Hangman (Latah)
Creek Watershed Planning Project
Issues and recommendations
The recommendations
for the Hangman Creek Watershed Management Plan attempt to
address many difficult issues in an effort to
provide long-term guidance for the protection and management of water resources in basin for the benefit of all. Water quantity, water quality, projected growth, instream flow,
and land use recommendations reflect potential needs for changes
in management of the watershed. Additional recommendations
to change current policy guidelines or ordinances should be
utilized by public officials as a resource in evaluating areas
in Hangman Creek for issuing water rights, planning future
development, and improving water quality and habitat.
The Plan addresses the following
issues:
- Projected Future Growth
- Growth Management
- Priorities of Future Water Allocation
- Water Conservation,
Reclamation, and Re-use
- Groundwater/Surface water Interactions
- Actual Water Use/Allocation
in the Basin
- Streamflow Augmentation and Storage
- Water Quality (Flow
Related) Parameters
- Septic Systems
- Wellhead Protection
- Planning, Shorelines, and Development
- Fisheries Habitat
- Minimum Instream Flow Ruling
