Abstract	Long Description
	In 1998 the Guide to Watershed Planning and Management was developed to assist local planning units with planning under the newly passed Watershed Planning Act. Several developments since then have highlighted the need for further guidance to extend the content of the Guide to Watershed Planning and Management: Amendments to Chapter 90.82 Revised Code of Washington (RCW) during the 2001 Legislative Session (House Bill (HB) 1832); Experiences of the many Planning Units throughout the state that have made progress on organization, assessment, and plan development, since publication of the 1999 manual; and, Developments on related laws and programs such as efforts oriented at salmon recovery throughout the state. Based on this need, Ecology and the Steering Committee oversaw development of this Addendum. The purpose of the Addendum is to update information in the original manual, and to bring new information and experience to the attention of local Planning Units engaged in watershed planning under WMA. The Addendum document includes the following sections: Section 2: Recent Developments Relevant to Watershed Planning Section 3: Coordination with Related Planning Activities Section 4: Strategies for Managing Water Quantity Section 5: Description of Ongoing Watershed Planning Efforts Section 6: Additional Topics of Interest to Planning Units
