Bank Stabilization

Pend Oreille County

The POCD Bank Stabilization Educational Webpage is designed to provide accurate and up to date information for the landowners of Pend Oreille County. The majority of presentations provided in the webpage were offered at workshops through-out the county. The resulting level of interest and calls for more information lead to creation of this webpage.

Presentations have been updated as necessary. Links, websites and an acronym glossary are provided to answer questions and promote continued learning.

The information provided assists Pend Oreille County landowners with learning how and when permits are required, bank stabilization techniques, funding sources and where to find assistance. If you require further information please contact: Peggy Watts at 509-447-4217 or email her at peggy@pocd.org
