Lake Koocanusa Selenium Levels Unchanged

Selenium levels in Lake Koocanusa have been a concern for the Lincoln County Commissioners. The water in the Lake comes from the Kootenai River out of Canada, making it a joint-decision between our 2-counties.

A petition to modify those standards has been denied by DEQ. 30-days of Public Comment yielded over 300-comments from local businesses, state agencies, the tribes and even the EPA.

Canada and U-S agencies continue to work with the International Joint Commission Governance Body and Study Board mitigating the impacts of water pollution.
