We filed a general stream adjudication in Water Resources Inventory Area 1 (WRIA 1), the Nooksack River system and area of Whatcom County north to Canada.

In May 2024, we began the adjudication process in Whatcom County Superior Court and notified all involved water users. In the months after the case begins, all water users will need to file a claim describing their water use, so the court can inventory all legal water rights in order.
