Welcome

A virtual public meeting to discuss the Greenwater River CMZ was held Tuesday, Nov. 16, 2021, from 6-8 p.m. on Zoom. The following meeting materials are available:

King County, as service provider to the King County Flood Control District, recently completed a draft channel migration zone study and map on the Greenwater River. 

The Greenwater River CMZ study identifies where future channel migration is expected to occur along 1.2 miles of the river. Following the public comment period and public meeting, the study and map will be finalized, and a public rule amendment will be adopted. Once adopted, the CMZ hazard areas become regulated under the King County Code to reduce flood risks to the public.
