Ecology's Lake Restoration Program

(Excerpt from "1994 Statewide Water Quality Assessment Report-Lakes Chapter" by J. Rector and D. Hallock; Updated April, 1997.)

Washington has coordinated a lake restoration program since 1976. The passage of Referendum 26 in 1972 and Referendum 39 in 1980 provided over $25 million of state funding for lake water quality improvement projects. With the passage of the Centennial Clean Water Fund (CCWF) legislation in 1986, additional lake funding was assured through 1993. In 1994, special categories (including the lakes category) were eliminated, leaving only the activities and facilities categories. Currently, Phase I projects compete for funding under the activities category, and Phase II projects compete either in the activities or the facilities category.

Washington's lake restoration program parallels the federal Clean Water Act Section 314 Clean Lakes Program. All projects are initiated at the grass roots level, and a public entity must serve as the local sponsor and provide at least 25% of the total project cost. Projects have been funded with state agencies, Indian tribes, municipalities, and county governments. Lake restoration projects at 45 lakes have been funded by Ecology since the funding program began. Lake restoration projects at 18 lakes have been funded through the federal Clean Lakes Program.
