Spokane River Dissolved Oxygen TMDL Collaboration home > Workgroups

Workgroups

In February 2005, public and private dischargers began a dialogue about how an acceptable Spokane River TMDL Implementation Plan might be developed.  A wide range of parties, including local governments; the State of Idaho; the Spokane Tribe of Indians; environmental groups; power companies; Ecology; and the dischargers, participated in Full Group discussions that focused on identifying specific pound-for-pound phosphorus reduction methods. The discussion was called the Spokane River TMDL Collaboration.

Four workgroups were created: Technology, Wastewater Flows and Loading, Reuse & Conservation, and Non-Point Sources, to discuss and recommend to the Full Group how both points sources (dischargers) and non-point sources (runoff, septic tanks, etc.) of pollution can be effectively managed to reduce pounds of phosphorus reaching the river.
