Reservation, will not be affected. The canal is located on
the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, whose residents also
depend on the water source.
On May 17, a concrete drop structure on the 29-mile
canal collapsed. The Joint Board, Bureau of Reclamation
and Montana Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation assessed the damage 10 days after the
collapse.
On Wednesday, June 10, BOR announced that Drop
5, as well as the similar structure Drop 2, will be replaced.
The work was to begin Wednesday, June 17, Davies said.
Drop 2 has not collapsed, but plans to replace it in
anticipation of failure were already in the works before
the Drop 5 collapse. The other three drops are in better
condition, Davies said, having benefited from “various
degrees of maintenance.”
The price tag for replacing both drops is “very
roughly” $8.5 million, Davies said last Monday. DNRC
Director John Tubbs estimated the repair at about $8
million.
The St. Mary and Greater Milk River Project systems
have been in need of an overhaul for decades. On Nov.
18, 2003, then-Lt. Gov. Karl Ohs convened a meeting
in Havre to raise awareness about the urgent need to
rehabilitate the aging infrastructure.
Finding the estimated $200 million to complete the
task has been the barrier.
Seventy-five percent of the maintenance costs of
the system has been the responsibility of stakeholders
including irrigators, municipalities and individual
contractors from Havre to Glasgow. The remaining 25%
has been paid for with federal money.
In the case of these repairs, irrigators don’t have the
money to pay their share.
“It’s a very tough situation in terms of the need
versus the cost and affordability,” Davies said.
But that won’t stop the project from moving
forward. The state, through DNRC, has stepped up with
$10 million in bonding authority, Patrick said.
What Davies called a “complex” cost repayment
plan will be worked out while the work ensues.

The Joint Board has applied to be absolved of an
additional 35% of the cost, in hopes that the failure
qualifies stakeholders for emergency extraordinary
maintenance relief.
The problem hasn’t gone unnoticed by Montana’s
federal legislators.
Two days after the failure, Sen. Jon Tester, D-Big
Sandy, wrote to BOR Commissioner Brenda Burman,
emphasizing that water users should not be burdened
with an “unreasonable cost” as repairs commence.
“This is a cost Reclamation will need to shoulder, or
irrigators will have to choose between breaking the bank
on emergency repairs or not receiving enough water this
season,” Tester wrote.
On June 12, Rep. Greg Gianforte and Sen. Steve Daines,
both Republicans, co-wrote to Interior Department
Secretary David Bernhardt, asking him to “continue
monitoring reconstruction closely to ensure timely
completion.”
“The failure of Drop 5 poses a major threat to
agricultural users and the surrounding communities,”
Daines and Gianforte wrote. “For that reason, we
urge your full attention to this matter and request you
explore all possible options to reduce the impact felt by
Montanans.”
