1997–1999 Puget Sound Water Quality Work Plan
1997–1999 Puget Sound Water Quality Work Plan. Legislation passed in 1996 changed the way the management plan is carried out. The Puget Sound Water Quality Protection Act (Chapter 90.71 RCW) established the Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team and directed it to prepare a biennial work plan and budget (in this case, covering the period from July 1, 1997, through June 30, 1999).
This work plan calls out the priority actions of state and federal agencies and local governments for the 1997-99 Biennium to protect Puget Sound. Work plan priorities were determined by the Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team and Puget Sound Council through a public decision-making process. The actions contained in this work plan build on the goals and objectives of the 1994 Puget Sound Water Quality Management Plan. Other actions important to the protection of Puget Sound - but not specifically addressed in the management plan - are also included in this work plan.
