Chapter 173–518 WAC - Dungeness instream resources protection and watershed
management
program - WRIA 18 - New rule
The Elwha Dungeness Water Inventory Resource Area is one of the only
designated “water-critical” watersheds in western Washington without an
instream flow rule. This new rule is needed to:
- Fulfill the
statutory requirements of Chapters 90.54 and 90.82 RCW;
- Implement those
obligations Ecology agreed to in the watershed plan that must be addressed
through regulations;
- Protect instream resources and ESA-listed fish;
- Allow
Ecology to proceed with water right decisions; and
- Provide a quantity of
ground water and set up a framework in order to implement the watershed
plan’s management strategies.
