Progress
The Phase 2 Level 1 assessment is nearing completion. It provides a thorough review of available data and information associated with water quantity, quality and habitat. Many data gaps have been encountered that are vital to the development of management strategies during Phase 3. The Planning Unit intends to gather additional information during the Level 2 assessment, as well as supplemental storage and water quality assessments with grant funding received from Ecology. The Initiating Governments unanimously elected not to formally engage in the instream flow-setting element. Instream flows will be informally assessed and given consideration as an important component of the other elements.Studies or data relevant to planning for this area
