TOTALS 118,788 27,153 54,800 



* Totals here refer to acres of wetlands in addition to those already recommended 

 for fee. For maximum acres available for easement, see Table 1. 



** Approximately 5,000 acres of wetlands recommended for easement in Glacier 

 County are found on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation and would be under the 

 same constraints as fee areas in Glacier County. 



*** State approval for easements in Lake County will be requested, but the same 

 constraints that apply to Glacier County also are in effect in Lake County. 

 However, all wetlands recommended are found on the Flathead Indian Reservation. 



**** The easement acreages recommended in Phillips County would be much higher except 

 that many thousands of acres of wetlands are found on Bureau of Land Management 

 lands. These wetlands are of low vulnerability, but it is recommended that the 

 Bureau of Land Management be notified of the Service's assumption that the 

 integrity of wetlands found on Public Land will be protected. 



( ) Acres of wetlands found on Indian reservations in respective county that are 

 delineated for easement.
