French Slough Drainage Management
NOTOC left|200px|French Creek ditch network
This was an initial effort in regulatory coordination in floodplains. This effort was focused on drainage maintenance in floodplains areas of the French Creek Watershed managed by the French Slough Flood Control District, however the purpose of the effort was to make multi-agency regulatory review in floodplains more predictable, efficient, and lead to improvement of ecosystem functions. French Creek drainage permits provide an opportunity to begin evaluating the actual business of floodplain regulation, starting on improving predictability and efficiency in the regulation of agricultural systems. The District ultimately declined to have their maintenance efforts serve as a pilot for regulatory coordination, and so the project was aborted. Learning was used to inform a Agricultural Drainage Symposium 2019 hosted by WSU Extension.
