The results can be used by local planners and decision-makers to inform land use planning and policy decisions while helping minimize negative environmental impacts from land use changes. Completing this work is a key near-term action in the Puget Sound Action Agenda.
The Water Flow and Water Quality Assessments are available from links provided in the tables below. This includes the final guidance document and methods, PDF maps of the water assessment results and their associated GIS data files. The Fish and Wildlife Assessments will be available in June.
