FINAL ORDER Boundaries for the Pasco Basin groundwater subarea The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) issues this Final Order establishing the boundaries for the Pasco Basin groundwater subarea. Defining the boundaries is the first step in a process to develop a permanent groundwater management framework for the Pasco Basin. A related but separate groundwater rule will increase the amount of water in the Basin that can be lawfully allocated and resolve legal and regulatory questions over how that water can be used. In 2021, the Washington State Legislature revised Ecology’s authority to enter into an agreement with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to develop a groundwater co-management program and allocate groundwater that exists because of the Columbia Basin Project. This Final Order defines the boundaries of the Pasco Basin subarea, where co-mingled groundwater will be jointly managed. The subarea is located within the southern third of Grant County, the western half of Franklin County, and the western third of Adams County. The proposed boundaries are consistent with the current boundary of the Pasco Basin subarea previously established by chapter 508-14 WAC with subsequent modifications. A map of the subarea is included with project documents on the website provided below. Ecology previously made a Draft Order defining the boundaries of the Pasco Basin subarea available for review and comment from November 8 through December 10, 2024, and a virtual Public Hearing was held on December 4, 2024. Ecology received a total of 12 comments on the Draft Order. After careful consideration and thorough evaluation of comments received, Ecology determined that no adjustments were needed to the boundaries as described in the Draft Order. This Final Order may be appealed to the Pollution Control Hearings Board (PCHB) within 30 days of this decision. Instructions on how to appeal are included in the Final Order available on the website below. DOCUMENT LOCATIONS ONLINE: http://bit.ly/3AjS1ZQ #05038/35832 Pub: May 9, 16 & 23, 2025
