The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking comment on its proposal to help states along the upper Missouri River monitor for aquatic invasive species.
If approved, the agency could pay half the cost of certain programs within five states, including Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska.
The Corps participation in the regional coordination efforts could include everything from expanding the number of locations or hours of operation of AIS inspection stations, to adding canine detection, increasing public awareness, constructing site improvements, as well as augmenting existing monitoring efforts and response planning efforts, according to the agencyâs draft environmental assessment.
