Washington Department of Transportation's (WSDOT) flawed environmental plan for widening SR520.
The NW Regional Administrator for WSDOT states "WSDOT is accountable during 520 widening to several local, State and Federal agencies for permits...to ensure the project can be completed with practical environmental impact.
FACT: WSDOT is not complying to the City of Redmond Critical Area Ordinance on sustaining 150 foot Creek buffers.
FACT: WSDOT is not accountable to the Washington State Dept. Ecology for "no net loss" during wetland mitigation sequencing.
FACT: WSDOT is not accountable to the Federal/State Endangered Species Act for Bear Creek Listed Chinook salmon.
The WSDOT design does not ensure environmental measures are practical to anyone but themselves.
