Comments sought on Thomas’ Eddy plan
SNOHOMISH — The county’s surface water management division proposes to lower and remove some of the levees at Thomas’ Eddy to restore the Snohomish River floodplain around Bob Heirman Wildlife Park.
The reason is because “the levee cuts the river off from its floodplain and constrains its ability to create and maintain fish and wildlife habitat,” a project description says.
The site is identified as a salmon restoration site, and the county received a $200,000 salmon recovery grant from the Washington state Salmon Recovery Funding Board for this project.
Public comments are being taken through April 30 at a three-question survey at www.snohomishcountywa.gov/5816/Thomas-Eddy-Restoration-Project
It asks how people use the park and how important water access is for park users.
Levee changes may happen in 2024.
