SITE-SPECIFIC ACTIONS. This section describes restoration activities that would be applied to Xxxxxxx shorelines due to specific impairments. In some cases the restoration activities are the same or similar to programmatic actions described previously. However, because specific impairments were identified for the reaches, the restoration activities have higher potential to improve ecological functions and may therefore support a higher prioritization. The approach applied to identify restoration opportunities along marine shorelines integrated marine/nearshore site-specific data with regional restoration and conservation priorities. A comprehensive nearshore assessment has not been conducted for Shelton or Xxxxx County nearshore environment. Therefore areas with nearshore restoration potential were compiled by relying on existing data. See Xxxxx County Restoration Plan, Section 4.2 for more information. The approach applied to identify restoration opportunities along freshwater shorelines combined local site-specific data with regional restoration and conservation priorities identified in WRIA 14 salmon recovery plans, fish passage barrier inventories, riparian assessments, TMDLs, and other documents. Table 4-1 summarizes recommended restoration actions for shorelines under the City’s SMP jurisdiction and within the City’s UGA. The table also provides an assessment of the scale and potential length of time required to implement restoration opportunities. For each identified opportunity, the table identifies whether the project is of a short term or long term nature. As detailed restoration assessment and prioritization occurs consistent with this plan, the initial assessment of timelines should be re-focused to create detailed schedules and benchmarks for those actions and areas with the greatest restoration potential. Marine site-specific restoration opportunities are identified on Restoration Plan Map 1 (Appendix A). The tables below also list the recommended timing for each restoration opportunity as “short-term” or “long-term.” Short-term (approximately 1-5 years) restoration projects include those that could be implemented by local landowners and volunteers and that would benefit the areas that are most in need. Short-term restoration efforts include habitat restoration and enhancement efforts in publicly owned areas of the City’s shorelines. These projects could be implemented in the near term, depending on grant cycles and coordination with volunteer and community organiz...
