The state Department of Ecology is asking people to comment on a plan to restore about 115 acres of estuary along north Port Susan and south Skagit Bay and enhance 72 acres of freshwater wetlands on the project site. The deadline to comment is Sept. 1. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife and Ducks Unlimited want to build two setback levees and remove two old failing levees near Eide Road on Leque Island between Stanwood and Camano Island. The plan calls for the reconfiguration of existing ditches, culverts and tidegates to better support a freshwater wetland habitat. Parking spots and recreation trails also are planned.
