The DEIS was issued on June 30th, beginning a 45 day public comment period that ends on August 13th. DERT is working hard to analyze the material within this massive document so that we may convey the important details to others.There are many ways to learn about the DEIS. You can view the document at various locations, including the Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater locations of the Timberland Regional Library system, or at DERT’s office in downtown Olympia. If you would like to review and discuss the DEIS with us, please contact Sue (olydert@gmail.com) or Matthew (mkaras@deschutesestuary.org) to schedule a time to visit. In addition, the kiosks around Heritage park and the pathway around the “Lake” have been updated with information extracted from the DEIS.
DERT will host public outreach events on July 25th, August 1st, and August 8th at the boardwalk pavilion located at the intersection of State Ave and Water St NW in downtown Olympia, from 11 AM to 4 PM each day. We will have a few interactive displays, the DEIS document, and merchandise, and will offer a walking tour that goes over the 5th Ave Dam and around the “Lake”. As the date approaches we will send more information about this event, as well as a virtual community forum that we are planning.
