The new human health criteria and water quality standards re- leased by the Environmental Pro- tection Agency for Washington State are a critical step to address- ing water quality needs throughout the region. The decision represents a uni- fying approach to addressing wa- ter quality, restoring healthy water- ways, and protecting the health and welfare of Pacific Northwest com- munities that rely on the region’s fish populations. Washington and the rest of the region should now move forward and focus on working together to implement these new standards. The tribes remain committed improving water quality and work- ing with our partners so that ev- eryone can enjoy fish from the region’s waterways that are free from toxics. The new standards are an important first step in that pro- cess. Gift Tree at High Lookee Please support our residents by selecting an ornament off of our gift tree.
