WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT IMPACT ISSUES AND MITIGATION OPTIONS FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF U.S. HIGHWAY 93 ON THE FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION, MONTANA

Highway 93 is a major north-south federal highway, extending approximately 2,995 km (1,860 mi) from Jasper, Alberta southward through British Columbia, Montana, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona to its southern terminus at Phoenix. The highway's notoriety as an often slow, narrow, winding two-lane highway has been celebrated in a National Geographic Magazine article in 1992 and a 1995 Public Television Service documentary, along with countless articles, editorials and letters to editors. This paper examines the wildlife and wildlife habitat issues and mitigation proposals involved with the proposed reconstruction project for a 90.6 km (56.3 mi) segment of the highway located on the southern portion of the FlatHead Indian Reservation.
