A design report will be developed that evaluates the potential for restoring habitat functions in historic river channels that are now partially blocked off from the mainstem Skagit River in the Sedro-Woolley area. The project will benefit Chinook rearing habitat.The first phase of the project will be a survey of the site. From that information, an engineering map will be produced. The engineering map will include topographic relief, property lines, ownership, utilities, flood and low flow elevations, channels, and riparian areas. The second phase will be coordination with key stakeholders, mainly the property owners and with other agencies. Coordination will include development and oversight of a steering committee. Coordination efforts will lead to the third phase, production of the design report and project development. Based on the results of coordination, an alternative analyses will be conducted and a recommended action selected. A cost estimate, conceptual design, and proposed funding sources will be developed for the recommended action. Finally, SEPA documentation and other necessary permits will be developed for the selected alternative.
