WHEREAS, the Planning Unit conducted studies and identified key issues, then developed
recommendations addressing water quantity, water quality, and habitat in the WRIA 16
watershed.
WHEREAS, the watershed planning process provided ongoing opportunities for involvement
and input from the initiating governments, agencies, groups and individuals. The process also
included three public Watershed Planning Open House events in Brinnon, Union and Hoodsport,
to receive further public input and share information on the Watershed Plan.

Skokomish-Dosewallios Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA 16) on May 11,2006.
