The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is extending the deadline to join the Lower North Fork Clearwater River Watershed Advisory Group to June 30th.
An earlier news release announced a deadline of May 31st.
The Lower North Fork Clearwater River Watershed Advisory Group is a collection of citizens from a diverse set of interests dedicated to the successful restoration and protection of the Lower North Fork Clearwater River watershed. The watershed includes the tributary water bodies to Dworshak Reservoir and spans parts of Clearwater, Latah, and Shoshone counties, from which the group seeks to have representation.
The group will advise DEQ on water quality improvement plans called total maximum daily loads, guide implementation of water quality improvements, and represent interests directly affected by water quality programs within the watershed.
Representatives from the following fields of interest are encouraged to apply: Agriculture; Mining; Forest products; Local government; Livestock; Indian Tribes of Idaho; Water-based recreation; Environmental interests; and Land management and regulatory agencies.
Members do not need to be water quality experts to serve on a Water Advisory Group. Individuals interested in acting as a representative should contact David McIntyre by calling (208) 799-4370, or David.McIntyre@deq.idaho.gov by 5 pm Mountain Time on June 30th, 2025.
