Intergovernmental Agreements in Watershed Planning

by Kathleen Kimbell, Snohomish County Dep of Public Works, United States,
Doug Beyerlein, Snohomish County Dep of Public Works, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Watershed Planning and Analysis in Action

Abstract:

Management of the surface water system not only rests with state and federal agencies, but more importantly, with local jurisdictions. Recognizing this, a cooperative effort was undertaken by Snohomish County and the cities of Lynnwood and Brier to address problems associated with rapid urbanization. A plan was developed which, when implemented, will benefit natural surface water systems through the use of non-structural and structural measures. Financing of the solutions identified in the plan will be shared by the three jurisdictions based on impervious surface each contributes to the watershed.
