Rocky Fork work awarded; construction contingent on flood permit and DES/DEQ review
Summary
Officials said the Rocky Fork contract has been awarded and that work will proceed after the contractor’s flood permit is approved; Tetra Tech is the consultant and the permitting process includes a 14‑day public notice and DES/DEQ review.
Speaker 5 reported that the Rocky Fork contract has been awarded and that construction will move forward after the contractor receives the required flood permit. "It has been awarded. And as soon as their flood permit is done and approved, it will come down," Speaker 5 said.
Speaker 5 said the county is using Tetra Tech as a consultant on the project and described anticipated steps in the regulatory review: the permit will be routed to either the Department of Environmental Services (DES) or the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), a 14‑day public notice period will be required, and DES is the funding source for portions of the work. The official said bureaucratic steps could delay the schedule but did not foresee substantive obstacles once documentation is complete.
No detailed dollar figures, firm start dates after permitting, or a formal vote were offered during the session. Speaker 5 said staff will continue coordinating with the consultant and regulatory authorities and will update commissioners when the flood permit is approved and the project is ready to proceed.
Next steps: county staff will track the contractor’s permit application through DES/DEQ, observe the 14‑day public notice period, and report back on permit approval and the construction schedule.
