As a part of the lower Dungeness River floodplain restoration, Towne Road between 2,133-2,753 feet (about two-thirds of a mile) will be removed or relocated.

Clallam County commissioners want to gather input from the public on the options developed by a local stakeholder group before making their decision.

The public is invited to attend an informational open house from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, March 19, at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, Sequim.

In the lower Dungeness River, Clallam County and its partners have worked on floodplain restoration and an Army Corps levee setback since the late 1990s.

Floodplain restoration through levee setback will help to recover salmon runs, reduce flood risks, improve water quality and improve the health of Dungeness Bay.

Construction of a new levee will begin in 2016-2017.

If you cannot attend, send your comments to Clallam County Public Works, 223 E. Fourth St., Ste. 6, Port Angeles, WA, 98362; or e-mail roads@co.clallam.wa.us.

Deadline for comment is March 31.
