Implementation Strategies and Mechanisms will be used to match grant funds and maximize funding opportunities throughout all phases of the project. Snohomish County's Marshland Restoration Site is shown as part of the Phase I restoration areas along the Snohomish River. This site is owned by Snohomish County Public Works and the Marshland Flood Control District, and includes the area between the existing set- back dike and the Snohomish River, from the current Everett city limits upstream approximately 2 miles to the point where the set-back dike rejoins the dike on the river bank. The 34-acre site was developed in association with the Lowell-Snohomish River Road and Marshland Dike Relocation project, and provides compensatory mitigation for that project. The County has also completed compensatory mitigation for a number of other Public Works projects at the site, and will continue to use this area for compensatory mitigation projects in the future. A portion of the Phase 3 non-tidal restoration in the center of the subarea is on property owned by PSE. PSE will give priority to its own restoration and mitigation activities on the property. Public grant funds for implementing the subarea plan can come from a variety of sources including Corps of Engineers Puget Sound Nearshore Restoration Program and Puget Sound and Adjacent Waters Program, the Salmon Recovery Funding Board, Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office programs including the Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account, Land and Water Conservation Fund, Trails and Waters Access Grants, and the Estuary and Salmon Restoration Program (ESRP) administered by WDFW. Additional grant funding may be available through implementation of the WRIA 7 Salmon Recovery program. Table 5-2 contains a more detailed list of the grant opportunities applicable to the project.
