Join us for an in-depth look at two transformative habitat restoration projects in Western Washington, presented by Tyler J. Stephens, PE, and Jessica L. Randolph, PE, of Shannon & Wilson Inc. This webinar will explore the complexities and innovative solutions behind the Lower Dungeness River Floodplain Restoration and the Meadowdale Beach Park and Estuary Restoration Project.
Both projects exemplify the challenges and opportunities of working in dynamic, built environments with complex geologic and seismic conditions, as well as the logistical intricacies of multi-stakeholder coordination.
The Lower Dungeness River project reconnected over 110 acres of riverine floodplain and salmon habitat, incorporating a 6,000-foot setback levee, riprap protection, mechanically stabilized earth walls, large fish-passable culverts, and engineered floodplain channels. The Meadowdale Beach Park project replaced an undersized culvert with twin multi-span rail bridges and reestablished estuarine function by creating a pocket estuary, improving fish habitat and pedestrian access alike.
Through these two case histories, attendees will gain valuable insight into habitat restoration planning and execution, including lessons learned and applied strategies for overcoming technical and environmental hurdles.
