Description The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has formally disapproved parts of
Washington’s water quality standards because they do not go far enough under the
Clean Water Act to protect salmon and bull trout in certain streams and rivers. This focus sheet provides information about workshops and hearings on the proposed changes to the Water Quality Standards to fix the deficiencies identified by EPA.
