Independent Expert Panel Review of Water and Land Resources Division’s Project Scoping and Implementation Practices  The Independent Expert Panel Review of Water and Land Resources Division's Project Scoping and Implementation Practices presents an external analysis of the division's river and floodplain project practices, describes findings and offers suggestions for improvement. The independent review addresses aspects of river projects such as project scoping, delivery processes, technical assumptions, construction methods, maintenance procedures and post-project monitoring and mitigation.
The report is a synthesis of assessments provided by an independent Expert Panel of river and floodplain management professionals who were selected for their expertise related to four objectives of Water and Land Resource Division (WLRD) river and floodplain projects: protecting public safety, preventing property damage from flooding, recovering salmon, and providing recreation. The report was independently produced by the consulting firm Montgomery Watson Harza of Bellevue, Washington. The Department of Natural Resources and Parks is seeking feedback on the findings and recommendations provided by the Expert Panel. This feedback should be sent to Department Director Christie True at christie.true@kingcounty.gov. Providing feedback provided by March 2, 2012 will enable the development of timely direction for the affected WLRD programs. The Independent Expert Panel Review of Water and Land Resources Division’s Project Scoping and Implementation Practices is provided in Adobe Acrobat format.
