PUBLIC NOTICE
Proposed DNRC/ CS&KT Land Exchange

The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CS&KT) are evaluating a proposed land exchange in Lake, Missoula, and Flathead Counties. The DNRC land proposed for exchange consists of four sections of school trust land, all in-holdings within the South Fork Jocko Tribal Primitive Areas; Section 36, T17N, R17W (520 acres), Section 16, T16N, R17W (640 acres), Section 36, T16N, R18W (640 acres), and Section 16, T16N,R18W(640 acres). The CS&KT land proposed for exchange is portions of three separate ranches purchased by the Tribe over the last few years. The property is located North of the Reservation boundary and North of Niarada in parts of Sections 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, and 35 in T25N, R23W (2820 acres) and Section 30 in T25N, R22W (80 acres). Anyone seeking the exact legal description or maps of the DNRC and CS&KT property may obtain it from either Tom McDonald or Robert Sandman.
The proposal is for the CSKT to exchange the Tribal property outside the Reservation to DNRC for Common School Trust Lands within the Tribal Primitive Area of approximately equal value. This exchange would allow both DNRC and CSKT to consolidate their holdings and provide for improved management of their respective lands. Improved management of these lands would benefit the Trust beneficiaries, Tribal members, the public and the natural resources.
DNRC and CSKT invite public comment on this proposal and will utilize comments received to help identify issues, alternatives, and the appropriate level of environmental analysis necessary for the proposed land exchange. Please send written comments to:
