identify as needing help. Each state must provide for the implementation of 

 measures in conformity with detailed guidance related to agricultural, urban, 

 and forestry runoff, marinas, dams, levees, and shoreline erosion. 



Strsamwalk Program 



EPA is now designing a database and data retrieval system to support citizen 

 monitoring of the aquatic and riparian environment throughout the Pacific 

 states. It is developing a list of variables, a field protocol, a monitoring 

 plan describing frequencies and locations, and instructions on recording, 

 managing and retrieving data. The agency is designing a regional GIS database 

 to which physical and chemical data can be attached. The database will be 

 compatible with technical criteria set forth by the Adopt-a-Stream Foundation, 

 although EPA will require fewer variables to be measured than the Foundation.

HMFS's Regional Office and Northwest Fisheries Science Center are located in 

 Seattle. There is also a research station in Manchester, Washington. The 

 agency performed a key part of the research in the smolt survival study using 

 its marine netpene (Schroder and Fresh 1992). NMFS also regulates domestic 

 fisheries in the 3-to-200-mile U.S. fishing xone through the PFMC.

The DSACE civil works mission is primarily navigation and flood control but 

 also development of water supply. Water resource development activities 

 assigned to the Corps in the Chehalis Area are administered by the Seattle 

 District. These projects and the procedures leading up to them are described 

 in a recent review (USACE 1991). The DSACE is also responsible for protecting 

 wetlands under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors of 1899 and Section 404 of 

 the Clean Water Act. 



Navigation 



Grays Harbor navigational channel dredging for widening and deepening is 

 nearing completion; all dredging is complete, but a railroad bridge still 

 needs to be widened. Fish and crab mitigation is in place and under 

 evaluation. Maintenance dredging will be ongoing. 



Flood Control and Floodolain Management 



A 4.2-mile levee is planned for Cosmopolis to Aberdeen, with mitigation by 

 installation of one floodgate and upgrading four existing floodgates for fish 

 passage into south bank streams, and wetland creation to replace levee fill. 



DSACE is presently planning a floodgate and pumping station on Salzer Creek
