Black Diamond Shoreline Master Program: Comprehensive Update

Public comment period is closed

The Washington State Department of Ecology held a public comment period on Black Diamond’s proposed comprehensive update to their Shoreline Master Program. The period for public comment was from November 13 to December 21, 2012.

Ecology used mail and email to notify those who had expressed prior interest. Ecology also issued a news release and provided notice on Ecology’s Public Involvement Calendar to encourage public participation and comment. No public comments were received.  

Next steps: Ecology's decision

Ecology will decide if  Black Diamond’s proposed program update meets the requirements of the Shoreline Management Act and the Shoreline Master Program Guidelines. Ecology will decide whether to:

• Approve the program as is or with recommended changes, or
• Send the proposed program back to the city with required changes to meet statutory and rule requirements. Recommended changes may also be included with the required changes.

Relevant documents will be posted on this website when they become available. Please check back.
