The Oak Lodge Sanitary District (OLSD) will hold a Public Meeting on Thursday, April 19, 2012, from 5:30 to 6:30pm in the Conference Room of the District's Administrative Office Building at 14611 SE River Rd.

The District adopted a Surface Water Management Plan in March 2011 and held a public meeting to receive comments. Due to an appeal, the Plan's implementation was delayed. The District is progressing with the 2011 Plan, but must hold an additional public meeting to receive comments. The changes from the 2011 Plan are limited only to reflecting the new, relevant fiscal year (2011/2012 to 2012/2013). The subject document is available on the District's website and for review at the District office at 14611 SE River Road.
