3.5 Growth and Land Use Planning
The growth and land use planning issues addressed within this management plan are defined by the
following problem statements. The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) justifying inclusion of the
issues within this plan are noted for each issue.
GR&LU-1: There is a need to integrate information on current and projected water supply
and demand with land use. [RCW 90.82.005; RCW 90.82.010; RCW 90.82.030(1); RCW
90.82.040 Notes: Findings-2003 1 st sp.s.c 4; RCW 90.82.040 Notes: Finding-Intent-2001 c 237;
RCW 90.82.048(3); RCW 90.82.070(2)].
GR&LU-2a: There is a need to identify and assess locations and associated management
practices of livestock operations that utilize riparian areas. [RCW 90.82.010; RCW
90.82.090(2); RCW 90.82.110].
GR&LU-2b: There is a continued need for funding of education and program implementation
related to livestock management in riparian areas. [RCW 90.82.010; RCW 90.82.090(2); RCW
90.82.110].
GR&LU-3: Road building and improper maintenance can negatively impact water quality and
aquatic habitat. [RCW 90.82.005; RCW 90.82.090(2)&(7); RCW 90.82.110; RCW
90.82.120(3)].
GR&LU-4: The Pend Oreille County Shoreline Master Program needs to be updated. [RCW
90.82.005; RCW 90.82.120(1)&(2)].
The following sections further develop these growth and land use planning issues. Background
information is included in Chapter 4. A summary of the growth and land use planning issues, actions
and responsible parties is provided in Table 3-5.
3.5.1 GR&LU-1
Problem Statement: There is a need to integrate information on current and future projected water
supply and demand with land use.
Goal: To integrate data on water availability and water supply needs (water rights and current and
projected water use information) into county, town and city planning processes.
Statute Justification: RCW 90.82.005; RCW 90.82.010; RCW 90.82.030(1); RCW 90.82.040
Notes: Findings-2003 1 st sp.s.c 4; RCW 90.82.040 Notes: Finding-Intent-2001 c 237; RCW
90.82.048(3); RCW 90.82.070(2).
Management Action(s):
GR&LU 1-1 The Watershed Planning Unit recommends that a representative of the Watershed
Planning Implementing Body be involved with the County Planning Commission
and County comprehensive planning processes.
GR&LU 1-2 The Watershed Planning Implementing Body will 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
