Lewis County - Airport Levee Project

(1/23/2013) Update from Tim Elsea     4/14/2013

Lewis County has completed the surveying, has a 90% design, and has consulted with the Corps of Engineers to ensure all previous Section 106 reports have been given to the Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. We are working with Rob Whitlam from DAHP. We have had the wetlands delineated and have been able to eliminate any impacts to jurisdictional wetlands in the first phase of construction. Our biologist is in contact with the city of Chehalis’ Community Development Director to ensure that we are able to present a design review packet that can be reviewed expeditiously. We have met with the airport manager and the Chehalis city manager and have had our design reviewed by them both. We have consulted with the US Army Corps of Engineers to determine the specifications for the fill material and are actively looking for fill sites that could provide the volume of material needed. We put out a request for proposal for Archaeologists from our consultant roster and are in the process of interviewing four consultants. These consultants will help develop a mitigation plan and will be on site during construction.
