The board read a letter to the Bureau of Reclamation supporting the Pennington Bridge restoration near Twin Bridges, noting county partnership with the Big Hole Watershed Committee and an approximate county contribution of $30,000 toward the project.

Madison County approved an extension request for a Renewable Resource Grant to advance design and permit work for the Big Hole River restoration project and clarified the county will act as the WaterSMART federal grant applicant/financial pass-through for the watershed group.
