2 Outline Historical i Background Project Purpose Design Construction Monitoring Future

3 Historical Background North Head Shoreline 1913 Construction of the MCR jetties produced dramatic sand accretion along the Benson Beach shoreline Benson Beach North Head Shoreline * hea d of jett y in Now, there is no longer Benson Beach has receded 2,000 ft since 1939 enough sediment supply to overcome e natural erosion o 2002 *

4 Project Purpose Pump material directly into the intertidal zone Monitor how effectively the placed material remains within the overall littoral sediment budget Compare the effectiveness and efficiency of this method with conventional nearshore open water placement Ultimate objective: Determine the best placement method to support the littoral zone sediment budget at the Mouth of the Columbia River (MCR)

5 A decade in the making Timeline of Events Federal Regional Sediment Management (RSM) Appropriations Added Concept Initiation; Demonstration Project WRDA Jetty foredune damaged by severe storms: N Jetty Interim Berm Repair # WA State Incremental Funding Omnibus Appropriations Act 2009 Jetty foredune damaged again by winter storms 2010 N Jetty Berm Interim Berm Repair #2 SW WA Littoral Drift Restoration Project

6 Present Concept for Sediment Budget

7 Cross-Shore Profile Nearshore vs. Intertidal Placement mean sea level Intertidal Placement 30 0 Nearshore Placement n (ft, MLLW) Elevatio -90 Seabed Miles (West) Offshore from Shores Edge

8 Peacock Spit SWS N Use of the nearshore SWS has reduced the rate of recession on Peacock Spit.

9 View to the Northwest Peacock Spit Littoral Drift Project Placement Area SWS ODMDS NJ Site 2640 ft Clatsop Spit Distance from tip of south jetty to tip of north jetty is 2 miles

10 Project Design View to South Benson Beach 4,500 ft Water level at 0 ft MLLW -5 ft 0 ft 10 ft Benson Beach BUILDING View STRONG to North
