Water Policy Committee 2007-08

The Water Policy Interim Committee (WPIC) is a joint bipartisan committee of the Legislature created by the passage of House Bill No. 304 (2007). The Legislature authorized the committee for the 2007-2008 biennium to conduct an interim study based on the provisions of HB 304, including surface water/ground water interaction, exempt wells, water quality and water quantity, and other water related issues that the committee deems important to review.

Note: Public comment is welcome on any issue covered by the WPIC. Comments may be emailed to Joe Kolman at jkolman@mt.gov.
