Hoback has been the not-so-shining example of poor water quality in Teton County. Farther north near the base of the Tetons, high-profile issues like nutrient pollution in Fish and Flat creeks persist. Permitting restrictions on development and geographic limitations to growth and industry, for example, have contributed to keeping the county’s water quality at an 8 out of 10. That’s what a representative from Trihydro, an engineering and environmental consulting firm, told the public during a November presentation of a draft water quality plan. Teton County, in partnership with the Teton Conservation District and advocacy group Protect Our Water Jackson Hole, hired Trihydro for $1.1 million over two years to produce a 20-year plan.
