SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:

 

The Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration (PSAR) fund supports projects that recover salmon and protect and recover salmon habitat in Pugent Sound. The State Legislature appropriates money for PSAR every 2 years in the Capital Budget. PSAR is co-managed by the Puget Sound Partnership and the Recreation and Conservation Office. Local entities identify and propose PSAR projects. The Salmon Recovery Funding Board prioritizes projects for funding. Whatcom County has submitted an application on behalf of the Stewart Mountain Community Forest Phase I and the Acme Floodplain projects in a combined application entitled South Fork Nooksack River Intergrated Floodplain Reconnection. This application, if funded will provided $3.7 million in reimbursement funds for the purchase of these two properties. This resolution authorizes Excutive Sidhu to act as the authorized representative for Whatcom County
