The Little Spokane TMDLs focus on addressing pollutants such as temperature, fecal coliform bacteria, and turbidity. The initiative is divided into five key areas: agriculture, livestock, residential, stormwater, and recreational activities. Strategies for improvement include implementing direct seeding, establishing riparian buffers, managing sediment basins, and optimizing lawn care practices. For livestock, fencing and off-site watering are vital, while residential efforts include better septic systems and proper waste management. Recreational impacts will be mitigated through boat cleaning stations, pet waste management, and improved park facilities.

How are we going to get there? • For agriculture: • Direct seed • Riparian Buffers • Sediment Basins • Grassed waterways • Filter Strips • Strip cropping
For Livestock • Riparian Buffers • Fencing • Off site watering
For Residential: • Fertilizer management • Lawn clippings • Riparian buffers • Septic systems
Stormwater: • Buffers • Impervious surface – direct to settling ponds
Recreational Impacts: • Boat cleaning stations • Dump stations • Parks – changing stations • Pet waste stations • Proper boat speed
