We're Watching On Your Behalf The National Organization to Save Flathead Lake (NOSFL) continues to investigate the facts and find solutions to keep Flathead Lake at 2,983 feet from June 15 September 15. A Step in the Right Direction Energy Keepers, Inc., (EKI) the operators of the Seli's Ksanka Qlispe Dam in Polson, Montana, recently filed its report to federal regulators and stated in writing: "... during the spring months, we will manage the lake elevations as part of regional flood risk mitigation to manage runoff, meet Article 56 minimum flow objectives, and refill the Lake (near 2,893 feet) for summer recreation." Their latest forecast of inflows and outflows and Flathead Lake level projects the "...Lake level will be at 2893 feet for the entire summer recreation season." Giving Credit Where Credit is Due NOSFL commends EKI and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe (owner of the Dam) for adapting their management of the Lake level in anticipation of a potential drought this summer. They plan to limit the annual drawdown to help ensure Flathead Lake's level is maintained at or near full pool for the summer. Such actions are consistent with NOSFL's requests and former owners' Lake management. Further steps may be required to maintain the 2893-foot level. We commend EKI for making efforts to balance all stakeholders' interests including the environment, hydroelectric power, agriculture, recreation, fisheries and tourism, and to preserve the economy of Northwest Montana. As an official intervenor, NOSFL will continue to research the facts, offer solutions and hold Energy Keepers accountable for keeping the Lake full at 2,893 feet from June 15 - September 15.
