The Department of State Lands is signing off on a plan for wetlands mitigation in The Dalles.  Officials in The Dalles have been working with state officials on the plan for about years, particularly to deal with what are called vernal pools that are located on about 200 acres of land marked for industrial development in The Dalles.  Port of The Dalles Executive Director Andrea Klaas says the plan means there is now a specific timeline for development to occur on the parcels that were a part of this process.  She says a developer wants to come in and mitigate wetlands, they can take the plan and know they can develop the site in short order.  She expects the process will be streamlined to about nine to 12 months with this plan.
