Public Herald has found that since 1948, in the name of conservation, the Montana government has been using a poison linked to Parkinson’s disease in lakes, ponds, and rivers across the state. FWP records obtained by Public Herald show that since 1948 Montana agencies have applied rotenone 253 times at more than 200 different water bodies, to an estimated length of 533 miles of surface water.
The Yellowstone series from Public Herald is investigating the pollution and treatment of waterways in Montana, and throughout the United States. If you have a story to share about water, contact our team. For more stories in this series subscribe to newsCOUP.
