Missoula County Commissioners are expected to consider an emergency proclamation on Tuesday regarding hazardous waste entering the Clark Fork River.

The agenda for the meeting gives no specifics on the resolution.

NBC Montana has been covering volunteer efforts that have now removed 40 tons of garbage from around the Reserve Street Bridge.

The state is filing a lawsuit against Missoula County and a number of homeless people. Volunteers are trying to keep waste from endangering habitat.

There is an earlier public working group meeting, online, at 9 a.m. that is creating a plan for the watershed areas. The group will also discuss possible plans to transform the area for the public good.

These organizers call this an environmental disaster, and are encouraging the public and officials to join the meeting.
