Shoreline Master Program Update Comments

Washington’s Shoreline Management Act (SMA) was passed by the Legislature in 1971 and adopted by the public in a 1972 referendum. The SMA governs the use and development of shorelines in Washington State. Specifically, it strives to balance responsible shoreline development with environmental protection and public access.

Okanogan County Regional Shoreline Master Program (SMP) is intended to carry out the policies of the SMA, regulating new development and use of state shorelines. SMPs are based on state laws and rules, but are tailored to the unique geographic, economic, and environmental needs of Okanogan County.

Under the SMA, each city and county with "shorelines of the state" must develop and adopt its own shoreline master program to regulate local shoreline use and development.

Currently the SMP has started the adoption process.  Part of that process is having the document available for public comment.  Submit comments on the Okanogan County Regional Shoreline Master Program below.
