d" In areas of granitic soil, stream.s can be "clear as gin," and still carry a bedload of tiny pebbles that 

 can destroy a fishery, according to Dennis Workman, regional fisheries manager, Region 2, Montana 

 Department of Fish. Wildlife and Parks (personal interview, October, 1990).

 March 7, 1985. 



69. Former members of the Rock Creek Advisory Committee were first told that records had been lost dur- 

 ing personnel changes, though Salomonsen, in his letter of March 27, called those losses 'minimal " 



"0. Or\'ille Daniels. Though members of the Rock Creek Advisory Committee abhorred Saiomonsen's tactics, 

 many still believe his budgetary concerns were valid: the cost of monitoring should not be born by the 

 forests, they say, but sh^iuld be factored into the sale price of timber in the Rock Creek drainage. Monitor- 

 ing is, after all, as much a cost of doing business in the drainage today as growing trees or building road.^

"5. The Rock Creek Advisory Committee objected to what members called "experimenting" with monitoring 

 techniques. Forest Service scientists responded that enough baseline data had been collected on pH, 

 specific conductance and metals. They argued monitoring for chemical pollutants should resume only 

 when a mining project is proposed. They said regular monitoring should concentrate on stream flow, 

 suspended sediment and bedload sediment. (Fisheries in the Rock Creek drainage are most likely to 

 be harmed, they said, when streambed pebbles and sands are covered by fine dirt.) See Montana Depart- 

 ment of Fish, Wildlife and Parks memo of meeting with Tim Sullivan, Deerlodge hydrologist and former 

 members of the Rock Creek Advisory Committee, August 7, 1985

 Creek. The conservation groups that filed the appeal are now known as the Deerlodge Conservation 

 Coalition.
