Deschutes TMDL Advisory Group

Ecology has begun work to develop a water cleanup plan (known as a Total Maximum Daily Load or TMDL) for the Deschutes watershed. We are forming an advisory group of interested businesses, environmental groups, governments, and local citizens who want to work towards improving the health of this watershed. This page contains links with more information related to this effort. These links will list who was invited to participate on the advisory group, who has expressed interest, and the expectations of participants.
