The water compact between the State of Montana and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) will result in operational changes at the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project (FIIP), which will impact off-season stock water availability. With these changes in mind, the Compact Implementation Technical Team (CITT) developed a new funding program for producers who rely on FIIP for the deliveries of stock water outside of the irrigation season. The grant program provides up to $4 million in awards.
