Abstract Long Description

This State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) has been prepared to assist Ecology, other participating agencies and entities, and the public in evaluating conceptual approaches to the development of a Watershed Restoration Program for Ahtanum Creek.

The creek and its associated watershed are currently experiencing significant problems associated with habitat degradation, low stream flows, and inadequate supplies of water for irrigation. Over the past several years, Ecology and a number of tribal, federal, state, and local agencies and entities have been working together to identify the most appropriate methods for addressing those problems.
