Chico Creek Watershed Process and Technical Reports

This report documents the Alternative Futures planning process for the Chico Watershed. Alternative Futures Planning is a technique designed to assess the relationships between human activities and changes that occur in the natural environment. This method consists of creating a series of future scenarios that depict what the landscape of a watershed might look like in the future. Each scenario is then analyzed for its effect on water quality, water quantity and fish and wildlife habitat. The analysis also assesses the potential benefits and impacts of those future land use scenarios. The result is a watershed plan based on natural resource protection and designed around a vision of the future that is articulated by the citizens of the watershed. Kitsap County selected the Chico Creek Watershed as a pilot project for Alternative Futures planning due to its healthy salmon runs, large tracts of forestland, two large lakes, and the increasing demands of development within its boundaries.
