	American Whitewater - NWRI - Chehalis 1 - West Fork to Pe Ell
		The Chehalis is a little off the beaten path as one of the few whitewater runs in the southwest corner of the state, but it serves up some great whitewater for a wide range of interests.
		River cruisers who want to get in a good workout can enjoy up to 15 miles of continuous whitewater, intermediate paddlers can find several fun sections with only a couple portages, experts can find a couple very challenging drops, and playboaters can find several fun features.
		The river forms at the confluence of the west and east forks, and from this point to the first bridge downstream the river flows at a lazy pace through continuous class II rapids.

	Chehalis, Washington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chehalis began as a settlement around a warehouse beside a railroad track in 1873, when the Northern Pacific Railroad built northward from Kalama to Tacoma, and ignored Claquato, then the county seat three miles to the west.
		The Chehalis River winds its way through the valley in which the city resides, and is there joined by a tributary, the Newaukum River.
		Both rivers are prone to flooding during periods of abnormally heavy or persistent rain, and the lowlands from the freeway westward are particularly susceptible to inundation.

		The bulk of the fishermen on the river will usually be spoon / spinner fishermen, as they can fish about anywhere and without much special knowledge of the river or how to read the water.

		Contributions of heat from municipal and industrial point sources in the Upper Chehalis River are small, but they have been addressed in this TMDL through wasteload allocations.
		This TMDL is designed to address impairments due to surface water temperature increases on nine water quality-limited streams (representing 19 segments) located in the watershed and provide goals for protection of all remaining streams.
