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.
