Sub-Basin Planning

Six fish and wildlife plans (also known as "sub-basin plans") were developed for the following "sub-basins" (commonly known as watersheds): Wenatchee, Entiat, Lake Chelan, Methow, Okanogan, and the main stem of the Columbia River from Wanapum Dam to the Chief Joseph Dam. Sub-basin plans were submitted to the Northwest Power and Conservation Council on May 28, 2004. Douglas County working with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife developed the Upper Middle Mainstem Sub-basin Plan. All sub-basin plans for the Columbia River Basin are posted at http://www.nwcouncil.org/fw/subbasinplanning/.

These sub-basin plans will identify and provide the basis for prioritizing project proposals to be submitted to the Northwest Power and Conservation Council in future funding cycles and will be used, potentially, for salmon recovery planning in North Central Washington. Douglas County will be working closely and in partnership with existing planning efforts in the region including Foster Creek/Moses Coulee Watershed Planning, Lead Entities and Salmon Recovery Planning in order to integrate the activities of each and reduce duplication of work already being done in the region.
