Vashon-Maury Island Reconnaissance Report

The Vashon-Maury Island Reconnaissance Report provides a comprehensive inventory of the island's surface water needs and is based on reconnaissance performed by consultants working with King County government. The report lists priority drainage and water quality projects, acquisitions, studies and programs that would all be funded over time by surface water management fees dedicated to King County's capital budget. The document and the public comments (Acrobat PDF file) it generated help guide the surface water-related work King County performs for island residents.
