Solving Septic
Impacts in the Colville Watershed
Data from a water quality
improvement plan showed that failing septic systems were impacting some
streams in the Colville River Watershed. Ecology worked with the Stevens
County Conservation District and the Northeast Tri-County Health District to
get grant funds to homeowners to help fix their septic systems, which helped
reduce the fecal coliform bacteria load to the watershed.
