The Spokane County Shoreline Master Program (SMP) was a county-wide effort to update the Shoreline Management Program via the Shoreline Management Act (SMA) Periodic Review. Utilizing the Department of Ecology SMP checklist, the update was conducted to meet the periodic review requirements. Coordination between Spokane County and the towns and cities residing in the county was a critical piece of the project, as some of the Spokane River touches or transverses through those communities. Agency coordination, particularly with the Department of Ecology, was equally important to the project’s success and final adoption. SCJ managed the process from start to finish, conducting workshops and hearing with the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) for Spokane County.
