Current Rule Making

Chapter 173-526 WAC - Cowlitz Instream Resources Protection and Water Management Program - WRIA 26 - New Rule

This new rule will establish the amount of water (“instream flow”) that would protect and preserve flow-dependent resources such as fish, wildlife, recreation, water quality, navigation and aesthetics for the Cowlitz river. This rule will also establish reservations for future water supply for specific purposes and geographical areas, closures, and the administration of future water allocation and use. A maximum allocation limit will be set to determine the amount of water available for appropriation from streams within the watershed when flows in these streams exceed the instream flows set in rule.
