Huntingdon Connector Project
Applicant: Northwest Williams Pipeline
File: 202602451
Proposed project: Huntingdon Connector Compressor Upgrades Project; Williams Northwest Pipeline LLC (Northwest) is proposing a project to increase the efficiency and capacity of Northwest’s existing natural gas pipeline system by uprating and modifying equipment at four of Northwest’s existing compressor stations: Sumas (Whatcom County), Mt. Vernon (Skagit County), Snohomish (Snohomish County), and Sumner (Pierce County). The Project is designed to deliver up to 77.99 thousand decatherms per day (Mdth/d) of incremental firm transportation capacity in western Washington. The project optimizes fuel usage by uprating and re-wheeling existing compressor units, installing emissions reducing equipment, and providing incremental firm transportation capacity through efficiency gains at the existing Project compressor stations. All construction activities will occur within previously developed industrial sites, avoiding new land disturbance or impacts to surrounding land uses.
Locations:
* Sumas Compressor Station, 4738 Jones Road, Sumas, WA 98295
* Mt. Vernon Compressor Station,1539 Lange Road, Mount Vernon, WA 98273
* Snohomish Compressor Station, 22902 Echo Lake Road, Snohomish, WA 9829

Drainage and Diking Improvement District 7 Levee Improvement Emergency Repairs – HOT
Applicant: City of Stanwood
Aquatics ID 146119
Location: Marine shoreline along Skagit Bay and the West Pass of the Stillaguamish River, Stanwood, Snohomish County
Description: The City of Stanwood and Diking District 7 are proposing emergency repairs to two sections of a levee damaged during a king tide and wind event in January of 2026. The eroded portion of the levee will be prepared by removing existing vegetation and riprap and then placing structural fill. The repaired levee crest will be widened to 12 feet and raised to a crest elevation of 14 feet (NAVD88). The first levee section between 23+00 to 50+00 will be armored with riprap and quarry spalls. The second levee section between 60+00 to 80+00 will not be armored. This levee repair will impact approximately 1 acre of Category I estuarine wetland along the shoreline of Skagit Bay. Compensatory mitigation for this wetland impact will occur during restoration of 11.7 acres of tidal wetlands along the West Pass of the Stillaguamish River. This restoration will occur in a future phase of repair for this 15,800-foot-long levee that is still awaiting permits

SR 530 Sauk River Roadway Embankment – Stabilization – HOT
Applicant: WA Department of Transportation, WSDOT
Aquatics ID 146406
Location: SR 530 between milepost (MP) 58.6 and 59.2, Skagit County
Description: WA DOT is proposing a roadway embankment stabilization project along the Sauk River on SR 530. The proposed construction is planned to begin in the summer of 2027 and may continue through summer 2029. Construction will consist of the installation of two timber reefs and seven dolotimber ELJs totaling 985 linear feet of additional bank protection. The structures are designed to collect and retain wood and will be vegetated with native trees to offer increased longterm stability and shade for the Sauk River. The structures are located in between previously installed bank protection features during emergency flood responses. Both the dolotimber and timber reef structures will have significant quantities of large woody material incorporated into the structures in varying formations which will add habitat complexity, help lower water velocities along the streambank which will create fish refuge, increase roughness to recruit additional large wood, and provide additional cover and shade along the banks. Work would include placement of temporary fill in 0.05 acre of wetland, and permanent fill 1.14 acres of stream below OHWL to construct the bank stabilization, and temporary impacts to stream of 0.36 acre for construction needs and access.
