In 1997 the Legislature authorized creation of water
conservancy boards under
Chapter 90.80 RCW (Water Conservancy Boards) to enable
the processing of water-right transfer and change
applications at the local level. This legislation allows
counties to establish water conservancy boards as
independent units of local government through resolution of
the county or counties that it serves and approval by the
Department of Ecology. All water conservancy board decisions
are ultimately reviewed and affirmed, reversed, or modified
by Ecology.
The Spokane County Water Conservancy Board consists of three commissioners. All board commissioners must receive training from the Department of Ecology before participating in any decision on a water-right transfer application. A water conservancy board can serve a single watershed, multiple watersheds, a county, or multiple counties. There are currently 20 water conservancy boards operating in Washington. |
