The BHWC Contributed one-third
of the cost to develop a 100-year floodplain map for the mainstem of the
Big Hole River. This document provides floodplain managers one of
the tools they need to provide for public safety and protection of the
river. Because of the care with which this project was developed,
Montana's floodplain supervisor will guarantee to FEMA the floodplain
maps developed through this process. You can view this document

The BHWC helped four Montana
counties develop a land use plan for the Big Hole basin. It took a
three-year process to get the plan implemented. The land-use plan
defines development setbacks from the high watermark of the Big Hole
River. A nine-member citizen advisory board representing
Anaconda-Deer Lodge, Beaverhead, Butte-Silverbow and Madison Counties
and the BHWC is charged with reviewing development requests and making
recommendations to local governing bodies.
The nine members of the board
are:
Linda Bouck Anaconda Deer Lodge County
Doris Fisher Madison County
Rick Hartz Beaverhead County
Steve Hess Butte Silver-Bow County
Harold Peterson - Chairman (Beaverhead Co.
Representative)
Sam Novich - Vice Chairman (Madison Co.
Representative)
Liz Jones - Beaverhead Co. Representative
Ray Weaver - BHWC Representative
Ray Tilman - Anaconda Deer Lodge Co. Representative
