ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES 



As a result of Montana's growing awareness of environ- 

 mental stresses, the Fish and Game Commission created within 

 the department an Environmental Resources Division. The 

 division is to be concerned with the environmental aspects 

 of the fish and wildlife program. Fish and Game Commission 

 '.tiinutes state, "This division would assume the authority 

 for special planning projects such as the Smith River, 

 pollution, the administration of the stream preservation 

 law, review of water projects within the state, pesticides, 

 and other environmental problems as they arise."
