Hoh Tribe: 



Purchased water quality investigation equipment. 



Conducted an in-depth water temperature study of eight streams 

 within the tribe's area of concern to analyze the effects of logging on 

 water temperature. The study will be incorporated into the Sensitive 

 Issues Action Plan for the Hoh River basin, an inter-agency resource 

 management plan. The Washington State Department of Ecology 

 (DOE), Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Department of 

 Fisheries (WDF), Washington Environmental Council (WEC), and the 

 Hoh Tribe are cooperators in this plan. The study utilizes thermal 

 pollution sttmdards developed by EPA. 



Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe: 



Staff Reorganization: Existing staff was assigned to water resources 

 issues. New staff was hired to backfill previous assigrunents in 

 fisheries management. 



PIE Grant: The tribe secured a $20,000 Public Involvement and 

 Education grant from the Puget Sound Water Quality Authority to 

 prepare educational materials for a "State of the Dungeness River" 

 presentation. 



Participation on Community Watershed Planning and Growth 

 Management Committees: The tribe has actively participated on the 

 Sequim and Dungeness Watershed N/lanagement committees and the 

 Clallam County Critical Areas Committee. 



Dungeness/Quilcene Water Resources Pilot Project: The tribe 

 successfully nominated the Dungeness/Northeast Olympic Peninsula 

 region as a water resource pilot project under the Chelan Agreement. 

 Using a combination of EPA and DOE support, the tribe has acted as 

 the interim coordinating entity for the project on behalf of the two 

 tribes, two counties, two cities and two utility districts. 



The tribe is coordinating with the Point No Point Treaty Council on 

 two planning efforts that will assist in development of a water quality 

 work plan for the Jamestown S'Klallam Primary Area. The first project, 

 funded through the state Centennial Clean Water Fund, involves 

 water quality monitoring in the Point No Point Treaty Area. The 

 second project is being conducted as part of the implementation of the 

 Strait of Juan de Fuca Management Plan. As part of this effort, the 

 tribe is developing water quality and fisheries habitat profiles for each 

 Strait of Juan de Fuca tributary. The profiles will outline habitat 

 conditions, problem areas and potential actions.
