Model "Fish Friendly" Program Reviewed by NOAA-Fisheries

In a collaborative project between municipalities and districts, DEQ, and the Governor's Community Solutions Team, ACWA
members proposed a "fish friendly" erosion control program to NOAA-Fisheries for review and comment.  The "model" program was
set in the Willamette Valley, and designed by a Technical Advisory Committee of ACWA members to be "protective, but practical".
 
This model program, teamed with NOAA-Fisheries response, allows local governments to make informed decisions about the types
of erosion control programs that would be acceptable to NOAA-Fisheries, or acceptable under a 4(d) submittal.
 
The "model" program submittal details are available here.
