The Transboundary Gas Group (TGG) was formed in April 1998 to help coordinate Columbia Basin dissolved gas planning activities between Canada, the United States, state, provincial, and federal agencies, tribes, first nations, and other organizations. The overall, long-term goal of the TGG is to: “Reduce systemwide total dissolved gas to levels safe for all aquatic life in the most cost-effective manner possible.”
A steering committee plans and guides the group's efforts and monitors its goal fulfillment. The TGG meets twice each year, usually in the early spring and again in the fall alternating between U.S. and Canadian meeting venues. Members discuss the latest developments in dissolved gas monitoring, abatement methods, modeling, and biological effects. The group has also offered opinions and guidance on dissolved gas issues in other areas of the Pacific Northwest.
