SUMMARY:WOTUS regional policy workshop follow-up discussion
DESCRIPTION:Western States Water Council hosted a series of workshops over the summer to further explore technical and policy elements of a regional approach to WOTUS. This two hour discussion is a follow-up to the full day policy workshop that was hosted in Polson\, Montana on August 2. States requested this follow-up discussion to provide time for them to further consider the materials and several policy elements that were discussed at the workshop. A final draft of the technical white-paper and a draft memo on regional policy considerations will be shared with participants in early October. \nThis workshop is intended primarily for Western States Water Council members and state agencies and other interstate organizations with an interest in exploring a new\, regional\, approach to WOTUS. Please register for this event using this link. \nAgenda
