All six local jurisdictions within the Lake Ballinger/McAleer Creek watershed have joined together through a written agreement to prepare a strategic action plan that will address issues related to water quantity and water quality within the drainage basin. The cities of Edmonds, Lake Forest Park, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline and Snohomish County have agreed to language in an interlocal agreement that forms a Watershed Forum to guide the development of a Strategic Action Plan.
The Watershed Forum has its own website where you can find out what is happening with the Strategic Action Plan and get more information about the watershed. Go to: http://www.cityoflfp.com/city/engineering/stormwater/LBal-McACreek.html#mcaleer |
