Courtesy photo Drivers heading through Shelton on State Route 3 can expect ongoing delays as the Washington State Department of Transportation works to stabilize an eroding slope adjacent to Oakland Bay near the Shelton Yacht Club. The slope began to give way Friday afternoon before the roadway was closed to one lane. A 75-foot-long section of the shoulder has sloughed approximately 6 feet at the site, and there is no estimate on how long repairs will take to complete. Journal photo by Natalie Johnson Dick Taylor, Port of Shelton commission chair, asked for clarification in some parts of the port's draft Forest Management Plan update. Port sets public hearing to amend forest plan By NATALIE JOHNSON The Port of Shelton com- mission further discussed a plan to sell 100 acres of port-owned timber Tues- day. The commission also set a public hearing for Tues- day, April 3, to hear pub- lic comment on proposed changes to its Forest Man- agement Plan. "On the 21st of Febru- ary we had a conversation about doing a timber har- vest on Johns Prairie," port Executive Director John Dobson said. At that meeting, the port commission heard a pre- sentation from Joe Staley of North Wind Timber Con- sultants on the feasibility of harvesting 100 acres of timber at the port's Johns Prairie Industrial Site. Dobson said the port needed to take several steps before it could receive bids and approve the sale of the timber. First, the port needs to update its Forest Manage- ment Plan, Dobson said. Engineering technician Brandon Palmer provided the port commission with an updated version of the plan during its meeting on Tuesday. He said many of the changes to the plan, which hadn't been updated since 2002, were to clean up difficult-to-understand lan- guage. Palmer's draft of the plan also includes updated in- formation about laminated root rot on the property, tree thinning and the size of trees on the property.
