Legals for January, 18 2023

No. 29146 LEGAL NOTICE Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking public comment on a draft development plan for Somers Beach State Park on Flathead Lake. The plan proposes a variety of new recreational amenities at the 106-acre park on the north shore near Somers. The options include common features, such as restrooms, drinking water, and host sites, that provide for public safety, operational efficiency, and site stewardship, like most state parks. Additional proposals are grouped into two alternatives that offer different levels of development of land-based and water-based amenities throughout the site. These include overnight accommodations, launch sites for hand-carried boats, and picnic and group-use shelters, among others. A third “No Action” alternative would keep the current minimal site setup. These options are outlined in a draft environmental assessment that is open to public comment for 30 days through Feb. 13, 2023. Comments can be submitted online at https://fwp.mt.gov/news/public-notices, or in writing to Somers Beach State Park Development Proposal EA; Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks; 490 N. Meridian Road; Kalispell, MT 59901, or via e-mail to Stevie.Burton@mt.gov A printed copy of the EA is available upon request. FWP will host a virtual informational meeting on January 24, 2023 to explain the development options and answer questions. Information on this meeting is posted online on the Somers State Park planning project page at https://fwp.mt.gov/stateparks/somers-beach-planning-project.
