DESCRIPTION
This proposal is for armor removal and shoreline restoration within Agate Beach County Park and the neighboring property to the south. Agate Beach is on Outer Bay, at the southwest corner of Lopez Island. The project addresses an area of hard armoring that limits bluff erosion and beach nourishment in a PIAT II Tier 1 habitat area. The project will  remove armor and restore natural bluff erosion and beach nourishment processes on approximately 700 feet of shoreline. With armor removal, the feeder bluff that feeds the beach to the north will fully function.The project site is the primary feeder bluff for the Outer Bay pocket beach.The project site is located in the top 3% of priority salmon recovery shoreforms in San Juan County. The site includes rearing habitat for outmigrating juvenile salmon, a feeder bluff updrift of a documented surf smelt spawning site, and potential sand lance spawning habitat.  Key to this project is moving the road away from the shoreline.   San Juan County Public Works secured federal funding to move MacKaye Harbor Rd to the east of Agate Beach Park, and that design is in progress.  While these are two separate projects, the restoration project will follow construction of Mackaye Harbor Rd at its new location.
