Although we have had a relatively mild winter, we are experiencing several threats to roadways on the West End that
are worsening with each event. The most recent high flow event occurred on Jan 11th and although it was nothing
unusual, the sites got noticeably worse. Given the high likelihood that we will need to start armoring these areas and
will need emergency authorization from WDFW and possibly and expedited contracting process, I would recommend
that we do an emergency declaration due to threat to road infrastructure. The worst sites are the following:
Oil City Rd MP 10
Quinault South Shore MP 1.2
Upper Hoh Road MP 4.1
