- 6. SITE HISTORY 1908 and 1912- Bridges were constructed with one across each channel connecting Indian Isl. and Marrowstone Isl. 1940- bridges removed and large culverts installed 1958- large culverts taken out and replaced with current small undersized culverts.
- 8. PROJECT NEED: ON A LOCAL LEVEL
- 9. Goal: To re-create over 10-20 acres of historic tidal channels and reconnect salt marsh between southern Kilisut Harbor and Oak Bay.
- 10. FISH, SHELLFISH AND WATERFOWL HABITAT http://www.visitthedragon.com
- 11. ACCESS TO PRODUCTIVE MARINE HABITAT
- 12. IMPROVE WATER QUALITY -High water temperature and nutrient buildup caused by poor flushing coupled with a high sunlight level results in heavy phytoplankton blooms. August, 2013 -Phytoplankton die off and decomposition depletes oxygen -Results in poor water quality and consequent shellfish kills.
- 13. THE PARTNERS AND FUNDERS $627,475 $7-9 Million Design and Engineering Construction of tidal channels and new roadway/bridge
- 14. PROJECT NEED: THE BIGGER PICTURE
- 15. THE BUILDERS AND DESIGNERS -Have worked with WSDOT on 8 consecutive bridge structural agreements and on-going restoration design work. Understand WSDOT design process -Developed Kilisut Harbor conceptual design for PSNERP -Jack Bjork, project manager, has 37 year of experience in water resource in civil engineering work. -Coastal Geologic Services (CGS) has specialized in providing comprehensive nearshore services in Puget Sound since their inception in 1993 - CGS was a key part of Sound-wide analyses for the US Army Corps of Engineers and PSNERP, and has written several important guidance documents for WDFW. -KPFF developed the bridge concepts for this project when they worked on the site as part of the Puget Sound Nearshore Ecological Restoration Project and will provide bridge and road design. -Their bridge group has designed bridges for all of the key stakeholders including WSDOT, US Navy and the Department of Natural Resources. -Shannon & Wilson is well known for innovative geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and environmental services for a variety of shoreline habitat restoration and bridge projects and will provide geotechnical expertise for this project. - WEST will provide hydraulic modeling on this project. - WEST engineers are experts in the development and application of hydrologic, hydraulic, sediment transport, and water quality computer models. -NTI will provide surveying services on this project. - NTI has a staff trained and experienced in all areas of Land Surveying, Civil Engineering, Material Testing and Geotechnical Engineering.
