 Rock Creek Drainage," April 11, 1973. The subcommittee also proposed that the Lolo and Deerlodge 

 forests share one Environmental Impact Statement, which not only would ensure ecologically sound 

 coordination for the drainage but also would save the Forest Service 150,000.

 streams. Monitors would measure suspended bedload, turbidity, temperature, conductance and pH.
