Stormwater Plan
WHAT: The Whatcom County Stormwater Division is currently in the process of putting together a comprehensive Stormwater Plan for Lake Samish.
WHEN: In the fall of 2009 the Lake Samish Watershed Management Advisory Committee (LSWMAC) voted to “temporarily suspend” all activities. Established in 2003 by the Board of Commissioners for the Samish Water District its purpose was to give residents a forum for staying informed regarding issues relative to water quality within the area.
LSA ACTION: The
Association is closely working with
the Whatcom County Stormwater Division.
STATUS: See continual updates below.
Update: March 2011:
The scope for Public Meeting # 4 (March 15, 2011) will
include topical discussions in four major subject areas which concern
stormwater and lake-level management within the
We will discuss the current maintenance and operations (M&O) activities occurring
within the basin and provide an overview of the proposed plan recommendations
to address gaps in the basin’s M&O program. The discussion will then
turn to the overall programmatic and capital improvement recommendations
proposed for the stormwater and lake-level management in the basin.
Finally, we will review the recommended governance and funding mechanisms
proposed for implementation of the basin plan.
The format will be similar to past meetings with ample time for questions and
discussion. Your input is important so we would like any comments you
have on these proposals. If you can’t attend the meeting, feel free to
contact Kraig Olason with any comments or questions you have regarding the
technical memos.
Following this public meeting, we will begin assembling the Draft Lake Samish
Basin Comprehensive Stormwater Plan. There will be another public
meeting later this spring to review the draft plan and take any additional
comments with a final draft. The final step will be submitting the
amended draft plan to Whatcom County Council for adoption.
