SB 5684: Highway construction

Addressing environmental mitigation in highway construction.

Summary

  • Requires the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to consider using public lands before it considers using agricultural lands of long-term commercial significance when selecting sites to meet state and federal mitigation requirements for highway construction projects.
  • Provides that if public lands are not available that meet environmental mitigation requirements, the WSDOT may use other lands but must make every effort to avoid any net loss of agricultural lands of long-term commercial significance.
  • Establishes that the WSDOT's authority to meet environmental mitigation requirements through a certified wetland mitigation bank is not restricted by the requirement to consider using public lands before using agricultural lands of long-term commercial significance for environmental mitigation purposes.
