Abstract Long Description

The Western Washington Instream Resources Protection Program develops instream resources protection measures under the authority of Chapter 90.54 RCW (Water Resources Act of 1971), Chapter 90.22 RCW (Minimum Water Flows and Levels), and Chapter 173-500 WAC (Water Resources Management Program) for the 26 water resource inventory areas (WRIAs) found in Western Washington. The Washington Department of Ecology has formed a multidisciplinary, interagency team to develop information for determining the measures necessary to protect the instream resources in the Nisqually River Basin (WRIA 11). This planning effort also involved private, public, county, tribal, and federal agency coordination. It has resulted in administrative rules designed to protect instream flow levels and minimize adverse impacts that could result from future water appropriations within the Nisqually River Basin.
