SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:

The Public Works Department respectfully requests that the County Executive and the County Council, acting as the Flood Control Zone District Board of Supervisors, enter into an agreement for the sum of $145,225 with The United States Department of Interior, Geological Survey (USGS). The USGS will provide for continued data collection, real-time data access, and publication of surface water data at 8 stream gaging stations in the Nooksack River Watershed for the 2022 water year (October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022).
