IIRC, the TV show Wardens (Montana), got a ticket from the USFS for not having a film permit. I’m not sure if they gave FWP a ticket too, but that would be hilarious.
I don’t know much about water rights but I find it hard to believe that the cost of water rights to be used in the area they are attached to is more than building a pipeline. I would think the market for these rights isn’t great as agricultural lands in the valley for them to be used on is...
What happens to all the water rights attached to the land being consumed by development in the Gallitan Valley? Isn’t a lot of the flood and sprinkler irrigated?
