The Portland Corps of Engineers has been authorized to study the feasibility of providing erosion control and ecosystem restoration in the Vancouver Lake watershed, U.S. Rep. Brian Baird announced today.
Baird, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said he secured authorization through a committee resolution, which does not need Senate approval.
The Vancouver Lake Watershed Partnership will coordinate all development and conservation in the area, according to Baird.
