The Washington Department of Ecology and San Juan County will hold a joint public hearing in council’s legislative hearing room on April 21, on an ordinance to amend the shoreline regulations for the required periodic review. Ecology staff will participate via SKYPE. Within 30 days after the public hearing, county must send Ecology all comments and the county’s response to them.

Written comments sent to SMPcomments@sanjuanco.com or Community Development are preferred, especially under current circumstances. Written comments are easy to track and transmit to Ecology. The county will implement social distancing procedures at the hearing if anyone wants to testify in person. If requested in your written submittal, staff will read your written comments into the record.
