YOUR PROJECT
What is your"Public Facilities" project?
Please provide a brief description of your project in the space below.
This project consists of multiple smaller flood reduction projects similar to those outlined in the attached
report. A long standing issue is the annual closure of roads and businesses and inundation of parking
lots due to failures of drainage structures. Every winter intersections and roads are closed for days due
to flood water inundation.The Lewis County Flood Control District#1 (LCFCD#1)has several studies
performed by civil engineers analyzing where the flood water comes from, where its supposed to go
and why it isn't going there due to poorly functioning drainage structures.
Five key projects have been identified to reduce the road and intersection flooding and closures. The
design, engineering and construction costs for these projects is estimated at $1.56M. The Flood
Authority is being approached for 90%of the funds,and this grant request is for a 10%local match.
Besides keeping businesses open and roads open for commerce,this project will lessen the need for the
County and City to reprair flood damaged road shoulders and surfaces annually. This will keep roads
open for emergency services to respond to life threatening incidents. Finally, fish(Dace, Stickleback,
Sculpin, Cutthroat, and Coho) exist in Dillytwig Creek and this project will improve fish health and
habitat.
How Will This Project Create Or Retain Business Or Jobs?
"Jobs"are defined by the.og advisory committee as employment that produces products and services and
exports products and services outside of Lewis County that results in new money coming into the community.
This is traditionally manufacturing,logistics,and other production facilities.This typically excludes retail and
service sectors and other tertiary jobs producers.
When businesses can't operate or their employees can't get to work production is lost, wages are lost,
and business revenues are reduced. Hundreds of local workers can't work during each day of these
localized flood events. Affected industrial businesses report that they lose hundreds of thousands of
dollars per day when their plants close. Not only do the workers and businesses lose money, but the
effects are then passed on to local business suppliers,landlords of workforce housing,and local retailers
and service businesses of all kinds.
Closures of roads and flooded parking lots also discourage new businesses from locating and/or building
in the industrial park,putting Lewis County at a disadvantage when working to attract new jobs. This
project will reduce or eliminate that problem. Construction of the projects will create approximately 20
direct or indirect construction jobs and put the$1.56M into the local economy.

community of match funds. Moving forward would focus on further refining the proposed
action for the environmental and biological assessment and subsequent permitting
applications. A letter was received from Senator Braun showing support of the application. Dan
Keahey asked if the $750,000 was open ended. Matt stated that there is a sunset date in the .09
policy. Matt stated that this is a business retention project and without this we suffer in
economic growth.
8:45 A.M.: Dan Keahey made a motion to approve the application and .09 grant of$750,000.00
for the Chehalis River Basin Flood Control Zone District Application payable within 18 months.

cannot get to work when streets are flooded, and local businesses have to close. Randy stated
that these issues affect that whole area, not only the businesses, as roads close and prohibit
access to other businesses in the area. Deliveries cannot get through. Rick stated, "we met with
J. Vander Stoep to come up with a match. We will strongly advocate for funds in the next
biennium. If the Flood Authority will approve 90% then the .09 grant will provide the 10% local
match.

contingent on the approval of 90%from the Flood Authority. Edna Fund provided a second to
