This construction project will improve and restore conditions of impacted nearshore processes, like tidal flow and cross shore connectivity along an estuary-embayment on five private parcels in Dyes Inlet. The project site is a 10-acre embayment with salt marsh and open lagoon bounded by a barrier spit, unique for the area. This bulkhead removal project will also increase beach and backshore habitats for spawning and rearing forage fish, out-migrating juvenile salmonids, and other species that utilize the nearshore. The 60% preliminary designs (permit-ready) propose to remove 514 linear feet of shore armor with significant fill and scattered debris removal and add beach nourishment and native vegetation planting to reestablish natural conditions of the embayment. The project elements also include a return wall where necessary and incorporates recreational access to the shoreline. To achieve project goals the defined objectives are: Remove largest extent feasible of shore armor (514 linear feet of rockery bulkhead, revetment, and pilings) Remove a large volume of non-native fill and replace approximately 15,065 SF of lawn with upper intertidal, salt marsh, backshore, and marine riparian vegetation Reestablish a larger estuary-embayment area and more natural saltmarsh profile through fill removal and adding 779 CY of beach nourishment
