I3 <br /> Exhibit 1 <br /> J. Marshlands <br /> Summary of Restoration Opportunities <br /> 1. Public and Private Properties <br /> a. The Salmon Overlay identifies 2 potential tidal restoration sites in this area <br /> (Restoration Sites 7 and 14). Potential gain of approximately 41,600 IVA acre- <br /> points. Both sites are a mix of private and public properties. Public property owners <br /> include the City of Everett, Snohomish County, and the Marshland Diking District. <br /> Site 7 is located east of the BNSF rail line, and site 14 is located west of the rail <br /> line. The Salmon Overlay estimated that tidal restoration could result in a gain of <br /> over 20,800 IVA-acre-points on each site. <br /> The Salmon Overlay documents that there are technical difficulties on both sites. <br /> Restoration planning must address protection of power lines and other utilities, the <br /> BNSF line, the Lowell Snohomish River Road, the Marshland pump station and <br /> associated drainage. The desires of multiple private and public property owners <br /> must also be addressed. <br /> The central strategy or mechanism for accomplishing restoration is to commence a <br /> restoration planning process. When non-City funding is available, the City will <br /> conduct special area planning for the Marshlands in cooperation with property <br /> owners, Ecology, scientists, interested agencies/organizations, and members of the <br /> public. <br /> 49 <br /> Section 3 General Goals,Objectives,Policies and Regulations Page 3-79 <br />
