Progress
The Okanogan Conservation District, as the designated Lead Agency, submitted an application for Phase 1 funding on in August 2003 to begin watershed planning. A grant agreement was signed and awarded on December 29, 2003. Under this Phase 1 grant, the scope of work is to establish the needed structure, processes, and detailed scope of work to ensure that this watershed planning effort results in all parties acting in unison to manage the water and fishery resources of WRIA 49. Phase 1 is expected to be completed in one year.Studies or data relevant to planning for this area
