Stillaguamish Tribe: 



Compiling information on land-use in the Stillaguanush watershed. 

 Land-use directly affects water quality cind quantity in the 

 Stillaguamish basin. Information on land-use within the watershed is 

 scattered among many departments in county government, with no 

 central location for the information. The tribe is beginning to compile 

 this information, enter it into a database and begin mapping all land- 

 uses within the watershed. The data will eventually be entered into a 

 GIS. This information will be used to give a detailed description of 

 land allocation witfun the river system and indicate where problems 

 with water quality could be occurring. 



The tribe is working in conjunction with the Tulalip Tribes to begin 

 water quality morutoring on the north and south fork of the 

 Stillaguamish River. The tribe is awaiting the completion of water 

 quality lab facilities, which should be completed by March 20, 1992. 



Completed on-reservation water conservation project that included 

 installation of low-flow toilets, faucet aerators and low-flow shower 

 heads. 



Establishing database of all water rights applied for and/or granted in 

 the Stillaguamish basin. 



Compiled all well logs that pertain to the watershed. Will be entering 

 logs into a database. The logs show public systems with fewer than six 

 connections. Those with more than six connections should be indicated 

 on water rights application. 



Recorded water rights have been plotted on maps. These show 

 withdrawal type (irrigation, domestic, etc.) and indicate study sites 

 that would be affected during serious drawdown.
