Longview — The Cowlitz County commissioners Tuesday approved an agreement to shift $50,000 from the road fund to help the Cowlitz Conservation District with a restoration project along the Kalama River near Camp Kalama RV Park.
Camp Kalama is located at 5055 Meeker Drive, just south of Interstate 5 exit 32.
The project includes installing a wooden structure along the eroding bank to improve stability, help reduce fine sediment, create habitat, restore first migration and improve water quality, according to the preliminary design documents. The project will also include planting forest riparian buffer vegetation between the roads and the river’s edge.
