Watershed Restoration and Enhancement Committee WRIA 10 Puyallup/White

Ecology home | Water supply | Streamflow restoration | WRIA 10 Puyallup/White Watershed Restoration and Enhancement Committee

Last revised: July 22, 2021

The Streamflow Restoration Act (RCW 90.94) is a new law affecting water resource management in Washington State. The law, passed in 2018, helps protect water resources while providing water for families in rural Washington. 

The law directs local planning groups in 15 watersheds to develop or update plans that offset potential impacts to instream flows associated with new permit-exempt domestic water use.

How the law affects this watershed

As of Jan. 19. 2018, new permit-exempt wells for domestic use in this watershed are:

  • allowed 950 gallons per day as the maximum annual average (350 gallons per day during drought).
  • subject to a $500 fee.

Please contact your county for more information on these standards as they may change in the final watershed plan or any potential rulemaking.

This watershed:

  • has an instream flow rule that does not regulate permit-exempt wells.
  • is directed by Section 203 of the new law to adopt a watershed restoration and enhancement plan by June 30, 2021.

The Department of Ecology offers free language services. We can provide information written in your preferred language and interpreters over the phone. For more information, please contact Rebecca Brown at 360 407-6666

WRIA 10 Watershed Restoration and Enhancement Plan

This committee estimated the 20-year consumptive use from new permit-exempt wells and identified projects to offset that consumptive use. Ecology determined that the plan achieves a net ecological benefit and adopted it on June 14, 2021. 

The final plan, appendices, and supporting resources are posted here:
