Scatter Creek Watershed
The Scatter Creek sub-committee to the Chehalis Basin Partnership was formed in 2020 to advance the Streamflow Restoration Plan’s goals in the Scatter Creek basin. They chose to focus on Scatter Creek because shallow groundwater and streams are in close connection, there is a strong need for good water management because the projections for new permit-exempt wells in this area are high, and there are committed sponsors for potentially good restoration projects.
The completion of the Aquatic Species Restoration Plan (2019) provides additional urgency to the need for restoration planning in the Scatter Creek basin, which is identified as a “near term” priority in its ambitious 30-year plan for restoration.
