Stream Health Ratings from the 2004 State of the Waters Report


The waters of Clallam County provide recreational, aesthetic, economic and ecological benefits for residents and visitors. The county's rivers, creeks, lakes, wetlands and estuaries provide habitat for a diversity of fish and wildlife species; recreational and commercial activities such as boating, fishing, and shellfish harvesting; and infiltration to groundwater aquifers which supply most of our drinking water.

Clallam County's streams vary in condition: some provide abundant resources for fish, wildlife and humans, while others have been severely impacted by human activities. This 'report card,' based on the 2004 'State of the Waters' report (link above), helps citizens evaluate the health of individual watersheds and to understand their problems, in order to better protect and restore them. Where possible, we have updated the 2004 report with more recent data about particular sites.
