It supersedes Geological Survey Circular 584, It was updated by personnel of the Data Reports Unit, Water Resources Division, Geological Survey. Basic data on surface-water supply have been published in an annual series of water-supply papers consisting of several volumes, including one each for the States of Alaska and Hawaii. The area of the other 48 States is divided into 14 parts whose boundaries coincide with certain natural drainage lines. Prior to 1951, the records hr the 48 States were published inl4volumes,oneforeachof the parts, From 1951 to 1960, the records for the 48 States were published annually in 18 volumes, there being 2 volumes each for Parts 1, 2, 3, and 6, Beginning in 1961, the annual series of water-supply papers on surface-water supply was changed to 2.

General Description of the RMU The Lower Columbia Sub-Unit within the Lower Columbia River/Willamette Regional Management Unit (RMU) is comprised of six 4th field HUCs that are situated within four EPA Level III ecoregions: the Coast Range, Willamette Valley, Puget Lowland, and Cascades (https://www.epa.gov/eco- research/level-iii-and-iv-ecoregions-continental-united-states). Watersheds within the Lower Columbia River Sub-Unit range in size from 1,753 to 3,756 km2 and include the Lower Columbia-Sandy, Lewis, Upper and Lower Cowlitz, Lower Columbia-Clatskanie, and Lower Columbia River (Table 1). The spatial arrangements of these HUCs are displayed in Figure 1. A list of major tributaries within each HUC can be found in Appendix A. Figure 1.
