310 PERMITS

What is a 310 Permit?

Montana’s Natural Streambed and Land Preservation Act of 1975, commonly referred to as the 310 Law, requires that any person or entity proposing to work in or near a perennially-flowing stream on public on private land must first obtain a 310 permit from the local Conservation District. The purpose of the law is to minimize soil erosion and sedimentation, and to protect and preserve streams in their natural or existing state.

Why get a 310 Permit?

A 310 Permit is required if you are planning a project including construction of new facilities or modification, operation and maintenance of an existing facility that may affect the natural existing shape and form of any stream, its banks or its tributaries.

Any private entity or non-governmental individual that proposes to work in or near a stream on public or private land must obtain a 310 permit prior to any activity in or near perennially flowing stream.

Where do you get a 310 Permit?

You can come pick up a permit at the Garfield County Conservation District Office at 307 Main Street Jordan, MT 59337 or visit the DNRC Website for the application.

You can also visit the Gilly website to fill out the application online, this would be the ideal way for us and for you to fill out the form because you can fill it all in with just some Wi-Fi and turn it in on the website without having to come to the office.
