The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) and the Methow Valley Irrigation District (MVID) have signed an agreement that settles all penalties and legal disputes outstanding since 2003.
In addition, the parties have agreed to a yearly schedule for incrementally reducing the amount of water the district will divert to improve streamflows, with a final required reduction to be achieved by the year 2016.
Under the terms of the agreement, lawsuits pending before the Court of Appeals, Okanogan County Superior Court, and the Pollution Control Hearings Board will be dismissed.
