Water Quality stories are grouped according to the Water Quality Program's
Five
Program Activities.
Some Stories may fall under more than one category, and are referenced
accordingly.
- Prevent Point Source Pollution
(excluding water cleanup, stormwater, and financial assistance)
- Vancouver Helps Protect Vancouver′s Water
(see also Reduce Nonpoint Source Pollution; Control Stormwater Pollution;
Provide Financial Assistance; and Cleanup Polluted Waters)

Cleaning up Salmon Creek: Stakeholder Commitment Makes a Difference
In 2001, a temperature and turbidity TMDL was approved for the Salmon Creek watershed in Clark County. Dedicated stakeholders have completed a number of implementation activities since 2001. A recent Ecology report analyzing 20 years of water quality data collected in the watershed indicates that the implementation activities have resulted in significant improvements in water quality.
