Stakeholders continue work on plan for Walla Walla watershed

WALLA WALLA — Stakeholders say they are continuing to work on priorities for the 1,760-square-mile Walla Walla River watershed identified in a strategic plan for the next 29 years.  Over the last decade, stakeholders have worked to increase streamflows and protect the amount of water that farmers need, said Judith Johnson, former chair of the Walla Walla Watershed Management Partnership. What we ve discovered is that, particularly in a drought situation like this year, there simply isn t enough water to meet both needs, she said. The fact that the watershed includes stakeholders in both Oregon and Washington adds an extra level of complexity. It includes the Touchet River and Mill Creek in Washington.

Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations/Clean Water Act: Washington Appellate Court Addresses Challenge to Combined State NPDES Permit | Mitchell, Williams, Selig, Gates & Woodyard, P L L C

The Court of Appeals of Washington – Division 2 (“Court”) addressed in a June 29th Decision a challenge to the Washington Department of Ecology’s (“WDE”) Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (“CAFO”) Waste Discharge General Permit (state only) and Combined National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) and State Waste Discharge General CAFO Permit (combined permit). See Washington State Dairy Federation, et al. v. State of Washington Department of Ecology, 2021 WL 2660024. Puget Soundkeeper Alliance and other organizations (collectively “Puget Soundkeeper”) appealed the Washington Pollution Control Hearing Board’s (“Board”) Order approving the previously referenced CAFO Permits. Most states are authorized to issue Clean Water Act NPDES Permits. Washington is one of such states. Consequently, the operator of a CAFO in an authorized state requests permit coverage from the appropriate state agency.
