. Biennial report, Montana Game and Fish Commission, State of Montana. Montana Fish and Game Commission; Game protection; Wildlife conservation; Fisheries. Freezeout Lake showing drainage ditch constructed in this largest waterfowl habitat development project yet undertaken by the Fish and Game Department. The development of the combination waterfowl management and public hunting area at Freezeout Lake, includes five major steps. 1. Acquisition or control of lands necessary to the project. 2. Assurance of an adequate source of water. 3. Construction of the outlet channel. 4. Dike and pond construction for marsh development. 5. Management of the land, water, vegetation, waterfowl and public hunting. 1. Acquisition The Montana Fish and Game Department acquired control of lands essential to the project prior to development. About two-thirds of the area were public lands set aside for sump use. These lands were placed under State administration by agreement with the Greenfields Irrigation District and the Bureau of Reclamation. Most of the re- maining lands were purchased by the Fish and Game Department. This included waste land, grazing land and some crop land. 2. Source of Water The major source of water for the diked impoundment at Freezeout Lake will be waste water and drainage water from the Greenfields Irrigation Project. This is supplemented by a considerable flow of natural runoff water which enters the lake from the surrounding heavy soil basin. These waters, under management, will now be put to beneficial use where previously they were causing material damage. — 35 —.
