Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality's Surface Water Quality Standards Triennial Review Collaborative Learning Process

Western, Dr. Jessica
Abstract
Wyoming's surface water quality standards (SWQS), Chapter 1 of the Water Quality Rules, include designated uses, water quality criteria and antidegradation provisions to ensure that the state's streams, lakes, and wetlands support their appropriate uses. The federal Clean Water Act directs states to review their SWQS at least once every three years, known as a triennial review. The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality decided to pursue a collaborative public process that utilized a group of representative stakeholders to provide input, perspectives, and suggestions to inform WDEQ's triennial review of the SWQS. This collaborative process report provides a summary of the situation assessment's outcomes, a description of the collaborative learning process, and the outcomes of those deliberations.
