Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Southwestern Washington River Basin study area is bounded by the Columbia River on the south and the Pacific Ocean on the west. The northern boundary is the Strait of Juan de Fuca. On the east, the area is bounded by the Olympic Mountain crest and the natural divide between the Puget Sound and Southwestern Washington drainages, the Cascade Mountain crest between Mountain Rainier and Mount Adams, and the natural divide marking the Lewis River drainage between Mount Adams and the Columbia River. Southwestern Washington has a total area of 7,497,100 acres, of which 7,020,170 acres are land and 476,930 acres are water. The area includes all of Clark, Cowlitz, Grays Harbor, Pacific, and Wahkiakum Counties, most of Lewis County, and parts of Jefferson, Clallam, Thurston, Mason, Skamania, Pierce, and Yakima Counties. The primary study objective is to facilitate the coordinated conservation, development, utilization, and management of water and related land resources. Programs will be formulated to promote economic growth and development yet preserve the quality of the environment. Particular attention was given to identification and study of land and water related projects and programs suitable for early action. Consideration is given to: (a) the timely development and management of resources as an essential aid to the economic growth of Southwestern Washington; (b) the protection and improvement of resources to ensure that they continue to be available for their best use as needed; and (c) the well-being of the people as the overriding determinate in such planning.
