The South Fork Clearwater River is located in Idaho County in central
Idaho. The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality in cooperation
with local stakeholders developed the South
Fork Clearwater River Total Maximum Daily Load in order to assess
the water quality in the watershed.The assessment also included key
tributaries that were know to be contributing non-point source
pollutants. PCEI restoration projects were designed as a result of the
TMDL assessment to help reduce pollutants loads in the watershed. PCEI
is working with private landowners and the Idaho Soil and Water
Conservation Commission to re-slope and stabilize eroding banks,
install riparian fencing, install hardened stream crossings and create
wetlands to help filter overland flows.
