This rule-making will create Chapter 173-528, WAC Water Resources Management
Program for the Salmon-Washougal Basin. Instream flows will be proposed for the
Washougal River, and Salmon, Burnt Bridge, and Lacamas creeks. Instream flows
may also be proposed for a number of other tributaries within the watershed
where habitat studies exist. Where appropriate, closures to future appropriation
will also be established in rule. The rule language will provide for water
supply reservations and will set up requirements to accessing the reservation in
order to promote protection of future supply and instream values. Clark County
portions of the reserve will be transferred from WAC Chapter 173-592
(Reservation of future public water supply for Clark County) in the amount
recommended by Watershed Plan for specific subbasins. After transfer, WAC
Chapter 173-592 will be repealed in its entirety.
