LEWISTON – The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking representatives to fill four vacancies on the Clearwater River Upper Tributaries Watershed Advisory Group (WAG).
The four vacancies are for mining, environmental, livestock and agriculture interests.
The Clearwater River Upper Tributaries WAG is comprised of a group of citizens dedicated to the successful restoration and protection of the upper tributaries of the Clearwater River, which include Jim Ford Creek, Orofino Creek, and Lolo Creek watersheds. These watersheds cover Clearwater and Idaho counties, from which the watershed advisory group seeks to have representation.
The WAG advises DEQ on water quality improvement plans called total maximum daily loads and provides guidance on how to implement water quality improvements in these watersheds.
Anyone interested in serving on the WAG as a representative of the above interest groups should contact Cierra Stokes at (208) 799-4370 or cierra.stokes@deq.idaho.gov by 5 pm on February 21, 2025.
