Background Information <br /> recreation could occur and additionally a trail system through portions of the subarea. <br /> Alternative 2 includes substantially more tidal restoration and Wood Creek is connected to a <br /> restored tidal area through a flume over the Marshland Canal. Preserved forested wetland <br /> habitat is included on the west side of the railroad tracks. Large areas of restored non-tidal <br /> freshwater wetlands are also proposed. <br /> The specific Land Uses within the Alternative 2 include: <br /> • Agriculture—applies to smaller pockets of land <br /> • Recreation— Rotary Park and proposed recreation strip bordering Lowell-Larimer <br /> Road <br /> • Trails—looping around restoration and running adjacent to some utility corridors and <br /> roads <br /> • Wildlife Preservation/Enhancement—areas identified for habitat retention <br /> • Fish Preservation/ Enhancement—areas identified for habitat retention <br /> • Wildlife Preservation—Spane Wetland mitigation site <br /> • Fish and Wildlife Restoration—tidally restored public and willing private lands <br /> 2.3.4 Alternative 3: Maximum Habitat Restoration <br /> Alternative 3 provides the largest amount of habitat restoration within the subarea. <br /> Recreation opportunities in this alterative include a trail system and an associated parking <br /> area. The flood control pump station is moved to the southern boundary of the study area <br /> and the downstream outlet of the Marshland Canal is relocated so that it connects to the <br /> river in the same location as the restored channel of Wood Creek. Fish passage would be <br /> provided around or through the relocated pump station. A large area is proposed for tidal <br /> restoration on both public and private properties. This alternative also includes a large area <br /> of freshwater, non-tidal wetland restoration. <br /> The specific Land Uses within the Alternative 3 include: <br /> • Agriculture—applies to smaller pockets of land <br /> • Recreation—Rotary Park and a small area near the northwest portion of the site <br /> • Trails—looping around restoration and running adjacent to some utility corridors and <br /> roads <br /> • Wildlife Preservation/Enhancement— areas identified for habitat retention <br /> • Fish Preservation/ Enhancement—areas identified for habitat retention <br /> Draft Subarea Plan June 2009 <br /> Everett Marshland 26 070346-01 <br />
