ORGANIZATION
The Chehalis Basin Partnership became a WRIA planning unit through an intergovernmental agreement in August 1998 for the purposes of watershed assessment, planning and management:
"This Agreement shall designate a planning unit and a lead agency for purposes of assessing and managing the water resources of the Chehalis River Basin and to pursue strategies within the Chehalis River Basin which include the key elements of flood reduction, fisheries, recreation, watery quality and water quantity and examine their relationship to economic health and sustainability."
Shortly after its formation, the CBP adopted Bylaws. The adoption of an Operating Procedures Manual followed on September 24, 2004.
