    Des Moines Creek Basin Committee: Options for Moving Forward

    This April 2023 presentation by Erin Nelson outlines options for the Des Moines Creek Basin Committee as it prepares to renew its Interlocal Agreement (ILA), a cooperative arrangement among local jurisdictions managing the creek basin near Des Moines, Washington. The meeting agenda covers a review of past studies and committee accomplishments, a discussion of what has worked and what needs improvement, and a decision on workable paths forward. While focused on stormwater and creek basin management rather than airport noise policy directly, the Des Moines Creek basin is located adjacent to Sea-Tac Airport and its management is relevant to the broader environmental context of the surrounding area.
