Lower Green River Corridor Flood Hazard Management Plan Public Comment Period

King County Flood Control District Green River SEPA

Proposed Alternatives for the Lower Green River Corridor Flood Hazard Management Plan

King County Flood Control District is preparing a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS), which will analyze alternatives for flood protection that could be included in the Plan. The PEIS describes potential environmental impacts and measures to reduce or eliminate them. Because each alternative includes a variety of flood protection projects that make up a “program” of actions, a PEIS is being prepared. The PEIS will evaluate the potential impacts of the projects identified in each alternative.

For more information about the upcoming projects, download the reference materials linked below.
