CASTLE ROCK BOAT RAMP CURRENT VELOCITY IMPROVEMENT

Notice of application and request for comments on Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit and
Notice of SEPA Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance

The City of Castle Rock Public Works Department has filed an application for a Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit to construct a rock groin in the Cowlitz River immediately upstream of the Al Helenberg Memorial public boat launch. The groin is proposed to be constructed upstream of the toe of the ramp between the shoreline and existing floating log boom. The purpose of the groin is to improve boat launch safety by redirecting flow and therefore reducing velocity at the site.

In order to offset unavoidable impacts associated with the project, the applicants propose to restore and enhance a stretch of Whittle Creek located approximately one half mile south of the proposed boat launch site (parcel numbers 309100100, 309130100, 309330100, WJ1502001).
