The Klickitat County Planning Department is updating the Klickitat County Shorelines Master Plan per the Washington State Shoreline Management Act requirements.  In updating the Master Plan, we are required to follow the process set forth in Chapter 173-26 WAC.  The process is comprised of several steps.  We are at the beginning of the process i.e. gathering of information.  An announcement was distributed to a number of agencies and others who may have an interest in the update and/or may have relevant information.   Our consultant for the update, The Watershed Company, is currently compiling information as required in Chapter 173-26 WAC.  We anticipate that proposed amendments will likely be available for public review and comment in early 2017.
