management activities should be pursued on a basin-wide basis to adequately 

 mitigate or prevent water quality degradation. The following prioritization 

 of problem drainages reflects the severity of the watershed's cumulative 

 non-point problems where forestry activities have been a major contributor. 

 The order of listing individual watersheds does not necessarily indicate 

 prioritization within each group. 



Currently impacted watersheds needing immediate evaluation and 



mitigation/prevention planning: 



Fisher River 



Shields River 



Fish Creek (tributary to Clark Fork River) 



Thompson River 



Tobacco River 



Smith River 



Watersheds of potential impacts needing evaluation and prevention 



planning: 



Blackfoot River 



Yellowstone River 



Clearwater River 



Lolo Creek (tributary to Bitterroot River) 



Mainstem Clark Fork River (Middle) 



Upper Swan River 



Clark Fork River (Upper) - Little Blackfoot
