PORTFOLIO
RECREATION PLAN MISSOURI - MADISON COMPREHENSIVE RECREATION PLAN
PPL Montana has prepared this Plan as partial fulfillment of its license responsibilities to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for operating its eight hydroelectric-generating facilites and one storage reservoir on the Missouri and Madison Rivers in Montana. It is not the intent of PPL Montana or this plan to set public policy, but instead to work within the existing policies, plans and priorities of the various governmental entities that have management jurisdiction for recreation resources in this area. Neither is it the intent to replace the existing process of public involvement in the establishment of public plans and land management policies. The public is invited to participate in implementation of this Plan through regionally established working groups, the existing framework of managing agencies, and elected officials.
