Palouse River Subbasin

The Palouse River Subbasin is located in northern Idaho and eastern Washington in what is known as the Palouse Bioregion. The Palouse is characterized by highly productive loess soils of Pleistocene origin that were deposited by southwesterly winds making up the topography characteristic of this region. The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality in cooperation with local stakeholders have developed the Palouse River Tributaries Total Maximum Daily Load in order to assess the water quality in tributaries that feed the main stem Palouse River in Idaho. PCEI restoration projects are part of the Palouse River Tributaries Implementation Plan that was designed as a result of the TMDL assessment to help reduce pollutants loads in the watershed. PCEI is working with private landowners in the watershed to re-slope and stabilize eroding banks, install riparian fencing and create wetlands to help filter overland flows
