The Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, and Idaho Department of Fish and Game will be adding liquid nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) to the Kootenai River. The discharge point will be at the Idaho-Montana border, near Leonia, MT. The treatment dates will be approximately July 13 to the 30th of September, 2005. The effective treatment distance will be to Bonners Ferry, Idaho. The nitrogen solution consists of urea-ammonium-nitrate and the phosphorus solution is a mixture of ammonium-polyphosphate. In order to allow proper mixing for safe drinking water, water should not be taken from the river within 100 yards of the discharge point; swimming should not occur within 50 yards of the discharge pipe. Location of the discharge point will be clearly marked for those boating nearby (approx. 200 meters below Leonia Bridge). Boating activities will not be affected. Call Charlie Holderman (208.267.3620), Kootenai Tribe, project manager, or Ryan Hardy (208.769.1414), project co-manager, Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game for further details about the project.
