Specific examples include Columbia River and coastal jetties, deep draft and small port dredging throughout the region, inland navigation locks, the successful completion of the Columbia River channel deepening, the Seattle Harbor deepening study, and more.

Section 214 permanence PNWA has been the lead organization advocating for Section 214 since it was authorized in WRDA 2000. In the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (WRRDA), PNWA’s efforts led to permanence of the authority, providing a streamlined permit process and an increased level of predictability for public entities in the Northwest and around the country.

Snake River Dredging PNWA led the effort that resulted in a court settlement and the Snake River was dredged for the first time in seven years. We continue this effort as the resulting Programmatic Sediment Management Plan (PSMP) is prepared for completion this year.

Salmon As the lead regional advocate for navigation in ongoing salmon recovery litigation, PNWA has successfully protected inland navigation from efforts to breach dams or draw down reservoirs.

Columbia River Treaty As the State Department plans a path forward for negotiations with Canada, PNWA and our partners work to protect navigation, flood control, irrigation and electric utility interests.

Regulatory Issues PNWA works with state and federal agencies and partners to ensure a streamlined regulatory process, and to move vital economic and environmental projects forward.

Federal Dredges After decades of effort, PNWA was successful in removing all restrictions on the operation of the dredges Essayons and Yaquina to maintain west coast harbors.

Helping PNWA Members PNWA assists our members in making connections in the region and in Washington DC, and helps to accomplish authorization, appropriations and federal policy goals benefitting the Northwest.
