Join us at our upcoming Siletz Watershed Quarterly Meeting, on September 17th at 6 PM, hosted at the Siletz Public Library.

During the meeting we’ll hear from Katie Saaty, Water Quality Monitoring Specialist at Lincoln Soil and Water Conservation District, who will discuss water quality monitoring in the Siletz basin. While water quality monitoring efforts in the Siletz River Basin have been ongoing for decades, many holes in the big picture of the river system’s health remain to be filled in. At the Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District, work is in progress to collect data to be used in the development of a Clean Water Plan to address impaired dissolved oxygen levels in the watershed.

Katie Saaty first joined the Lincoln SWCD in 2021, and stepped into her current role as the Water Quality Monitoring Specialist two years ago. As a Humboldt State University graduate with a Bachelors in Fisheries Science and former Commercial Fisheries Observer, Katie is thrilled to be using her knowledge of aquatic ecosystems to serve the residents of Lincoln County in protecting our vital waterways and drinking water sources.
