Author: Merritt Frey

If you missed last week’s Antidegradation in the Intermountain West 101/201 webinar, you can now listen and watch an online recording.

We had approximately 30 people on the webinar, so we hope you’ll find the questions and discussion interesting…even if you can only listen! To see the “homework” for this training and for links to other webinars, etc. please visit our general Clean Water West training page.

What will you learn in Antidegradation 101/201?

  • The basic federal requirements for antidegradation policies, how those base requirements have been translated into regulations in the Intermountain West, and how they can be used to protect your rivers.
  • What exemptions in your state rules are limiting the use of antidegradation as a tool for protecting healthy rivers...and ideas for what to do about those exemptions.
  • Upcoming opportunities for improving antidegradation policies and/or strategies for strengthening implementation in your state and around the region.
  • And more!
