Abstract Long Description

The Department of Ecology's Environmental Investigations and Laboratory Services Program reviewed water quality information on the Western Olympic Water Quality Management Area (WQMA). The Western Olympic consists of the watersheds on the western slope of the Olympic Mountains and the entire Chehalis River basin including Grays Harbor.

The purpose of the review is to describe what is known about this region and identify water quality issues that may require monitoring or intensive studies over the next two years. This evaluation is part of an agency-wide scoping and data collection effort being done for the Water Quality Program's Watershed Approach to water quality management, a five-year process culminating in issuing water quality permits and implementing other pollution prevention and control actions.
