Pursuant to Chapter 36.61 RCW, the Board of Clallam County Commissioners hereby establishes Lake Sutherland Management District 2. The District is established after an election conducted pursuant to Chapter 36.61 RCW at which a majority of those casting ballots voted in favor of the District’s formation.

The purpose of the Lake Management District (LMD) is to protect Lake Sutherland’s beneficial uses, water quality, and wildlife habitat. It has been determined that Lake Sutherland contains Eurasian watermilfoil, a noxious weed. Containment and removal of Eurasian watermilfoil, which can inhibit multiple recreational activities such as boating, swimming and fishing, diminish aesthetic and economic values, and impair water quality and wildlife habitat, is a benefit to all lake residents who have significant opportunity for the enjoyment of the lake through active and passive recreation.
