5 1. Introduction and Project Background Site and Project History Purpose and Need, Goals, and Challenges Project Context 4

6 Site History: Timeline Pre-settlement: Uses by Native Americans included extensive clam digging and fishing Early 1900s: Site is logged 1930s: Fox family purchases, establishes residence, and uses site for clandestine rum running operations 1940s 1970 South Basin used for Wa 85 Water Su 5

7 Site History: Timeline : City of Burien established 1996: King County transfers park to City of Burien : Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife denies proposal to place more rock (gabion) to protect south seawall 2000: Puget So listed as under th Species A 6

8 Project History: Timeline 2001: Master Planning Begins 2002: Master Plan adopted by City Council 2005: Phase 1A (City/USACE) South Seawall removal completed 2006: Phase 1B (City/NOAA/SR FB): Phase 1 vegetation restoration completed 2007: City acq (31acres Brown fa increasin to prese 183-acre 7

9 Project Purpose, Need, and Constraints Extensive park armoring has degraded nearshore habitat There are significant restoration benefits on site and downdrift Rare opportunity, landscape position, size of park s shoreline Significant recreational and educational use is constraint/opportunity 8

10 Ecosystem Restoration Goals Preserve existing high-functioning nearshore habitats Restore and protect the natural bluffto-beach sediment process Restore beach slopes and substrates Restore forage-fish spawning, juvenile salmon rearing, and migration intertidal habitats Restore upland and shallow intertidal habitat connectivity Diversify habitat in the freshwater/saltwater interface Before After 9

11 Habitat Preservation and Restoration Zones 10

12 Process-based Restoration Approach Wave energy Sediment Process delivery Sediment transport Conceptual Model: The role of Puget Sound nearshore beaches in sustaining forage fish Beach profile Sediment Structure grain size Beach temperature Forage fish spawning Function and production Food web support Source, Conceptual Model: PSNERP and Simenstad et al. 2006; Penttila

13 Park Renovation Goals Locate Park Facilities Where Compatible with Habitat Processes Improve Disabled (ADA) Access Improve Access to Beach Protect and Support Educational Facilities and Programs No Net Loss of Recreational Facilities Improve Functionality and Availability of Recreation Amenities Long-term Sustainability/Durability 12

14 Key Project Challenges Uncertainties with Funding a $11 Million Project Balancing Habitat Restoration with Recreation and Educational Uses Cultural Resources Long Implementation Timeframe Sea-level Rise Construction Timing, Access, and Seasonal Site Conditions Utility Relocations Landslide Management and Environmentally Critical Areas 13
