Lorita Humble, who identified herself as a Lake Kavanaugh resident, addressed commissioners during the Feb. 18, 2025 public‑comment period about proposed shoreline restoration work and local recycling options.

Humble presented cost comparisons for three approaches she had researched: KBN Walls at approximately $2.1 million, soldier piling at about $3.9 million, and Ready Rock at about $2.6 million. She said a representative from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife told her that the site would not require permits from that department and that the area is not fish habitat due to steep slope and depth. Humble said the DFW representative favored Ready Rock over soldier pilings because of concerns soldier pilings could deteriorate and impact the lake.

Humble told commissioners she had contacted Betsy Stevenson of Shoreline Management, who said she could not advise without a submitted design plan. Humble also reported feedback from a Solid Waste Advisory Committee meeting in which she said 68% of participants favored a local recycling solution; she urged against siting a centralized dumpster near the shoreline because of a risk of increased litter and recommended curbside recycling collection at existing turnaround points instead.

Humble requested the commissioners review Ready Rock documentation and consider that option in any design decisions. No permits, formal project proposals, or county decisions were announced during the public comment; the comments were recorded for the public record and will inform future project design and permitting processes.

The resident concluded by offering to discuss the matter further with county staff.
