The Lower Columbia Fish Recovery Board will receive and coordinate that grant as well. The 1998 Washington legislature established a framework for watershed planning and provided money to help local groups pay for their efforts. A new round of grant awards for fiscal year 2000 will be announced in July. A watershed is a geographic area in which all creeks and rivers flow toward the same destination. The watershed planning check will be presented by the Department of Ecology at 1 p.m. on July 13 in the Commissioner's Room of the Wahkiakum County Courthouse in Cathlamet.
