The Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee (LVWCC) was formed in October 1998 as a result of recommendations by the Water Quality Citizens Advisory Committee (WQCAC).

The LVWCC consists of 29 members. The goal of the committee is to bring together all interested parties to address the many issues related to the Las Vegas Wash.

There are many complex issues surrounding the Wash, and the WQCAC recommended a committee be formed that involved all stakeholders. They also recommended that one entity should oversee the administration of this committee, the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA).

The wide range of issues relating to the Wash led the LVWCC to adopt a "study team" structure with experts in a particular area on each team. The LVWCC originally identified nine specific areas of focus; nine study teams were created to identify issues and develop recommendations related to these issues. After 12 months, the study teams' recommendations were rolled into The Las Vegas Wash Comprehensive Adaptive Management Plan (LVWCAMP).

Once the LVWCAMP was developed, the nine study teams were regrouped into three new teams. These three teams focus on implementing the recommendations set forth in the LVWCAMP and moving forward with on-the-ground activities.

Thanks to the efforts of all of the stakeholders involved, the LVWCC celebrated its 5-year anniversary in October 2003. The LVWCC meets quarterly and welcomes input from the public and stakeholders in the Wash.
