Capitol Lake Improvement and Protection Association (CLIPA) is a broad based citizens organization.
See our CLIPA - Capitol Lake Improvement & Protection Assn page for more information about our group.

Prepared by a Consortium of Community Citizens & Organizations

The CLIPA Science & Policy Panel has created a realistic, science based and practical plan to improve water quality and sediment management in the Deschutes Watershed while preserving one of our state's precious icons, Capitol Lake. We hope you will read this body of work carefully, as we believe we have addressed environmental, aesthetic, social, economic and fiscal responsibilities in a balanced manner to the benefit of the public.
