are asking for 25 percent of the total funding or $28,756. The work is on access roads, campsites and public facilities.

HANK GOETZ described the grant needed to fund the Lubrecht experimental forest. It would be for the Lubrecht forest second growth management project. The funds help with thinning of the forest.

REP. VERNER BERTELSEN supported the project saying it meets well with the criteria. The farmers and ranchers cannot afford to do this type of thinning and this project is a great help in that area. It is a worthwhile project in that it proves that thinning helps the trees grow more rapidly and that the operation can be profitable.

REP. HURWITZ said he is very impressed with the project and that it should continue.


HERBERT PASHA supported the grant to the Triangle Conservation District. See Exhibit 5.

REP. MOORE questioned whether or not funds were left from a previous appropriation to this program. The answer was about $35,000.

REP. MOORE further questioned whether or not any acres had been recovered under this program. The answer was yes, but not in all counties, and of course, not all of the acres.

REP. THOFT asked if the land can actually be reclaimed. The answer was yes by using deep rooted crops.

JIM SEWALD supported the project.

CLAIRE BARRETO presented the grant proposal for the leafy spurge weed control project. It is a perennial, noxious weed that is not localized and very difficult to control. Presently farmers are using chemicals to try to control it but are facing a losing battle. It is a cost sharing program.

JOEL SHOUSE, Director of the Blue Ribbons of the Big Sky Country Areawide Planning Organization, explained the grant requested by his organization for the Ennis Lake thermal problem control project. See Exhibit 6. Several letters and documents of support are attached as Exhibit 7.

REP. KERRY KEYSER supported the project saying the small towns in the area depend heavily upon the fishing related activities of the Ennis Lake and the thermal problem must be controlled.

DAVID KUMLIEN from the Bozeman Chamber of Commerce supported the grant saying it is necessary for that area of Montana.

REP. BARDANOUVE asked if this is a private power dam. The answer was yes but that it is operated under a federal permit. Montana Power will participate in any project.

REP. BARDANOUVE then asked about local contributions and was told that there has already been participation through Trout Unlimited and the Blue Ribbons people.

WILLIE MILLIRON presented the grant request relating to the rangeland resource development program. See Exhibit 8.


REP. BARDANOUVE asked how much is left to repay on the loan. The answer was that it is a 20-year loan.

PETER JACKSON supported the request saying it is an excellent program.

RON HOLLIDAY of the Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Department presented the request for a grant for the dam repairs program. See Exhibit 9.

REP. THOFT asked if the inspections by the state are contracted with the Corps of Engineers. GARY FRITZ of the Department of Natural Resources replied that a number of firms are used and that the inspections are let out to contract.

REP. BARDANOUVE asked if the staff is available to do this and would it not be better to have one agency doing it instead of two. MR. FRITZ said his department has one inspector presently. He further stated that the Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department would like to have the Department of Natural Resources do the inspecting and vice versa.

JOEL SHOUSE spoke in favor of the grant to the City of Bozeman for the Mystic Lake dam repair project. This is for a water system for the City of Bozeman. It is a secondary supply of water for the city.

DUANE ROBERTSON, Chief of the Solid Waste Bureau, presented the request for a grant to the Department of Health and Environmental Sciences for the solid waste management planning program. See Exhibit 10.

NORM PETERSON spoke in favor of the grant for streambank preservation. See Exhibit 11.

JIM YEDLICKA of the Carbon County Soil District supported the grant for small water projects construction. This is a loan program to help with construction costs. It is the only way landowners can afford to build these projects.

GARY FRITZ of the Department of Natural Resources presented the request for the grant for engineering and financial feasibility plans for a dam on Pattengail Creek. The department spent a great deal of time deciding that Pattengail Creek is the most feasible place for a dam. The total cost of building the dam would be $35 million dollars.


REP. MOORE questioned spending $75,000 for engineering. MR. FRITZ said the study would be used to try to secure the funding from the federal government.

GARY FRITZ of the Department of Natural Resources presented the request for development of a water use data system as recommended by the water policy review advisory council. The council recommended that one agency do the work on this type of project.

MR. FRITZ presented the grant request for a program to implement the Carey Act which established a mini Sagebrush Rebellion. The statute was repealed in 1970 and 1971. The Cary Land Act is still operative. Additional lands that would qualify could revert from federal to private ownership. The Supreme Court says this program still can be used. This program would determine the lands that would qualify under the act. It would set up the program and then would need statute to reestablish this act.

Then, MR. FRITZ presented the request for the department to develop a strategy to protect Montana's water from downstream uses and insure water availability for Montana's future needs. This program would tell us how we could best use our water. We are not sure whether or not we are ready to enter into a water compact with some other states. It could address the concerns of a lot of people.

MR. FRITZ further explained that the Boulder River project is still on the books. They are still looking for federal funding.

The hearing on HB 709 closed and one on HB 822 opened.

HOUSE BILL 822

REP. BOB THOFT, sponsor, presented the bill \'lhich would appropriate funds to the Agricultural Experiment Station for weed research and education. The funds would be given to MSU to be used to cooperate with companies on using chemicals to control weeds. He felt the state should have the obligation to handle this type of problem. He also felt that several of these programs should be incorporated and tied together for one good program.

The hearing on HB 822 closed and one on HB 801 opened.

HOUSE BILL 801

Speaking as a proponent was ROBERT S. FITZGERALD of the U.S. Windpower, Inc. See Exhibit 12.

MINUTES OF THE ~illETING OF THE APPROPRIATIONS CO~~ITTEE 1-1arch 17, 1981

DANA GUNDERSON spoke in favor of renewable resources. He explained that there are several areas in Montana which show great potential and he felt those areas should be studied for future use.

CHAIRMAN LUND stated that the hearing would be continued ata later time to be announced.

The meeting adjourned at 10:45 a.m.

PRESENTED BY: James W. Flynn, Director Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks

HB 709, a grant to the department of fish, wildlife, and parks for the streambank preservation program: $100,000

Mr. Chairman, members of the committee, my name is Jim Flynn. I

appear to day on behalf of the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife

and Parks, and I speak in favor of HB 709, a grant to the department

of fish, wildlife, and parks for the streambank preservation program:

$100,000. . The department has administered the previous $100,000 appropriated

for streambank protection by the 1979 Montana Legislature from

the Renewable Resource Development Program. The purpose of the

original request is the same as this -- to provide money for on-

the-ground projects that maintain quality streams.

In coordinating the Natural Streambed and Land Preservation Act

it has become obvious that often in order to provide long-term

solutions to stream related problems, considerable time, effort,

and money are required. Often the landowner does not have sufficient

funds to provide a long-term solution. The program provides for

financial assistance with projects that are properly designed and

will provide for public as well as private benefits.

A synopsis of the program is presented in the Department of Natural

Resource's 1981 Grant Evaluation and Recommendations. However,

I'd like to emphasize and expand on a few key factors of and bring

you up-to-date on the program.

Applications come from the landowner but must be supported by the

local Conservation District Board of Supervisors and the Department's

field representative. The department through the Fisheries Division

• rece~Ves the requests and approves or disapproves them based upon

public benefits that would arise and whether or-not the design

-2-

provides an adequate solution. A complete cost accounting is kept

for each project. To date we have received 18 applications. Of

these we've committed funds for 13 projects in the total of $60,255.

An additional $38,800 has been requested for the remaining 5

applicants. A single project may involve more than one applicant

each individual applicant is entitled to a maximum of $5,000 for

a project.

The types of projects range from providing $505 for fencing to

preventstreambank trampling on Sheppard Creek in Flathead County;

to $5,000 each for two landowners in Cascade County who want to

protect their cropland from accelerated bank erosion and channel

changes caused by flooding of the Sun River; to removal of a culvert

that was blocking trout spawning movement and causing erosion and

replacing it with a bridge on Trout Creek near Helena.

In addition to conventional assistance, the program is providing

an avenue through which additional state and federal cost-sharing

funding can be made available. Several large projects in eastern

Montana along the Yellowstone River can be held up as examples.

I should emphasize again that all monies has and will be used for

on-the-ground projects -- the department receives no money for

administration.

In conclusion, I ask you to consider the success of the program,

the long-term benefits that will arise from continuing program

funding, and recommend a do pass on this project.

APPLICATION FOR RENEWABLE RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT GRANT

GRANT APPLICATION: Water Quality Bureau, Department of Health and Environmental Sciences on behalf of the Conservation Districts.

GRANT AMOUNT: $41,000.00

PURPOSE: The grant will be used to' help Conservation Districts :meet the Federal "matching" requirements for water quality improvement planning projects. Federal funds that are passed through to districts by the Water Quality Bureau are required by Federal regulations to be matched with 25 percent nonfederal monies. Because district budgets are generally inadequate, most districts are unable to receive these project monies that would help them correct serious erosion/water quality problems.

PROJECT GOALS: The basic goals of the water quality improvement-planning projects are to:

1) prescribe specific measures to correct priority water quality problems,

2) determine all associated costs,

3) prepare accurate and realistic funding requests to,the state legislature, Congress, grant administering agencies, and other funding sources.

EXAMPLES OF WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLANNING PROJECTS:

Bluewater Creek Water Quality Improvement Project

Muddy Creek Special Water Quality Improvement Project.

ANTICIPATED PROJECTS FOR FY 1982: We anticipate about 6-7 projects if the matching funds are made available under RRD.

For more information please contact: Water Quality Bureau

History

RENEWABLE RESOORCE DEVELOPMENT PRCX;RAM

RECYCLING AND RESOURCE REOJVERY PROJECT

In 1977, the depart:rrent applied for and received a planning grant fran the "Renewable Resource Develq::nent Accoont".

These monies ~e in turn issued to units of local goverrment to conduct detailed areawide solid waste management planning.

To date, 26 coonties, over 230 municipalities, the National Park Service, a military installation, tv.u Indian reservations and a large private company have jointly participated in this planning effort.

Most of the areawide planning is or will soon re canpleted and local goverrurents are nON proceeding with ir.1plementation of these plans.

Each planning project has teen required to conduct a detailed feasibility analysis of the potential for resource recovery and recycling programs.

Project

This analysis has identified nurrerous resource recovery and recycling projects which have a significant potential for developrrent.

The majority of projects identified as feasible would provide steam generation through the canbJ.stion of solid waste.

The departrrent has identified by the developrrent stage areas within the state that could l:::enefit fran the proposed grant program in terms of ~esource recovery:

Feasibility Analysis

Flathead Camty Missoula Camty Silver Bow County Hill County

Preliminary Desig!!

Cascade, Chouteau & Teton Counties Deer Ldlge, Granite & Pa.Jell Camties Yellowstone County CUster County

Construction

Lewis & Clark, Broadwater and Jefferson Counties Gallatin & Madison Counties

Park County

In addition, the developrent of nuneraus small scale recycling prCXjrarns will l::e assisted through this state grant program.

Project Procedures

Funds requested will te granted to cooperating local governrrents for front-end organizational and implementation activities

The departrrent is NOr requesting canpensation for administering this project.

The departrrent is test suited to administer this project:

* tecause it will substantially minimize the nurn1:er of grant applications for such projects to the Department of Natural Resoorces.

* tecause of the departrrent' s well established v.orking relationship with local governrrents in the resource recovery and recycling field.

* tecause of the department's specialized experience in the areas of resource recovery and recycling.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING

History

* In 1977, the depart:Irent applied for and received a planning grant fran the "Renewable Resource Developrrent Account".

* These rronies \>.ere in turn issued to units of local goverrurent to conduct detailed areawide solid waste management planning.

* To date, 26 counties, over 230 municipalities, the National Park service a military installation, two Indian reservations and a large private carpany have jointly participated in this planning effort.

* Most of the areawide planning is or will soon 1::e carpleted and local governrrents are now proceeding with implementation of these plans.

* In each planning area, a detailed evaluation has teen made of:

Project

waste quantities and carposition

existing waste management conditions

special wastes such as waste oil and septic tank pumpings

resource recovery and recycling potential

waste management alternatives including:

maintaining existing disposal faclities establishment of areawide sanitary landfills various container systems.

There are numerous counties which have expressed an interest in utilizing such grants to develop canprehensive areawide waste management plans. These areas are listed by county:

Beaverhead Hill Sweet Grass Pow:ier River Dawson Carbon

Fergus Petroleum Musselshell Golden Valley Wheatland

This list of interested counties should not 1::e considered all inclusive.

The continued availability of the planning funds will allow local governrrents to determine which disposal, recycling, and resource recovery alternatives are feasible for their areas.

Project Prcx::edures

Funds requested will re granted to ccoperating local governrrents for front-end planning activities.

The departrrent is NO!' requesting carpensation for administering this project.

Project Procedures (continued)

The departrrent is mst suited to administer this grant pr03Tarn:

h=cause it will substantially minimize the number of grant applications for such projects to the Depart:rrent of Natural Resources;

h=cause of the departrrent's well established working relationship with local governments in the waste management field;

h=cause of the departrrent's specialized experience in the area of waste management.

IMPORTANT - FOR MARCH 17th HEARING

4930 9th Ave. South Great Falls MT 59405 Muddy Creek Project

TO: Muddy Creek E~ecutive Board Members

FROM: John P. Andrews, Project Coordinator

SUBJECT: Need for Renewable Resource Development (RRD) Program Fun(

As you already know,improving the irrigation systems in the Muddy Creek drainage and keeping unused irrigation water out of that creek is the only way we can solve the sediment problem on Muddy Creek, and the rivers downstream.

What we don't system due to percolation. water savings Creek.

know"is how much water is being lost in the irrigatit present irrigation methods, evaporation, and deep This information is essential if we expect to project due to improved irrigation and its effects on Muddy

The Renewable Resource Development Program is designed to fund this kind of research and supply answers to these questions. Our application for RRD funding has been written to:

1. Complet·e an irrigation water budget. by measuring the amount of water entering irrigated fields, the amount used by crops, and the amount that is lost to crop use and contributes to Mudd'y-{3reek' s .:flt

2. Evaluate water diversion alternatives above Fairfield by studyi: these alternatives (surge relief) and modeling the effects of surplus water diversion into Freezeout Lake and the Teton River.

3. Inform farmers of these findings through a series of meetings a presentations aimed at improving their irrigation management.

We feel that the RRD program is essential to our long-term project success and particularly, in documenting this water use for future federal funding. This information has been requested prior to any major funding by some federal agencies as required "homework."

Equally important~the results of this program will benefit other irrigation projects in determining their irrigation water needs. Publications describing study results are being funded by this reql If more information is needed in support of this request, please don't hesitate to call me.
