GOALS
The following goals were also developed by both committees
to support the mission statement:
1. Strive for substantially improved fish and wildlife
habitat quality and quantity.
2. Involve community groups and volunteers outside of
the farming and ranching industry to support the
plan and help improve fish and wildlife habitat.
3. Prioritize habitat improvements to make cost-
effective and responsible use of public funds.
4. Focus project efforts on a watershed/ecosystem
approach rather than just the riparian area.
5. Create pro-active management of private resources
without increasing government regulations.
6. Promote cooperative efforts between landowners and
agencies.
7. Strive to reduce instream sediment levels by improving
upland management practices.
8. Promote the use of conservation practices on all
confined livestock winter feeding and calving
areas, adjacent to Asotin Creek and its
tributaries, to protect water quality and the
riparian area.
9. Develop a public information and education program to
raise the natural resource awareness of county
residents.
10. Develop a watershed management plan that meets
Section 10 requirements under the Endangered Species
Act for a "habitat conservation plan".
WATERSHED PROBLEMS
The following problems were identified during the watershed
analysis and are addressed in the plan:
1. High stream temperature
