OWEB to Host Public Meeting Focused on Winter Lake Restoration
The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board will host a public meeting on August 29, 2013, from 6-8 pm at the Owens Building in Coquille, 201 N Adams Street, to discuss a request before the Board to fund a restoration project at Winter Lake. The Board will consider the funding request at its meeting in September.
Restoration work proposed for Winter Lake includes reconnecting remnant stream channels to the Coquille River, planting native wetland vegetation, controlling and removing invasive species, removing interior dikes and drainage ditches, and placing large wood in streams. The proposal is being submitted to the OWEB Board for their consideration by The Nature Conservancy.
During the August 29, 2013 public meeting in Coquille, staff and local partners will be available to take comment and answer questions about the potential project.
At their September 10-11 meeting, the OWEB board will consider a $720,000 grant request investment for Winter Lake restoration work. A summary of public comment will be provided to the Board. Interested parties can also provide written public comment, or comment directly to the OWEB Board at their September meeting.
The OWEB Board meeting is scheduled for September 10-11 in Burns, Oregon.
