VANCOUVER – Residents are invited to learn more about the County’s 2025 – 2030 Stormwater Capital Plan at an upcoming open house hosted by the Clean Water division of Clark County Public Works. The proposed plan includes projects to update, repair, and build new stormwater infrastructure to protect clean water by removing pollutants and slowing runoff. Additional projects include tree planting, streamside habitat preservation and stream channel rehabilitation. Projects in the plan primarily address requirements in the county’s Phase I Municipal Stormwater Permit issued by the Department of Ecology.
Projects in the Stormwater Capital Plan scheduled for construction in 2025 include:
- 78th Street Heritage Farm Wetland Restoration Project
- Northwest 99th Street Water Quality Retrofit (Northwest 11th Avenue to Cougar Creek)
- Highway 99 Sidewalk (Northeast 102nd Street to Northeast 104th Street)
- Schriber Northwest Reforestation
- Northeast 99th Street Water Quality Retrofit (Interstate 5 to Hazel Dell Avenue)
Residents are invited to learn more about the Stormwater Capital Plan and associated projects at an open house from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22. From 6:30 to 7 p.m., a presentation will provide an overview of the plan. Before and after the presentation, residents are invited to review and discuss the plan with staff. Light refreshments will be provided.
Residents can attend in person or online. The in-person open house will be at Salmon Creek Elementary School (1601 NE 129th Street). The presentation portion of the open house will also be streamed online. A meeting link is available on the Clean Water project webpage. While registration is not required, those who register to attend online via the link on the webpage will receive an email reminder with the meeting link 15 minutes prior to the presentation.
