Governor Greg Gianforte is objecting to a U.S. government proposal to alter water releases from the Fort Peck Reservoir to help the dinosaur-like pallid sturgeon endangered fish species. The governor said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposal risks damaging croplands and irrigation systems downstream of the dam on the Missouri River. Army Corps officials said Thursday they were working on a detailed response to Gianforte’s concerns. A final decision is expected in November.
