Technical Facilitation, Public Scoping and Public ParticipationCascade Reservoir Assessment and TMDLClient: Boise Cascade Project Description: Domoni Glass managed the assessment of 100,000 acres of this 314,000-acre watershed. In addition, she served as chair of the Technical Advisory Committee charged with the development of the TMDL and completion of an implementation plan. In this role, Ms. Glass worked with forestry, agricultural, and urban interests to develop an assessment of land use effects on water quality in the basin. The assessment was used to identify projects that could be implemented with the greatest cost/benefit. Avenues for project funding were explored. Controls of effects of future land use in this rapidly developing basin were also addressed. To date, over $3 million in grants have been awarded to the residents of the basin to be used for a new sewage treatment plan, updates of the irrigation water transport system, road improvements, and other irrigation modifications. The State of Idaho and EPA have approved the TMDL. The assessment team included Joanne Greenberg, Steve Bauer and Karen Kuzis of WPN. The watershed assessment addressed water quantity, water quality, and fish habitat and identified actions that could be taken to improve aquatic resources and minimize effects on flow |
