Des Moines Shoreline Inventory and Characterization placement of soft shore protection in place of the riprap will likely not produce accretional deposits at current rates associated with the riprap, but the soft-shore armoring would help to maintain the existing beach. Prior to implementing changes to the nearshore area, upstream CIP’s related to stormwater detention and treatment need to be completed. The lower portions of McSorley Creek may experience flooding during major storm events, and construction of restoration projects prior to completion of flood control projects could prove costly to repair.

Des Moines Shoreline Inventory and Characterization Segment E - Woodmont / Redondo North Table 13 below summarizes the shoreline characterization for Segment E. Table 13. Shoreline Segment “E” Summary Land Use / Transportation Stream Discharges Stream: Woodmont Creek Public Shoreline Access Hazard Areas Habitat / Habitat Potential Single-Family Res.: 87%, Multi-Family: 6%; Local streets None Landslide, Erosion Wetlands, Streams, Banks/Bluffs, Fish & Wildlife Areas (Forage Fish, Salmonids, seabird nesting, shorebirds and piscivorous birds, shellfish, eelgrass) Segment E provides few opportunities for restoration/enhancement of shoreline functions. Much of the shoreline in Segment E is privately owned with a majority being developed single-family residential areas and local streets. However, public education to promote the installation of native vegetation plantings versus manicured lawns along the shoreline portion of the private properties would be of value in restoring some shoreline function. Similarly, education or incentive for shoreline bulkhead removal in Segment E would help restore natural shoreline processes for significant lengths of the City shore in this formerly important reach of feeder bluff (CGS, in prep.) Several failed bulkheads are present approximately 2,000 feet south of the southern boundary of Saltwater Stare Park. These include a cluster of three wooden soldier pile walls in the intertidal beach (CGS, in prep.) that are no longer protecting the bluff from erosion. Simple pile removal would help restore natural beach conditions and bluff processes. Some of these may be creosoted piles, so additional water quality benefits could be reaped. The Woodmont Creek subestuary and delta have been severely impaired by shoreline armoring and shoreline development. Woodmont Creek is culverted beneath residential areas and roadways for a distance of approximately 500 feet from the mouth. This is likely a fish passage barrier to anadromous salmonids. Removal of the culverts and other barriers could be a good longer-term goal for restoration of the creek, but access to houses is a significant problem to overcome for this type of project.
