During the early years of the New Deal in the 1930s, water conservation funds became
available to the states from the federal government. To take advantage of this opportunity,
a special session of the Montana Legislative Assembly convened in late 1933 and created the
State Water Conservation Board to channel both state and federal money into small irrigation
projects. An individual farmer who wanted to build and irrigation facility petitioned the
Board and, if his proposal was accepted, the Board built the project and the farmer
reimbursed the state. By 1952, the State Water Conservation Board had built 173 projects
throughout the state.
In 1965, the Board assumed the functions of the State Engineer and the Carey Land Act Board.
In 1967, the Montana Water Resources Board was created to assume the duties of the State
Water Conservation Board, and to coordinate all water resource development programs around
the state. Other duties included the administration of weather modification laws and the
preparation of a comprehensive inventory of the state's water resources and a multiple use
water plan for the state.
In 1971, as part of the general reorganization of state government, the Water Resources
Board was abolished and its functions taken over in 1972 by the Water Resources Division of
the Department of Natural Resources and by the Board of Natural Resources and
Conservation.
The Montana Board of Natural Resources and Conservation (BNRC) was a citizen board
appointed by the Governor. It oversaw the implementation of legislation regulating natural
resource and conservation issues. Two major tasks of the BNRC were water reservation rulings
provided for by the Montana Water Use Act of 1973 (which created singular changes in water
reservations on Montana watercourses) and the approval of siting and construction of energy
generating and conservation facilities and large transmission lines as mandated by the Major
Facilities Siting Act. In 1995, the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation was
reorganized and the BNRC was eliminated.
Records include minutes, 1934-1995 (1934-1971 same as SMFiche 2); resolutions, 1934-1965
(same as SMFiche 2); indexes to minutes, 1934-1994 (1934-1971 same as SMFiche 2); meeting
files, 1987-1995; minutes of the Irrigation District Bond Commission, 1921-1926; easements
by the State Water Conservation Board, 1963-1964; a District Court transcript, 1940, in the
case of Allendale Irrigation Company vs. the State Water Conservation Board; accounting
reports, 1968-1970, of the Montana Water Resources Board; a summary of activities,
1934-1935, of the State Water Conservation Board; a hearing transcript, 1969, of the South
Pine Controlled Ground Water Hearing held in Miles City (same as SMFiche 2); miscellaneous
correspondence, 1964-1992; lists of members of the board, 1971-1990; an information packet
for the board, 1989; "action items" packets for the board, 1983-1994; and several
miscellaneous files from the director of the DNRC, 1971-1987.

The Montana Historical Society is the owner of the materials in the Library & Archives and
makes available reproductions for research, publication, and other uses. Written permission
must be obtained from the Library & Archives before any reproduction use. The Society does not
necessarily hold copyright to all of the materials in the collections. In some cases,
permission for use may require seeking additional authorization from the copyright owners.
In 2024, the various collections of the Montana Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation were integrated under one collection identifier, RS 496, in order to help
facilitate access, reduce redundancy in the MTHS catalog, and to follow best archival
practices.
Collections from Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation's various
Divisions and Bureaus that were previously treated as separate entities are now integrated
into this collection, RS 496. Rather than reprocessing over 300
linear feet of DNRC materials, MTHS staff decided to keep the past arrangement of those
collections/finding aids, and provide access to them via links through the central finding
aid. This decision has allowed the MTHS archival staff to maintain intellectual control over
the collection, while removing the need to reprocess it. It also keeps State Agency finding
aids at manageable sizes. Please read the scope and content note carefully to determine if
this subgroup/sub-subgroup pertains to your research needs.
