PORT ANGELES — The city Planning Commission approved a shoreline substantial development permit Wednesday night for the proposed state Department of Transportation graving yard.
The approval included nine conditions, such as evaluation of the site by a cultural archeologist, drainage plan, erosion control plan, no work waterward of the ordinary high water mark, city approval of an excavation disposal site if located within the city limits and meeting environmental conservation measures.
The approval doesn’t need to be reviewed by the City Council.
The project will also require permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, state Department of Ecology, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, state Fish and Wildlife Department and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department.
