Description The proposal under consideration is a management program for the surface waters of the John Day and McNary Pools reach of the Columbia River.

The Department of Ecology has developed a program for the management of the surface waters of John Day and McNary Pools of the Columbia River. This program will not affect existing water rights, but is a statement of Washington State's interest in the future use and management of this reach of the Columbia River.

The proposed management program consists of: 1) Reservation of sufficient water to meet projected irrigation and municipal needs. The reservation is proposed to be adopted by an administrative regulation, chapter 173-531 WAC. 2) Statements of policy based on the goal of balancing competing uses of the Columbia River waters, and recognizing that the State of Washington is not the only state with an interest in the Columbia River.
