Prairie County
Conservation District
About
The Prairie County Conservation District was formed on 12/14/1976 and is located in Terry, Montana.
This district does stream permitting, in accordance with 310 Law. The district also holds a water reservation. The district has also assisted with range monitoring for success.
Montana’s conservation districts partner with private landowners to keep our land and water healthy for the next generation. Led and staffed by locals, conservation districts champion balanced conservation solutions for those that they serve.
What We Do
Stream Permitting
The Prairie County Conservation District administers the Natural Streambed and Land Preservation Act, also known as the “310 Law” on all perennial streams within its jurisdiction, including the Yellowstone River. Any person or entity proposing construction on these waterbodies must seek a permit from the district. There is a joint application form that can also be used for other required permits.
Water Reservation
The Prairie County Conservation District holds a water reservation with 9,419 acre-feet and 53.67 cubic feet per second allocated and 59,048 acre-feet and 499.03 cubic feet per second remaining for future use. Individuals within the district can apply for agricultural use, specifically irrigation. To date, 16 individuals/entities have been authorized to use water within the reservation.
