1.      Watershed Plan 

q       The Planning Unit finished its review of all the water quality options except for stormwater options.  The stormwater options will be reviewed when experts from DOT and Ecology can attend a meeting.

q       Preliminary draft water quality recommendations were developed and are attached as a separate document.

q       Comments on all the options are due to Susan by the end of June. 

 

2.      Hydro-Geo Study

q       NW Land and Water has requested authorization to spend the final $5,000 of their contingency funds for geo-chemical analysis.  The Planning Unit would like some more information on what they’ve learned to date and the value of the additional analysis.
