Copies of Glacier National Park's environmental assessment for the Rose Creek Fish Barrier Removal and Bridge Replacement project are available for public review and comment. Comments are due Jan. 23.

The Park is proposing to remove an abandoned weir on lower Rose Creek, just above the Rising Sun Campground. and the Rose Creek Bridge. Both actions would restore access to historic spawning and rearing habitat for native fish and improve stream flow and sediment transport along lower Rose Creek.

The EA is available online at www.parkplanning.nps.gov/RoseCreek. Comments can be submitted through the Website or can be mailed to Superintendent, Glacier National Park, Attn: Rose Creek EA, West Glacier MT 59936.
