| Short Description |
The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) has completed a draft of the Water Cleanup Plan to reduce or eliminate bacteria contamination in the tributaries that feed the Snohomish River. The tributaries are Quilceda and Allen Creeks, French Creek, the Marshland Basin, the Pilchuck River, and Woods Creek. The cleanup plan was developed with input from tribes, local governments, and interested citizens in order to meet federal total maximum daily load (TMDL) requirements.

| Abstract | Long Description |
The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) has completed a draft of the Water Cleanup Plan to reduce or eliminate bacteria contamination in the tributaries that feed the Snohomish River. The tributaries are Quilceda and Allen Creeks, French Creek, the Marshland Basin, the Pilchuck River, and Woods Creek. The cleanup plan was developed with input from tribes, local governments, and interested citizens in order to meet federal total maximum daily load (TMDL) requirements. You are invited to comment on the plan from December 27, 2000, until January 31, 2001. Once the public comment period has ended and Ecology determines how to incorporate the input it receives, the agency will submit the plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. Upon approval by EPA, Ecology will work with tribes, local government, organizations, and interested citizens on how to best implement the plan. This detailed planning effort will be coordinated with other activities currently underway or planned for Snohomish River tributary watersheds. |
