Goose and Crooked Creeks Local Watershed Planning Project -
September 11
Review services DWQ performs for EEPProvide overview of existing information on Goose and Crooked CreeksShow results of some water quality assessments
Division of Water Qualityand the
Ecosystems Enhancement Program
DWQ supports EEP’s Local Watershed Planning efforts by:
1. Reviewing information/data previously collected within a watershed.
2. Identifying specific causes of any problems (stressors) and the sources of those problems.
3. Conducting additional water quality assessments (chemical, biological, etc.)
Many Reports Identified: 1988-2006
