Almost two years after the dike was breached, a 12.5 acre site wetland mitigation site between I-5 and SR 529 in Marysville, WA is flourishing. Breaching the dike between the Snohomish River and an old landlocked estuary habitat allowed saltwater and freshwater to mix. Restoring this marine habitat provides much needed habitat for juvenile fish. The project restoring this area is part of the mitigation needed for the interchange improvements planned for I-5/SR 529.

Concluding Remarks

Speaker: Thomas Maier, Managing Director, Infrastructure, EBRD

CNT led the mitigation research team for the Chicago Climate Change Task Force that developed the Chicago Climate Action Plan, released in September.

 

CNT developed a greenhouse gas inventory for Chicago in 2000 and 2005, which allowed us to understand better where Chicago’s emissions come from. We also worked with the City to solicit emissions reduction strategies from residents, business, institutions, and government. We received hundreds of suggestions and boiled them down into a portfolio of feasible, effective, and sustainable strategies for Chicago.

 

The emissions reduction strategies we have helped develop are truly sustainable solutions that can lower the cost of living and doing business in Chicago while making this a better city in which to live and work.

 

The Entiat National Fish Hatchery is located on the Entiat River, which is a tributary of the Columbia River in Washington State. Fish released from this facility must migrate through eight dams in order to reach the Pacific Ocean. The objective of this project is to mitigate for the loss of returning adult salmon due to the construction of Grand Coulee Dam by creating a summer Chinook program that could annually provide some 1,600 returning adults to commercial, sport, and tribal harvest groups. At full production, this facility spawns, rears, and releases between 350,000 and 400,000 summer Chinook salmon smolts annually. USFWS photo. Verified RHP 2015.

U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich tours flood mitigation efforts at Santa Clara Pueblo.

 

In June 2015, Senator Heinrich welcomed news that Santa Clara Pueblo will receive funding under a new national program aimed at restoring the health and fire resilience of iconic landscapes. Santa Clara Pueblo is receiving $400,000 to complete restoration of the natural fire regime — the natural frequency, intensity, size, pattern, season and severity of fire — on the mesa top lands, protecting ancient cliff dwellings, cultural sites, traditional food sources and watershed health. The Pueblo suffered significant damages from the catastrophic Las Conchas fire in 2011, which burned more than 150,000 acres in northern New Mexico. Two years later, heavy summer rainstorms caused severe flooding and erosion where the fire had burned protective ground cover.

 

The funding comes from the Wildland Fire Resilient Landscapes Program, which Senator Heinrich helped create as part of a bill to fund the government.

 

Santa Clara Pueblo has experienced severe wildfire in recent years, burning the Pueblo's commercial timberland and threatening the Santa Clara watershed and the Rio Grande River. Protecting the area will help ensure the watershed remains stable long-term, and restore the Pueblo's timber harvest which is crucial to the local economy. The funding will help reduce an additional 2,000 acres of hazardous vegetation through thinning, and improve the health of 7,000 more acres through planned burns of the mesa landscape.

Once the western breach in the dike between northbound and southbound SR 529 was opened, the rising tide brought water from Steamboat Slough onto the site. The 12.5-acre estuary will provide a "nursery" for young salmon to grow stronger before heading out into the Salish Sea and Pacific Ocean. The area was restored as part of a mitigation project for future WSDOT work to add on- and off-ramps between SR 529 and I-5 just south of Marysville.

The northern portion of Dike Road sits atop the Dugualla Bay dike, before turning south and dipping into the flatlands between the dike and State Route 20. As mitigation for the SR 532 Davis Slough Bridge project, in summer 2015 WSDOT will build a new dike where the southern part of Dike Road currently runs, then rebuild the road atop the dike. With that done, crews then will breach to old dike, which was built in 1918 to create farmland. This will allow water from Dugualla Bay to flow into the area and restore the saltwater marsh on Whidbey Island, which will serve as a habitat for juvenile salmon.

Wildlife enjoy the newly restored South Lake Washington site. Mitigation at this site included restoring shoreline vegetation, enhancing shoreline and removing structures, which will improve conditions for salmon migrating from the Cedar River (located adjacent to the site) to Lake Washington and Puget Sound. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is leading construction of the project.

Ambassador Shapiro demonstrated that our English language programs open doors to wider U.S. Israel cooperation when he visited Beit Shean December 20. The Ambassador visited an ORT school, spoke at a town hall, and toured Beit Shean National Park. ORT Israel gave an overview of the “Jordan Valley Robotics Education Center, their vision of a regional center to teach Israeli and Jordanian youth about robotics and environmental issues while promoting peace and understanding. Ambassador Shapiro also visited sites associated with efforts to rehabilitate the Jordan River and a peace park promoting Israeli-Jordanian cooperation The visits were hosted by Friends of the Earth Middle East and regional Mayor Jossi Vardi. With support from USAID, community leaders such as Mayor Jossi Vardi as well as Jordanian leaders have been working together in the “Good Water Neighbors project” to help clean up this important joint resource. Their hard work and advocacy has paid off with construction of a waste water treatment plant that will soon remove the sewage. USAID has been partnering with FoEME since 2001, first as part of the Wye River Agreement, and more recently through USAID’s Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM) grant.

State, county and local officials ceremoniously plant seeds to mark the start of the $1.2 million Grass Creek Mitigation Project. Reconnecting tidal channels, removing earthen dikes, and re-establishing vegetation on the 68-acre property helps mitigate work WSDOT is doing for the SR 520 Pontoon Construction Project.

Cornish, Maine.

 

The view from Hessian Hill in Cornish this afternoon.

 

The jets where very busy making man made clouds all day, to many to count criss- crossing the sky leaving the all to familiar signature Persistent Spreading Contrails, some of the jets would make a long pass through an area and then make an abrupt "U" turn and make another pass through the same area doubling the contrail it was leaving behind.

 

Something is going on, Global Warming mitigation, Weather Modification, I don't know, no one is talking about it seriously and those that are saying that this is just normal air traffic are full of you know what !

The mitigation project at Grass Greek removed portions of an earthen dike on the 68-acre Grass Creek site. Work started in summer 2011, reconnecting tidal channels and restoring the natural tidal influence to the site. The work at Grass Creek restores and protects a variety of wetlands and shoreline habitats.

A dirt footpath runs across the top of the southern portion of the original Dugualla Bay dike, which was built in 1918 to create farmland on Whidbey Island. In summer 2015 WSDOT will build a new dike where the current Dike Road is located, then rebuild the road on top of the dike. When that is complete, the old dike will be breached in two places, allowing water from Dugualla Bay into the area to restore a saltwater marsh. The marsh will provide natural habitat for salmon and other species. The work is mitigation for WSDOT’s SR 532 Davis Slough bridge project.

After the original dike was built in 1918 by the Dugualla Bay beach on Whidbey Island, the area that had been a saltwater marsh dried and was farmed for many years. Dike Road now runs across the low land. To restore the saltwater marsh, WSDOT will build a new dike where the existing southern end of Dike Road is, then rebuild the road on top of the dike. The old dike will be breached in two places, allowing water from Dugualla Bay to flow into the area during the highest tides and restoring the saltwater marsh as mitigation for the SR 532 Davis Slough Bridge project. It will be a habitat for young salmon.
