Among the more notable successes was the successful defeat of unscientific state legislation aiming to roll back strong, science-based standards for nutrient pollution control and successful petition to EPA to uphold the federal Clean Water Act. Waterkeeper also partnered with senior water rights holders and generational ranchers to hold local government accountable to examine the offsite impacts of unfettered groundwater pumping, including protection of family farms, water rights, and headwater fishery habitat. 10 10 4 400 0 356546 639370 0 5701 9890 0 362247 649260 0 0 195468 257582 0 48786 56271 123912 251739 381494 110508 267766 341286 630001 4094 10216 337192 619785 UPPER MISSOURI WATERKEEPER PROTECTS FISHABLE, SWIMMABLE, DRINKABLE WATER THROUGHOUT THE 25,000 SQUARE MILES OF MONTANA'S UPPER MISSOURI RIVER BASIN OF MONTANA.

First, the science program launched the Save Wild Trout campaign, a public-private partnership formed in response to disclosure that SW Montana wild trout fisheries were at unprecedented, 40-year lows. This campaign aims to characterize leading river quality parameters known to affect trout populations: dissolved oxygen and temperature, and to advocate for improved management and restoration tactics to build population resiliency. Waterkeeper's advocacy program secured a precedent setting victory that reduced the amount of nutrient pollution allowed to waterways and reinforced the legal requirement of government review of cumulative impacts of point-source pollution discharges. 302465 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false true true false false X Posey LLC 4066004745 2582 West Cameron Bridge Road Bozeman MT 59718 Guy Alsentzer Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 130333 0 27681 Dan Armstrong Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Dawson Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Harley Harris Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Kleindel Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Melanie Kraft Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roland MacNichol Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian McGeehan Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Meisnner Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Becca Skinner Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Tubbs Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 130333 27681 1 false true false 0 639370 5365 639370 0 9890 9890 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 649260 9890 X 0 0 0 0 98537 63487 11683 23367 0 114379 93551 9274 11554 0 27680 20760 2768 4152 16986 12496 1724 2766 0 0 1368 1026 137 205 0 0 1165 1165 72317 72092 90 135 175 175 12670 8742 762 3166 0 0 9120 6840 912 1368 16842 16728 114 0 0 0 0 3312 3312 917 917 Dues and subcriptions 5886 3291 697 1898 Professional development 140 140 0 381494 302465 30243 48786 90604 128712 246155 126510 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24992 18777 4527 6215 368564 0 0 0 0 341286 630001 4094 10215 1 4094 10216 X 285434 590512 51758 29273 337192 619785 341286 630001 267766 14827 X false false false X 96553 224437 271103 356546 639370 1588009 0 0 96553 224437 271103 356546 639370 1588009 650178 937831 18 3476 9890 13384 0 0 1601393 0.58560 0.56250 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 15738 18777 -3039 9254 9254 6215 Rounding 1 1 X X false false false false false false false false false Guy Alsentzer Executive Dir. 103333 27000 27681 158014 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The draft Form 990 is provided to the Board of Directors.
