protection standards
for forest practices
• Forest Practices Permit
• Adaptive
Management Process: Tests the rules.

Septic Systems• How are they Regulated:
• Small on-site sewage systems (OSS)
• Large on-site Sewage Systems (LOSS)
• State OSS and marine recovery area
(MRA) laws
• Local health jurisdictions designate areas of
added risk
• Adopt Management plans and implement
enhanced programs

Agriculture
• Dairies: Dairy Nutrient Management
Act is administered by the Washington
State Department of Agriculture
(WSDA).
• Non-Dairy Livestock and Nutrient Application: Mix of tools.

What tools do we have to address
nonpoint pollution?
• Financial Assistance
• Technical Assistance
• Education and Outreach
• Complaint Response
• Pollution Identification and
Correction Programs
• Watershed clean-up efforts

Work with Forum to develop a strategy!
• Prioritizing actions:
– Where to focus clean-up efforts.
• Are there watersheds where more modeling
would help identify sources?
• Are there watersheds where sources are
more obvious?
• What is working and what isn’t?
• Do we need additional tools?
