Stewardship Agreement
DEQ along with the California North Coast Water Quality Control Board (NCWQCB) have an agreement to develop and implement TMDL's in their respective states. In addition both EPA Regions 9 and 10 are part of this agreement. Current planning for TMDL coordination amongst the agencies is the Lower Klamath Lake Stewardship Agreement where DEQ, NCWQCB, Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Klamath Water Users Association (KWUA), Tule Lake Irrigation District (TID), Klamath Drainage District (KDD), Langell Valley Irrigation District (LVID), Horsefly Irrigation District (HID) and private land owners are all working on a collaborative plan to TMDL implementation and ultimately water quality improvements.
