Abstract Long Description

This publication describes the specific actions that will implement the recommendations and requirements listed in the earlier Water Quality Improvement Plan. These actions are to be undertaken by the agencies of local and state governments and local watershed organizations.

Additionally, this implementation plan describes the various program oversight and enforcement roles of the EPA, Ecology, and the Washington Department of Agriculture. The Washington Department of Health (DOH) Office of Shellfish and Water Protection monitors water quality in South Skagit Bay to classify harvest areas for shellfish. DOH alerts commercial growers and watershed organizations about potential changes in harvest status when marine water quality improves or deteriorates.
