Pierce County is supporting community-generated solutions to issues faced by community members in the Clear Creek watershed. Pierce County conducted a facilitated process in which the community worked together to create solutions that achieved results desired by the people who live and work there. The county selected a consultant who held stakeholder interviews. These interviews were conducted to help the team better understand landowners’ and other interested parties’ motivations, values and concerns to facilitate a community-driven solution. The results of these interviews were also used to help staff prepare for workshops held in early 2019.
Along with the release of the draft Strategy Plan, Pierce County held a 60-day comment period. We received a small amount of comments from residents and project partners and did not expect substantive changes in the updated Strategy Plan. With the closing of the 60-day comment period, Pierce County worked in 2020 to revise the Strategy Plan.
If you have additional comments for the revised Strategy Plan or would like to schedule a meeting or conference call, please contact Angela Angove at [email protected] or 253-798-2460.

A strategy plan is developed to provide a long-range vision for a community or program. They are like road maps - helping chart a course between the present and an intended destination. The plan is flexible with living guidelines and policies and able to adjust and adapt.
The revised strategy plan builds on and supplements the existing work on the Clear Creek Flooding Project. The revised strategy plan developed the vision and framework that will guide the prioritization of farm, fish and floodplain elements in the area.
The revised strategy plan includes:
- Vision and goals for the project
- Purpose and need - including a needs assessment for farm, fish and floodplain
- Planning context with related planning efforts in the area
- Stakeholder input and needs and stakeholder communication plan
- Implementation strategies and action plans for projects, studies and processes such as schedule and funding strategies
Pierce County Surface Water Management has worked over 18 months from 2019-2020 with partner organizations, other Pierce County departments, tribes, stakeholders and residents through a series of workshops and meetings to develop key components of the revised Strategy Plan.
The revised Strategy Plan remains available at the link below. Pierce County worked with the community and its partners to address important needs in the Clear Creek/Riverside area. Between 2019-2020, residents and stakeholders have worked to develop key components of the revised Strategy Plan.
