| Description | The Western Washington Instream Resources Protection Program develops instream resources protection measures for the 26 water resource inventory areas found in Western Washington. Ecology formed a multidisciplinary interagency team to develop information for determining the measures necessary to protect the instream resources in the Deschutes River Basin (WRIA 13). The results are the administrative rules designed to protect instream flow levels and minimize adverse impacts resulting from future water appropriations within the Deschutes River Basin. Instream resources include fish, wildlife, recreation, navigation, water quality, scenic and aesthetic values, and other environmental factors which may be adversely affected by both natural and man-caused factors within the Deschutes Basin. In accordance with administrative rules (Chapter 173-513 WAC), adopted on June 20, 1980, Deschutes River tributaries and the independent drainages of Woodland Creek, including Long Lake, Patterson Lake, Hicks Lake, Woodward Creek, and McLane Creek, will be closed to further out-of-stream consumptive appropriation. The Deschutes River main stem will be closed only from April 15 through October 31. Instream flows will be in effect for the Deschutes River at Control Station No. 12-0800-00 for November 1 through April 14. |
