BODY

SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:

The purpose of the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) is to establish and define the obligations and responsibilities of the FCZD and Lummi Nation related to repair of the Lummi (Red) River Levee.  The Lummi (Red) Levee is defined as the left (east)  bank levee of the Lummi River located between Haxton Way and the seawall that surrounds the Lummi Nation’s aquaculture pond.  The land is Lummi Nation Trust Land.  The ILA secures a cost share of 15% of the construction funding required for the levee repair from Lummi Nation.  The project will repair 325 lineal feet of damaged levee during the WDFW approved work window (July 15 to October 1) in 2019 or  2020
