CODE ISSUE / ACTION
GR&LU1-1
Growth and Landuse Planning - Issues, Actions and Responsible Parties
GR&LU1: There is a need to integrate information on current and projected water supply and demand with land use.
GR&LU1-2
Watershed Planning Implementing Body to become involved with the County Planning Commission and
comprehensive planning processes.
Assess available water supply in the areas expected to experience the most population growth (i.e. the Calispell,
Davis, Skookum, Kent and McCloud sub-basins). Note that improved understanding of streamflows in WRIA 62
is needed to determine water availability within these sub-basins.
GR&LU1-3 Assist Pend Oreille County in addressing Critical Areas Ordinance and updating the shorelines master program. Implementing body
GR&LU1-4
GR&LU1-5
GR&LU1-6
GR&LU1-7
Integrate findings from the Phase II technical assessments and water needs assessment (see GR&LU 1-2) into local
water system plans and county, city and town land use plans and shoreline master programs.
Consider water supply information when updating land use designations to ensure consistency between the
Comprehensive Plan land use designations and the WRIA 62 Watershed Management Plan technical findings and
recommendations.
Require proof of water availability from the applicant prior to amending Urban Growth Area (UGA) boundaries.
The proposal for expansion should include documentation of the ability of the city / town / development (if it is to
be self-served) to provide adequate water. Burden of proof is on the applicant. Domestic wells of 5,000 gallons
per day or less serving one household are not included in this burden of proof.
Coordinate sub-basin specific water supply needs with alternative water supply options including reuse,
reclamation, and conservation (e.g., development of a regional water supply using water withdrawn from the Pend
Oreille River and treated).
