Office of Central Proqrg»i and Enforcement 



Central Programs 



Central Programs cover four areas: 



(1) environmental review and sediment management, which reviews EISs, and 

 projects dealing with disposal of dredged material (the Water Quality 

 Program also participates in this activity); 



(2) enforcement support functions with the shorelands and Water Quality 

 Programs and the Southwest Region, as well as other programs; 



(3) spill management investigated the 1989 Black River fieh kill and oil and 

 other spills; and 



(4) regulation of major industrial sources such as pulp mills. In Grays 

 Harbor, this Section routinely monitors chemical content and biological 

 effects of pulp mill effluent as called for in National Pollution 

 Discharge Elimination System permits. The Water Quality Program is an 

 active participant in this effort. 



Environmental Investigations and Laboratory Services Program: 



This Program is responsible for water quality monitoring. It conducts ambient 

 monitoring for surface and ground water as well as special investigations such 

 as toxic discharges. This program performed much of the bioassay and chemical 

 analysis in the Grays Harbor smolt survival study (Schroder and Fresh 1992). 



This office supports the TKDL study and modelling of biological oxygen demand 

 and coliform bacteria (WDOE 1990). 



Office of Water and Shorelands 



Shorelands and Coastal Zone Management Program 



This Program provides advice on hydrology and water resources for flood 

 control, and acts as a liaison with the Adopt-a-Stream Foundation. The 

 Program also administers the Shoreland Management Act, local government master 

 programs, and Coastal Zone Management grants. They also implement wetlands 

 and shellfish programs. 



Water .Resource* Program 



The purposes of this Program axe: 



(1) regulate and maintain official records of surface and ground water 

 rights and claims; 



(2) review Federal Energy Regulatory Commission licenses for hydroelectric 

 power; 



(3) assists in biological investigations and establish and regulates 

 instream flow requirements of various streams for fish species; and 



(4) adjudicate water rights claims.
