Grant Summary

Greenbank Beach and Boat Club (GBBC), with the support of Whidbey Island Conservation District (WICD), has received a grant from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) to fund the second phase of a multi-phased project to address GBBC's privately owned, aging tidegate system.  This second phase follows the Greenbank Marsh Restoration Issues Assessment (Phase I) which was completed in November 2017.  See 2016-2017 Greenbank Marsh Restoration Issues Assessment (Phase 1) or Greenbank Marsh Project Overview pages for more information regarding work leading up to Phase 2 - Restoration Design.

Goal

The goal of this second phase is to refine the conceptual "open channel" designs from Phase I into “permit-ready” designs for the subsequent construction phase.  The scope of work includes completing 90% engineered designs, applying for construction permits, and continuing stakeholder outreach and consultation. ​

Grant Management

  • GBBC received the grant from RCO. GBBC is contracting with WICD to handle financial and reporting tasks, oversight of technical consultants, and design/permitting tasks.
  • GBBC has sole responsibility for all decisions regarding expenditure of the grant monies.

Scope of Work

  • Stakeholder outreach and consultation
  • Engineering Design technical analyses to be completed by consultants:
    • Channel outlet design and verification of tidal conditions (based on coastal geomorphic and H&H data)
    • Refine hydraulic modeling to further evaluate potential for flooding in marsh
    • Geotechnical investigation and dike design
    • Biological issues assessment 
  • Engineering design and drawings, including additional field studies
  • Permit applications (including pre-application meeting with Island Co)
  • Develop funding opportunities and apply for construction funding

Schedule

  • Start date: 1/19/18
  • Stakeholder outreach: throughout grant period
  • Field studies, including water level and salinity baseline monitoring: begin March 2018
  • Publish RFP for engineering consultants and hire consultants: July 2018
  • 90% design complete: July 2019
  • Draft permit applications complete: July 2019
  • End date: 7/19/19
​
The design phase grant application can be viewed on RCO’s Project Information System (PRISM) website at the following link https://secure.rco.wa.gov/prism/search/ProjectSnapshot.aspx?ProjectNumber=17-1140.
