What's happening now. 

The last Chimacum Creek Community meeting was held at the Chimacum Grange on February 26, 2020. Since that time over 20 property owners signed up for the Conservation Districts Creek Flow Restoration Project that will be funded by a $50,000 grant the Conservation District received. Those landowners were contacted by the Conservation District and sent a Cost Share Contract Agreement. Landowners interested in participating are required to:

1. Sign the Contract for Cost Share Funds.
2. Wait for approval from the Conservation District after July 1, 2020.
3. Hire a qualified contractor to do the work.
4. Contractors are to contact the Conservation District to coordinate work efforts.
5. Landowners are required to pay 100% of the Contractor Fees, then they may submit a copy of the invoice and proof of payment to the Conservation District.
6. The Conservation District will submit a request for reimbursement to the Washington State Conservation District.
7. Within 30-45 days after, homeowners can expect to receive a reimbursement check for 75% of the cost of work (not to exceed the amount shown on the cost-share agreement). 

So what happens if you can't afford this? 

A Drainage District would protect landowners by having the financial stability to assist with projects with minimal, if any, out of pocket expenses from landowners. Please go to the Drainage District page to learn more!
