A review of the project plans, cost estimate and specifications is complete. WSDOT and the consultant are updating the project design, project plans, cost estimate and specifications . WSDOT is coordinating environmental documentation and permitting to prepare the project for advertisement.

Environmental Impacts / Compliance
Environmental permitting for the project requires that creek restoration work occurring in the Skobob Creek channel be completed between July 15 and September 15. This requirement ensures that during this period migrating fish will not be impacted by construction of the project. In addition temporary erosion, sediment, and spill control measures will be included in the project.
