BACKGROUND:

In 2023, USACE Seattle District performed repairs to the east McGlinn Island Jetty in La Conner, WA. Approximately 1200 tons of cobble, quarry spalls, and crushed rock was placed on the Skagit River side of the east McGlinn Island Jetty to reduce the porosity of the structure.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIRED:

USACE Seattle District requires placement of up to 3,000 tons of fill material on the Skagit River side of the east McGlinn Island Jetty near McGlinn Island in La Conner, WA to reinforce and extend the 2023 jetty repair action. Fill material would consist of 12” minus rounded cobbles. Smaller quantities of 4”-8” quarry spalls and 2” minus crushed rock may be used to build a work pad atop the jetty. Material placement would occur within the in-water construction work window of 16 Jul 2025 through 15 Feb 2026. The construction will be accomplished using a marine vessel(s) and equipment designed to minimize the potential for impacts to the surrounding environment. A material staging area with road access will be provided just south of La Conner along the eastern shore of the Swinomish channel.  Access to the jetty is via an approximately 800 ft long shallow and unmaintained natural waterway that connects the Swinomish federal channel to the east McGlinn Island Jetty.  At low tide, a natural channel bisects the exposed tideflats to a width of 50 ft or less and water depths are a few feet at most. Due to tidal variations, the jetty is only accessible by marine vessel(s) from the Swinomish channel side during high tide due to risk of grounding. Shoals and submerged obstacles (root wads) are present and shift depending on environmental conditions including tides and storms.

MAGNITUDE OF CONSTRUCATION:

In accordance with DFARS 236.204(ii) “Disclosure of the Magnitude of Construction Projects,”

Magnitude of Construction is estimated to be between $250,000 and $500,000.
