MOSQUITO FLEET TRAIL PROJECT • <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Orchard</strong>, Washington<br />

follows the shoreline around the Westbay Shopping Center and then spans the mouth <strong>of</strong> Blackjack<br />

Creek via a bridge approximately 125 feet in length (<strong>of</strong> which 100 feet will be over water). From<br />

Etta Turner Park on the east side <strong>of</strong> Blackjack Creek, the trail will primarily be located adjacent to<br />

the shoreline all the way to its eastern terminus at the Annapolis Ferry Dock. Exceptions will occur<br />

in some places where existing residences built on overwater structures extend waterward beyond<br />

the ordinary high water mark/mean higher high water (OHWM/MHHW). At these locations, the trail<br />

will remain adjacent to Bay Street. Due to spatial constraints between Bay Street and the<br />

shoreline, much <strong>of</strong> the eastern length <strong>of</strong> the trail will need to be cantilevered over water and<br />

support piles will be required in a few places.<br />

Property acquisition for the project consists <strong>of</strong> the following:<br />

■ ROW acquisition between Station 18+90 and 20+80.<br />

■ ROW acquisition between Station 65+50 and 69+80.<br />

A property easement will be acquired for the remainder <strong>of</strong> the trail that is not located along the<br />

existing ROW.<br />

General construction activities consist <strong>of</strong> the following:<br />

■ Surface grading and paving throughout the corridor except as noted below.<br />

■ Repair and replacement <strong>of</strong> existing deck and boardwalk surfacing near stations 9+00 and<br />

11+00.<br />

■ Fill placed beneath trail near Station 25+82.<br />

■ Bridge foundation over Blackjack Creek consisting <strong>of</strong> four 16-inch-diameter steel piles (two<br />

each side) placed in upland locations, with a concrete foundation. In addition, a utility pole and<br />

two guy anchors will be relocated and replaced in-kind.<br />

■ Pile installation and removal is necessary for renovation <strong>of</strong> an existing deck that will support<br />

the trail.<br />

• Approximately 21 existing wooden and concrete piles <strong>of</strong> varying sizes (ranging from 8<br />

inches to 15 inches in diameter) that will be removed at trail station 62+40 to 63+00.<br />

These piles will be replaced with 10-inch-diameter steel piles and a more efficient<br />

support structure resulting in fewer piles needed in the final construction (up to five<br />

replacement piles).<br />

• Approximately eight new piles will be placed below OHWM/MHHW for trail support at<br />

trail station 63+10 to 64+70.<br />

• Three additional new piles are proposed for trail support between two residential<br />

structures at trail station 54+70 to 55+10. There is also potential to relocate an<br />

existing deck (currently supported by three timber piles) that would require two<br />

additional steel piles.<br />

Subsurface Conditions<br />

The geologic information reviewed within the project vicinity includes Department <strong>of</strong> Natural<br />

Resources 100,000 scale surface geology electronic data. The <strong>Corridor</strong> is composed <strong>of</strong> artificial<br />

fill, nonglacial continental sedimentary deposits and glacial deposits (see Figure 2).<br />
