Title

White Slough Restoration

Description

Restoration of tidal marsh on subsided, diked former tidelands to enhance native wildlife habitat, protect existing transportation infrastructure and beneficially reuse sediment. Sea level rise and dike failure currently threaten to convert subsided marsh in the area to mudflat. Tidal marsh will be restored on approximately 40 acres by first raising surface elevations to levels that will support marsh vegetation, and then breaching the dike around the unit. Surface elevations will be raised by placing up to 200,000 cy of clean sediment. Four existing tidegates in the northern portion of the project area will be modified to establish a muted tide cycle.
