NOTICE:

On Thursday, March 11th the City of Newport will be holding a Local Wetland Inventory Information Workshop from 6:00p.m. to 8:00p.m at City Hall in the City Council Chambers. The City has been planning to conduct a Local Wetland Inventory (LWI) for some time and can now begin because of a recently awarded grant from the Department of State Lands. The inventory area will include all land within the City and its Urban Growth Boundary. Although a lot of information can be gathered using aerial photos and topographical maps, the most accurate information can only be acquired with the permission of landowners allowing on-the-ground site visits. If you think your property contains or is adjacent to wetland or riparian (streams or drainages) resources, or if you are simply interested in the process of conducting a LWI, we invite you to attend this information workshop. City and state agency staff will be on hand to describe the process of an LWI, why it is necessary, how it can used as a planning tool for the City and for landowners, and to answer any questions landowners may have. We hope to see you at City Hall this Thursday. For more information contact Senior Planner Meredith Savage at 541-574-5464, or at m.savage@thecityofnewport.net.
