The
Watershed Management Plan
The Watershed Plan
will be the blueprint for managing water resources in WRIA 1, outlining
policies and programs to manage water supplies,
protect water quality, and restore fish habitat. In March 2005, the Planning
Unit approved the Watershed Plan. After a public comment period, the
plan was approved by the Whatcom County Council in June 2005.
For ease in downloading,
the Watershed Plan is available in Adobe Acrobat format in separate
