The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wants to get the locals’ take on its proposals for flood-control projects in the Skagit Valley.
A video of the corps’ presentation of 38 flood-control measures given Aug. 18 to a Skagit County flood-control advisory committee can be viewed on cable television or the Internet.
Corps officials have said that public comment is essential because the agency doesn’t have enough information to choose projects without that input.
“None of them are an easy slam-dunk project,” said Linda Smith, chief planner for the corps. “That’s why we need so much public input, and agency and tribal input.”
The 2 1/2-hour presentation will air on Comcast Skagit21 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. every day for one week, beginning today.
The video of the meeting will be available on the Skagit21 page of the county Web site, http://www.skagitcounty.net, starting Friday.
Public comments may be e-mailed to Lorna Ellestad, , or mailed or hand-delivered to her at 1800 Continental Place, Mount Vernon.
The deadline for comments is Sept. 30.
