Des Moines Shoreline Master Program Every two years the PSAT partnership develops a plan to guide their work. The 2005-2007 plan provides a total of $182 million dollars funded through state agency budgets to address eight priority areas: • Clean up contaminated sites and sediments; • Reduce continuing toxic contamination and prevent future contamination; • Reduce the harm from stormwater runoff; • Prevent nutrient and pathogen pollution caused by human and animal wastes; • Hood Canal: a geographic priority for 2005-2007; • Protect shorelines and other critical areas that provide important ecological functions; • Restore degraded nearshore and freshwater habitats; and • Conserve and recover orca, salmon, forage fish, and groundfish (PSAT, 2005). 4.4.2 Puget Sound Nearshore Project (PSNP) The Puget Sound Nearshore Project (PNSP) (also referred to as the Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project (PSNERP)) is a large-scale, multi-agency initiative to address habitat restoration needs in the Puget Sound basin. Nearshore Project goals are to identify significant ecosystem problems, evaluate potential solutions, and restore and preserve critical nearshore habitat. The PSRP represents a partnership between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), state and federal government organizations, Indian tribes, industries and environmental organizations. A General Investigation Reconnaissance Study conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 2000 (USACOE, 2000) identified a direct link between healthy nearshore habitat and the physical condition of the shoreline. The study identified several actions that would be central in restoring nearshore processes to a more natural state: • Providing marshes, mudflats, and beaches with essential sand and gravel materials; • Removing, moving and modifying artificial structures (bulkheads, riprap, dikes, tide gates, etc.); • Using alternative measures to protect shorelines from erosion and flooding; and • Restoring estuaries and nearshore habitat such as eelgrass beds and kelp beds (USACOE, 2000; PSNP, 2002). The PSNERP also provides outreach and guidance materials related to nearshore ecosystem restoration principals, concepts, and methods of implementation.

Des Moines Shoreline Master Program 4.4.3 Shared Strategy for Puget Sound: Draft Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Plan Shared Strategy for Puget Sound (Shared Strategy) is a collaborative effort to protect and restore salmon runs across Puget Sound that was initiated as a result of Endangered Species Act (ESA) listings of salmonid species in the Puget Sound region. Shared Strategy engages local citizens, tribes, technical experts and policy makers to build a practical, cost-effective recovery plan endorsed by the people living and working in the watersheds of Puget Sound. Shared Strategy has developed a draft salmon recovery plan (Shared Strategy, 2005) that provides a blueprint for salmon recovery strategies throughout Puget Sound and incorporates by reference local watershed plans for salmon recovery. 4.4.4 Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 9 Forum: Salmon Habitat Plan Des Moines is located in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed (WRIA 9) and is a participating local agency in WRIA 9 watershed planning. After several years of planning and scientific study, WRIA 9 recently completed the Salmon Habitat Plan (WRIA 9, 2005). The Plan is both broad in scope and specific in recommendations for protection, enhancement, and restoration of habitat in the marine nearshore subwatershed, including Puget Sound in the City of Des Moines. The Plan includes recommended policies, programs, and projects. Key nearshore policies most directly relevant to the City of Des Moines include: • Encourage nearshore property owners to continue the replacement of creosote pilings and structures with non-creosote alternatives as well as the removal of obsolete / abandoned facilities that contain significant amounts of creosoted wood; and • Actively feed beaches, where appropriate, with sediment where there is a lack of sediment due to interrupted supply from bulkheads or other forms of shoreline armoring (WRIA 9, 2005). 4.4.5 City of Des Moines Surface Water Management Program The City’s Surface Water Management Program is guided by the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (adopted in 1991), a draft updated Comprehensive Plan (1998), and regional multi-jurisdiction basin plans such as the Des Moines Creek Basin Plan (1997). The City’s Surface Water Capital Improvement Program identifies, funds, and implements site-specific projects intended to provide flood control or alleviation, improve and enhance riparian habitat, replace culverts to improve fish passage, and improve water quality from stormwater runoff. While the City’s Surface Water Management Program is focused on freshwater resources in the City (none of which are regulated under the City’s SMP), capital projects to improve habitat and stream flow will affect downstream resources that are in the City’s shoreline jurisdiction (i.e., stream mouths discharging to Puget Sound).
