Projects for Water Quality and Quantity
Washington Water Quality Needs Assessment

Coordinated team of 25 state specialists for the Department of Ecology in $500,000+ project to develop comprehensive inventory (over 2,000 projects in the relational database, based on extensive surveying) of Washington's 7-year water quality protection needs, including annual cost estimates. Categories included were: Municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, urban stormwater, on-site waste disposal, agricultural pollution control, forest practices, lake restoration, shellfish protection, groundwater protection, surface water quality, and water quality monitoring and laboratory needs. Worked with statewide citizens' advisory committee and technical advisory committee to develop criteria to prioritize funding allocations for those needs. Assisted in developing Ecology staffing plan to administer the program. Back to the project list.
