Des Moines Shoreline Master Program percent), stormwater (29 percent)) and state agency (e.g., Ecology, WDFW, WSU Extension, etc.). The habitat restoration funds would be the best fit for opportunities in Des Moines. 4.6.2 Puget Sound Nearshore Project/Partnership The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife entered into a 50/50 cost share agreement in 2002 to initiate a general investigation study. In coordination with several other agencies and organizations, the project has allowed engineers and scientists to begin to assess and identify restoration goals, work towards protection actions, and develop criteria to set priorities and develop projects in the Puget Sound nearshore environment (PSNP, 2002). To date, these efforts have resulted in technical studies and technical reports providing guidance for development of restoration projects (PSNP, 2004a, 2004b), but not on-the-ground projects. 4.6.3 Salmon Recovery Funding Board With the listing of salmonid species under the Endangered Species Act in 1999, the Legislature created the Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB). Composed of citizens appointed by the Governor and five state agency directors, the Board provides grant funds to protect or restore salmon habitat and assist related activities. It works closely with local watershed groups and has helped finance over 500 projects. The Salmon Recovery Funding Board awarded $7.1 million during the first five funding cycles for salmon habitat protection, restoration, and assessment projects in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed (WRIA 9). These grants build on other funding sources such as the King County Conservation District and Waterways 2000. The two site-specific opportunities in Des Moines (pocket estuary restoration at the mouths of Massey and McSorely Creeks; described above) that have been identified in the WRIA 9 Salmon Habitat Plan are good candidates and have the greatest likelihood of receiving SRFB funding. 4.6.4 King County Conservation District The King Conservation District (KCD) is a non-regulatory natural resources assistance agency founded in 1949. The Conservation District is authorized by the State of Washington and guided by the Washington State Conservation Commission. The District promotes conservation through demonstration projects, educational events, technical assistance, and, in some cases, providing or pointing the way to funds that may be available for projects. The WRIA 9 Forum allocates approximately $634,000 in King Conservation District funds annually to support habitat protection and restoration projects, stewardship projects and programs, and essential technical assessments. The money comes from a county-wide $5 per parcel assessment that funds the activities of the King Conservation District as well as projects through other watershed forums in King County. Beginning in 2005, the highest priority for WRIA 9 KCD funding includes projects and programs that are informed by the watershed Habitat Plan and the Strategic Assessment, such as the pocket estuary restoration projects at the mouths of Massey and McSorely Creeks in Des Moines.

Des Moines Shoreline Master Program 4.6.5 NOAA Community-Based Restoration Program The NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service manages the Community-Based Restoration Program (CRP), begun in 1996. The Program promotes local efforts to conduct meaningful, onthe-ground restoration of marine, estuarine and riparian habitat. The Program provides seed money and technical expertise to address important fishery habitat concerns. Projects are developed by individual and civic organizations. NOAA solicits proposals for locally-driven habitat restoration projects and works closely with communities to aid their development and implementation. Successful projects result from significant local support, including citizens' hands-on involvement to implement the restoration projects. Following development of a restoration project, the “host” community subsequently monitors and maintains the site. This model promotes stewardship and a heightened appreciation for the environment. The small scale of the some of the stream mouths in Des Moines makes this a good potential source of funding for restoration projects outlined in this document. 4.6.6 Des Moines Surface Water Management CIP The Des Moines Surface Water Management Capital Improvement Program funds projects through a combination of CIP funds and grants and/or funding partners for multi-jurisdiction projects such as development of comprehensive basin plans. While the Surface Water Management Program is focused on freshwater resources, the City could consider adding a Puget Sound nearshore restoration component to its capital program, focused on opportunities at stream mouths. Funding sources would include grants and partnership opportunities. 4.6.7 Other Possible Funding Sources • Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account – Washington Department of Natural Resources • City Fish Passage Barrier, Stormwater and Habitat Restoration Grant Program - Washington Department of Transportation • Five-Star Restoration Program - Environmental Protection Agency • FMC Corporation Bird and Habitat Conservation Fund - FMC Corporation and The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation • Habitat Conservation - U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Coastal Program • Matching Aid to Restore States Habitat (MARSH) - Ducks Unlimited • Non-point Source Implementation Grant (319) Program - Environmental Protection Agency, Washington State Department of Ecology • Pacific Grassroots Salmon Initiative - National Fish and Wildlife Foundation • Puget Sound Program - U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service • Puget Sound Wetland Restoration Program - Washington State Department of Ecology • Regional Fisheries Enhancement Groups - Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife Department of Ecology approval effective November 1, 2010 Adopted by City of Des Moines Ordinance No. 1502 45
