    Project Description    
This site, in the form of an old barge, is located at the toe of a feeder bluff at the Seahorse Siesta Community Beach in Langley, WA. The barge encompasses 136 linear feet of armor that extends 98 feet out onto the beach and encumbers 0.25 acres of intertidal habitat from the toe of the feeder bluff. Removal will also include approximately 70 to 100 cubic yards of vertical concrete wall and fill from within the barge area. The drift cell originates 1.4 miles to the northwest of site and ends approximately 2.4 miles from the site at Sandy Pt east of Langley. 61.8% of drift cell is downdrift from site. The structure is located on a community-owned parcel as well as State-owned aquatic lands waterward of MHHW. The project will complete final designs, develop bid documents, implement and complete construction, and support pre- and post construction monitoring conducted by professionals as well as citizen scientists. The community association is supportive of this project. The main elements of the designs for coastal habitat enhancement and feeder bluff restoration are full armor removal which includes bulkhead, barge, and fill removal and lower bluff grading as well as installation of a small rockery above MHHW to maintain the existing beach access for the community.
