Tell us what you think
The King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks (DNRP) is seeking
public comment on its proposed public rule, “Procedures for Considering
Recreational Safety When Placing Large Wood in King County Rivers.”
The purpose of these rules is to implement an ordinance (16581) that was
adopted by the King County Council in 2009. The ordinance directs DNRP to
prepare a public rule establishing procedures that DNRP will use to consider
recreational safety issues when designing projects involving placing large
wood in King County rivers. The rules also identify the procedures for public
input on projects that will utilize large wood elements in the design.
