Background
Lakeside Industries, Inc. submitted an application for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment in November 2016 proposing amendments to Policy E.5 of the Nisqually Subarea Plan. This item was officially docketed by the BoCC in 2017, and work has been on-going since. As currently stated, Policy E.5 precludes the recycling of asphalt in the subarea due to water quality concerns The proposed amendment would allow the recycling of asphalt pavement to occur as an accessory use within the mined-out portion of gravel pits in the Nisqually Subarea.
Copies of proposed amendments are available online at: https://www.thurstoncountywa.gov/planning/Pages/comp-plan-cp11-home.aspx.
