Chehalis River Council 



The mission of the CRC is "to promote conservation and restoration of the 

 Chehalis Basin, with consideration for current and potential uses, through (1) 

 fostering recognition by all land and water users of the direct link between 

 individual actions or inactions and water quality, (2) facilitate citizen 

 empowerment, (3) seek solutions to resource problems, and (4) foster 

 communications among Chehalis Basin interest groups, and work with all 

 interested citizens within the Chehalis Basin" (CRC 1991). As described in 

 the CRC newsletter (Lewis County CD 1990), the primary goal is to develop a 

 plan to identify, correct, and prevent nonpoint source pollution, and thus 

 protect beneficial uses of water. The WDOE provides technical assistance and 

 administers grants from the State Centennial Clean Water Fund to prepare 

 watershed plans. The Upper Chehalis Action Plan will enable the CRC to apply 

 for an implementation grant through the Centennial Clean Water Fund.
