Kitsap County Department of Community Development - Natural Resources Division Watershed Resource Management

The 1998 legislature passed ESHB 2514, codified into RCW 90.82 to set a framework for developing local solutions to watershed issues on a watershed basis. Kitsap County serves as the administrative lead for developing a water resource management plan for Water Resource Inventory Area 15 (WRIA 15). WRIA 15 includes all of Kitsap County and portions of Mason and Pierce Counties as well as Vashon Island in King County.

Development of the water resource management plan is the responsibility of the Planning Unit, which is comprised of representatives from four counties, five cities, four tribal governments, four major water purveyors and citizens and interest groups in WRIA 15. For more information on the Planning Unit contact Keith Folkerts.

For more information on water resource management and water quality plan implementation contact Keith Folkerts, Natural Resources Coordinator.
