This project includes the design and removal of approximately 400 feet of creosote wood bulkhead on two parcels (one private landowner) adjacent to Barker Creek on the eastern shore of Dyes Inlet. The site was selected after being identified in the Kitsap County Sediment Source Analysis as located in a priority drift cell and priority restoration reach. The project is one of the final steps of an EPA-funded Kitsap Regional Shoreline Restoration Project and will be a voluntary, public-private partnership demonstration project for bulkhead removal. The private landowner has actively participated in all decision making with respect to the design. The design has elements of soft-shore techniques: slope re-contouring and re-vegetation, and large wood placement. Bulkhead removal with no other intervening techniques spans 200 feet plus of the shoreline. The construction contract has been awarded and construction is planned for the end of June 2014.
