"Gov. Gianforte Takes Action to Address Record Low Flathead Lake Levels"
Montana Governor Greg Gianforte has formally requested the Columbia River Technical Management Team (TMT) to address the low water levels in Flathead Lake. The governor expressed frustration with the lack of responsiveness from federal agencies and urged the TMT to act without delay. This is the first System Operational Request (SOR) submitted in response to drought conditions in the Flathead Valley. U.S. Senator Steve Daines and Congressman Ryan Zinke have expressed support for the governor's request.
