Background
The Lyre-Hoko planning group completed a near-final draft watershed plan that includes instream flow recommendations, which were approved in November 2005 by a majority vote. Since that time, it has become apparent that details on data and water supplies may need refinement. Local and state planners have continued working with the planning group through 2008 on a revised final draft. Public meetings were held in November 2008. The planning group will consider comments before voting on their final plan and forwarding it to the county commissioners for their review and adoption process.
There is interest in proceeding to Phase 4 after plan adoption.
Instream flow status
The Planning Group agreed to instream flow numbers and they plan to submit them to Ecology in their final plan. Ecology rule development will depend on availability of agency resources.
