Snake River Lower Monumental Pool Geographic Response Plan
The Washington Department of Ecology is updating the Snake River Lower Monumental Pool Geographic Response Plan (GRP). An important part of the update process is hearing from the people who live, work, and play in the GRP area. To facilitate this, a public comment period will be open from August 1st at 8:00 AM to August 31st at 5:00 PM.
Description of Planning Area
The Snake River Lower Monumental Pool Geographic Response Plan (GRP) covers the 29 mile reach of the Lower Monumental Pool Area (from the Little Goose Dam downstream to the Lower Monumental Dam), also known as Lake Herbert G. West within the Snake River.
What are Geographic Response Plans?
Geographic Response Plans (GRPs) are used to guide early response actions in the event of an oil spill. Ecology develops and updates GRPs in collaboration with state, local and federal agencies and tribes. Each GRP is written for a specific area (for example a river, a lake, or section of Puget Sound), and includes tactical response strategies tailored to a particular shore or waterway at risk of injury from oil. GRPs have two main objectives: Identify sensitive natural, cultural or significant economic resources at risk of injury from oil spills. Describe and prioritize response strategies in an effort to reduce injury to sensitive natural, cultural, and certain economic resources at risk from oil spills.
