North Fork Palouse River Fecal Coliform Water Quality Improvement Project

(Also known as Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL)

 

The north fork of the Palouse River is a sub-watershed within the larger Palouse River basin.  The River has high levels of fecal coliform bacteria, which violates the State water quality standards.  A Water Cleanup Plan (or TMDL) has been developed for this area to help manage water quality on a watershed scale to prevent the loss of beneficial uses in the future.
