Description The Washington State Department of Ecology is amending chapter 173-532 WAC, Water Resources Program for the Walla Walla River basin, Water Resources Inventory Area (WRIA) 32. The key amendments include:
• Establishing instream flow water rights.
• Modifying seasonal surface waters closures.
• Closing the gravel aquifers, which are directly connected to surface water sources.
• Limiting future withdrawals during high flow periods to projects resulting in net environmental benefits.
• Managing future permit-exempt groundwater withdrawals from the gravel aquifer, in “high density” areas.
