SUMMARY: The Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board grant program provides funding to local jurisdictions to protect and restore salmon habitat through projects like the Boeing Levee Setback Habitat Rehabilitation Project, identified as Project LG-10 in the 2021 Salmon Habitat Plan Update. If the City is selected, grant funds would be used to conduct a feasibility study for the construction of the Boeing Levee Setback Habitat project. The feasibility study would include preliminary environmental studies, development of preliminary alternatives which will balance uses and functions of this stretch of river. The uses include, but are not limited to, habitat, recreation, flood protection and social equity. This project will benefit salmon by improving habitat in the Lower Green River, while also balancing habitat, flood protection, and recreation on the site. The Boeing Levee is located along the right (east) bank of the Green River between S 2001h St. and S 212th St; it is approximately 0.8 miles in length and 200 feet in width. It is located immediately downstream from the Lower Russell Levee Habitat Improvements, which are already providing benefit to salmon in the Lower Green. The biggest limiting factor for salmonid productivity and population growth in the Green River is a lack of suitable habitat for fry. The lack of habitat pushes fry to migrate to the Puget Sound prior to obtaining adequate growth, dramatically reducing the chance of survival. The project will also improve floodplain storage. This grant program requires the City to pass a resolution authorizing the submission of the application for funding. Packet Pg. 139 8.1 BUDGET IMPACT: To be determined based on potential grant award. Grant matching funds would come from the Drainage Utility Fund. Any grant award would be presented to the Public Works Committee and City Council for action.
