| Content
on this page is provided for informational purposes while the Pend Oreille River and Tributaries Watershed Advisory Group (WAG) and DEQ
work to develop a water quality improvement plan or "Total
Maximum Daily Loads" (TMDLs) for water bodies in the watershed
found to be not fully supporting beneficial uses.
Note:
All of these documents are considered draft
and are subject to change. The goal of providing these documents
at WAG meetings and on this web page is to ensure citizens have
the opportunity to provide input as the documents are developed.

Pend Oreille Tributary
Working Group Meeting |
Pend Oreille River TMDL
Watershed Advisory Group Meeting |
The public comment period for the
tributary TMDLs ended October 4,
2007. The TMDLs have also been
reviewed by the tributary working
group and have been sent tothe EPA for approval. No further meetings are scheduled at this time.
