This webpage houses DRAFT documents ready for review by CBWP Collaborative members. The information here has been compiled by CBWP Collaborative members and will eventually inform the surface water portion of the Integrated Water Plan. However, these documents have not gone though any formal consensus events, unless noted otherwise, and are therefore not reflective of any Collaborative decisions/ recommendations. They are for discussion purposes only and should not be cited.
