County approves shoreline permit for Beaver Creek Hatchery renovation
Summary
The Wahkiakum County commissioners unanimously approved Shoreline Permit #2026-0003, clearing the way for a multiyear Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife renovation of Beaver Creek Hatchery funded by the legislature.
The Wahkiakum County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved Shoreline Permit #2026-0003 on April 28, 2026, authorizing the chair to sign permit documents for the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife's Beaver Creek Hatchery renovation. Commissioner Mark Letham and Commissioner Lee Tischer moved and seconded the approval; the motion passed with votes recorded as Aye — Tischer, Letham and Cothren.
Dave Hicks, the county Building Inspector/Planner, described the project to the board and said "this proposed project replaces most structures and facilities at the Beaver Creek Hatchery" and that the work will be completed over multiple fiscal bienniums with legislative funding. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the shoreline permit before the board's vote. The approval permits WDFW to proceed with shoreline work under the county's permitting framework; the permit record does not specify construction timelines beyond the multiyear, biennial funding plan.
