Pierce County Seeks Input on Dock, Timber Projects

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Pierce County is seeking public comments on two environmental reviews related to projects in the Puyallup area. The first involves Thompson Morrison's proposal for a 50-foot floating dock on Lake Josephine, which will extend 34 feet into the lake. The second is a timber sale proposal by the Washington Department of Natural Resources on 274. 10 acres near Puyallup, involving 2,360 MBF of timber removal.

The dock project, described as a "T" shape structure, requires a substantial development permit and environmental review. The timber sale includes 39,824 feet of pre-haul maintenance and 500 feet of decommissioning. Both projects have comment periods ending July 13 or 14, with Pierce County handling the dock review and the state handling the timber sale.

Puyallup residents with concerns about these projects can submit comments through Pierce County's website. The dock project affects a private lake area, while the timber sale impacts forested areas near the city. Both projects are scheduled for review before final decisions are made.
