The Potlatch River watershed is part of the Lower Clearwater River
Subbasin located in Latah and Clearwater County in northern Idaho. The
Potlatch River drains into the Clearwater River. The Idaho Department
of Environmental Quality in cooperation with local stakeholders
developed the
Potlatch River Total Maximum Daily Load in order to assess the water
quality in the watershed. 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 to re-slope and
stabilize eroding banks, install riparian fencing, install hardened
stream crossings and create wetlands to help filter overland flows.
