The Terminal 105 restoration project was constructed in 1995 at approximately river mile 0.0. The aim of the project was to test how a restored estuarine habitat could be configured to fit industrial shoreline areas, without impeding important waterway access. The side channel intertidal habitat area is oriented perpendicular to the shoreline to provide essential environmental attributes without foreclosing industrial access to adjacent shoreline areas. Approximately 9,400 cubic yards of previously placed fill were removed to create a 0.6 acre intertidal channel approximately 1,300 feet in length. During construction, an underground fuel tank and a buried vault filled with paint cans and solvent wastes was discovered and removed. Following grading, the restoration site received 0.3 acres of native riparian trees and shrubs and more than 1,100 marsh plants. All site vegetation work was accomplished by community participants. The site is inundated twice daily by tidal water about five feet in depth. Today the site provides 210 feet of shoreline, a fishing pier, picnic tables and shelter and a launch for hand-carried boats.
