Columbia River Basin Water Supply Development Program House Bill 2860 (February 2006) established the need for a Columbia River Basin Water Management Program Directed the Washington Department of Ecology to aggressively pursue development of water supplies to benefit both instream and out-of-stream uses through storage, conservation and voluntary regional water management

Funding $16 million immediately to continue feasibility studies Created a Columbia River Basin development account of up to $200 million (sale of revenue bonds) to develop water supplies on the Columbia River for environmental and economic purposes.

New Water Supplies Alternatives to ground water for agricultural users in the Odessa-area aquifer Sources of water supply for pending water right applications A new uninterrupted supply of water for the holders of interruptible water rights on the Columbia River New municipal, domestic, industrial and irrigation water needs

Distributing New Supplies Two-thirds to out-of-river uses One-third to flows for fish migration

Programmatic EIS, Feb Future water management will be multi- faceted, not a single approach. Access to new water: conservation, acquiring existing water rights, expanding storage capacities, and entering into long- term water supply agreements. Priority to projects that are cost-effective, efficient, produce water quickly, and benefit both people and fish.

Water Development Program Components include: -- A plan to deliver water to the Odessa-area farmlands -- Continued study of off-channel storage sites -- Providing drought relief for interruptible water-right holders -- Implementing voluntary regional water agreements.

Four-part Test for a New Water Right Is water available? Would the withdrawal impair a senior water right? How will the water be put to use? Is it in the public interest to put the water to use?

Possible New Storage Dams Potential off-channel mainstem Columbia River storage sites: -- Hawk Creek (above Grand Coulee) -- Foster Creek (below Chief Joseph) -- Sand Hollow (above Wanapum) and Crab Creek (below Wanapum) Potential capacity by site: 1.2 to 2.6 MAF

Current Projects Install water meters by June 30, 2009; cost-share funds became available May 1, 2007 Help restore stream flows and fish stocks in the Walla Walla River and provide water to irrigators
