The King County Flood Control District and the Snoqualmie Watershed Forum will host a community meeting and open house on the Tolt River Corridor Action Plan, a flood-risk reduction project underway to improve public safety and salmon habitat while keeping long-term river management costs low. The meeting is 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 15 at Tolt Middle School, 3740 Tolt Ave., Carnation.

A half-hour open house will begin and end the meeting, so residents can talk with the project team, provide input and share their priorities for the river.

The presentation starts at 7 p.m. with findings from a recent technical study of the lower Tolt’s existing conditions, like flood hazards, transportation, and habitat quality.

The study area includes a six-mile stretch of the river from the confluence of the Tolt and Snoqualmie Rivers, near the City of Carnation, to the end of Tolt River Road Northeast and 361st Avenue Northeast.

The next phase of the project is to evaluate possible river management actions such as setting back levees, acquiring property, and altering or improving roads or bridges.
