Document - Petition to Amend the Instream Flow Rule for the Spokane River
Abstract
This Petition to Amend the Instream Flow Rule for the Spokane River is being submitted on behalf of the Center for Environmental Law & Policy (CELP), American Whitewater, and Sierra Club (collectively “Petitioners”). Specifically, Petitioners ask Ecology to amend the minimum instream flows established in WAC 173-557-050 because the summer low flows of 850 cfs below Monroe Street Dam and 500 cfs at Greenacres from June 16-September 30 do not protect wildlife, fish, scenic, aesthetic, recreation, water quality and other environmental values, nor does the rule comply with other laws protecting the waters of the state.Description
