BACKGROUND: The Washington Department of Ecology (ECY) awarded a Floodplains by Design grant (SEAFBD-2325-SnCoCN-00046) to Snohomish County, Surface Water Management Division for the Community Floodplain Solutions (CFS) - Phase 3 Implementation. Phase 3 of CFS is focused on implementing the projects that were designed and permitted as part of Floodplains by Design (FbD) funding for Phases 1 and 2, but also continue the development of a pipeline of new projects in the Snohomish Watershed. It is a cooperative effort between many partners aimed at working collaboratively to increase ecological function; reduce impact to local infrastructure from flooding and sediment transport; protect and enhance farmland productivity; and improve water quality and recreational opportunities in the community.
