Implementation Strategies and Mechanisms <br /> 5 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES AND MECHANISMS <br /> 5.1 Strategies, Timeframes and Benchmarks <br /> 5.1.1 Phasing Strategies <br /> The scope of the habitat restoration proposed in the subarea plan is sufficiently large to <br /> necessitate phasing due to costs, funding, and the need to evaluate the feasibility of different <br /> aspects of the project incrementally. The advantage of phasing is that the lowest cost, and <br /> least complex aspects of the project could be implemented sooner, providing incremental <br /> ecological benefits. More complex aspects of the project could be brought on-line over time <br /> as funding and technical issues are resolved. Prior to moving ahead with design and <br /> implementation of each phase, extensive hydraulic and hydrologic analysis and geotechnical <br /> investigations would be required as well as other studies including wetlands and cultural <br /> resources. The sequence of phasing could be based on a number of factors including, but not <br /> limited to: property ownership, degree/complexity of infrastructure change, ecological <br /> benefit, proximity to the river edge, the results of technical studies, design and <br /> implementation costs, and grant funding sources. This section includes a description of one <br /> potential approach to phasing. Note that this is only an example of how phasing of the <br /> project could occur and phasing may occur differently than detailed herein. Figure 5-1 <br /> shows how the project could be phased over time. Table 5-1 details the acreages of habitat <br /> associated with each phase and the cumulative acreages achieved over the phasing process. <br /> Draft Subarea Plan June 2009 <br /> Everett Marshland 56 070346-01 <br />
