Content on this page is provided for informational purposes while the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River Watershed Advisory Group (WAG) and DEQ develop and implement water quality plans for the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River Subbasin.  The WAG and DEQ are planning and implementing water quality improvement projects to achieve targets set by existing "Total Maximum Daily Loads" (TMDLs) for sediment and metals in the subbasin.  Additionally, TMDLs addressing temperature and metals are being developed for waterbodies in the subbasin that do not fully support beneficial uses.

Note: All of these documents are considered draft and are subject to change. The goal of providing these documents at WAG meetings and on this web page is to ensure citizens have the opportunity to provide input as the documents are developed.
