The update to Cle Elum’s shoreline management plan was adopted by the city last June and is part of a regional effort led by Kittitas County, also including Ellensburg, and South Cle Elum. Once approved by Ecology, the city’s shoreline program will become part of the overall state shoreline master program.
The locally tailored shoreline program is designed to help minimize environmental damage to shoreline areas, reserve appropriate areas for water-oriented uses and protect people’s access to public land and waters.
