Earthwork associated with the proposal will include an estimated 1,680 cubic yards (cy) of cut material and an estimated 1,250 cy of fill material. Wetlands have been identified adjacent to the softball fields. All work associated with the project will be located more than 200 feet from the closest wetland.

LOCATION: The proposal is located at 2800 Martin Road. The Skagit County Assessor describes the site as parcels: P25006, P25008, and P25012.

CITY FILE: PL19-0236, Dike District #1 Seepage Berm and SEPA Review

DATE: February 7, 2020

APPLICANT: City of Mount Vernon

SUMMARY:

Dike District No. 1 operates a flood control levee in the City of Mount Vernon and Skagit County. In 2018 the City of Mount Vernon processed the required SEPA review and Shoreline Exemption for the portion of the project within the City Limits. Since that time, it has been determined that the City would be the appropriate lead agency for the portion of the project within the County and is now processing the SEPA review for the remainder of the proposal within Skagit County. The overall purpose of the proposal is to maintain the aging sand filled levee.

This current proposal seeks to add approximately 1,500 lineal feet of 15-foot-wide rock seepage berm at the landward toe of the levee along the (north) right bank of the Skagit River. A soil cap will be added over the rock widening the top of the levee to 20 feet across. Construction activities will occur beginning at the landward side of the top of levee. The top of the levee will be expanded in a landward direction an additional 20 feet, while the toe will be expanded in a landward direction an additional 15 feet. The existing height of the levee will not be increased. The project will result in a pervious berm which allows for infiltration of surface water while providing additional ballast to prevent damaging boil ups during flood events.
