The Lower Umatilla Basin Groundwater Management Area, or LUBGWMA, consists of the northern portions of Morrow and Umatilla counties.
Since the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality established the LUBGWMA in 1990, both the private and public sectors have worked to address the nitrates in the groundwater, but more still needs to be done. Our business coalition is doing our part to support community efforts to give all residents access to clean water. We believe collaborative, science-based solutions are the only way to resolve these issues now and in the long term.
