Management Action(s):
H 2-1 Pend Oreille County Weed Board will develop and distribute public education
materials (e.g., signs, leaflets, fliers, BMPs) to educate residents, developers and
construction workers on how they can prevent the spread of noxious terrestrial
weeds.
H 2-2 The Pend Oreille County Weed Board will coordinate with interested landowners
and managers to survey lands on a regular basis (at 4-year intervals) and use
management tools (shovel, pulaski, backpack sprayer with herbicide) to remove
small amounts of noxious weeds found at the time of the surveys.
H 2-3 The Pend Oreille County Weed Board will develop management implementation
plans (including prioritization of lands) with interested landowners for larger
noxious weed populations.
H 2-4 The Watershed Planning Implementing Body will assist the Pend Oreille County
Weed Board to identify support (funding, in-kind and volunteer services) to help
with implementation of the Pend Oreille County biocontrol program.
3.3.3 H-3a
Problem Statement: River bank erosion along the mainstem of the Pend Oreille River is resulting in
degraded riparian habitat and water quality. The causes of erosion need to be confirmed and
mitigated.
Goal: To identify the causes of river bank erosion along the mainstem of the Pend Oreille River and
work to minimize river bank erosion in the future.
Statute Justification: RCW 90.82.090(2); RCW 90.82.110.
Management Action(s):
H 3a-1 Watershed Planning Implementing Body will develop a scope of work for a
technical study to identify the causes of river bank erosion along the Pend Oreille
River in WRIA 62. The study will include review and prioritization of areas
where there is concern and will identify mitigation / stabilization alternatives.
H 3a-2 Watershed Planning Implementing Body will develop and implement a public
education program to improve understanding of bank erosion along the mainstem
of the Pend Oreille River.
H 3a-3 Watershed Planning Implementing Body will compile reasonable bank
stabilization strategies for landowners along the mainstem of the Pend Oreille
River and provide education and assistance to landowners to implement these
strategies (current Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) specifications
for bank stabilization are overwhelming to most landowners).
H 3a-4 Watershed Planning Implementing Body will review shoreline plans and
comprehensive plans for bank erosion mitigation strategies and will make
