Okanogan Watershed Plan
The Okanogan Conservation District is the lead entity for the development of the Okanogan Watershed Plan as appointed by the three Initiating Governments. The Initiating Governments by statute (RCW 90.82) are Okanogan County, City of Omak, and the Oroville-Tonasket Irrigation District.
The District coordinates the activities of the Planning Unit which is comprised of local citizens who are irrigators, business owners, recreationalists, environmentalists, and others. The Planning Unit is tasked with developing series of recommendations on how policy and decision makers should manage water in the Okanogan River Watershed in Washington State.
The Planning Unit began the process in 2004 and has recently completed a draft plan. The draft plan was submitted to the Okanogan County Commissioners on June 22, 2009. The Commissioners will hold a public review process where community members may comment on the plan directly to the Commissioners. After public review the Commissioners will have a choice of three decisions. They may accept the plan as presented to them by the Planning Unit, they may outright reject the plan as presented to them, or they may send the plan back to the Planning Unit requesting further revision based upon public comment.
Due to extremely tight budgets hard copies of the plan will only be available at public libraries and the Okanogan Conservation District office. However, you may download, read, or print sections of the plan by clicking on appropriate links below. Every chapter and appendix submited to the Commissioners as part of the plan are listed below for your review.
If you have questions about the project please call Bob Clark at the District office at (509) 422-0855 ext. 122.
