Short Description

The Washington State Department of Ecology is establishing a total maximum daily load (TMDL) for fecal coliform bacteria in the Little Bear Creek stream network. This TMDL (or Water Cleanup Plan) will address impairments of the beneficial uses of the Little Bear Creek stream network.

Implementation of the Little Bear Creek Water Cleanup Plan relies on support for continuation of existing water quality sampling programs to assist source identification and water quality trend monitoring, expansion of existing monitoring programs, special sampling surveys to help identify and correct local bacteria sources, and government as well as individual and community support to correct known poor management practices that contribute bacteria to Little Bear Creek and its tributaries.
