DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: April 7, 2015
PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: Cedar River 205 Dredge and Levees / LUA15-000185, SME
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant has requested concurrence with a previous issued NEPA and
SEPA under file number LUA97-092 and a Shoreline Exemption for the Cedar River maintenance dredging project. The
maintenance dredging is required for the existing Lower Cedar River Section 205 Flood Hazard Reduction Project as
required per the USACE Project Cooperation Agreement and project operation and maintenance manual in order to
maintain the flood protection benefits of the federally constructed flood control project. The maintenance dredge
would occur from the mouth of the Cedar River at Lake Washington upstream 1.23 miles to the Williams Ave. Bridge.
The project is located in both Reach A and B of Cedar River which is designated Shoreline High Intensity. The
maintenance dredges would remove up to four feet of sediment deposition with a 1-foot over dredge allowance at the
maximum and is estimated to remove 125,000 cubic years of sediment. An additional 10,840 cubic yards of material
would be needed for bank stabilization and 55,000 cubic yards would be needed for temporary construction berms. In
addition to the dredging the project also includes maintenance and repair of existing bank stabilization structures and
stormwater outfalls, and new stabilization as necessary, to conduct the dredge. Two wetlands would be impacted which
are proposed to be mitigated through mitigation bank credits. In addition, compensatory mitigation to offset impacts to
fisheries and associated habitat resources, are included in the proposal. Vegetation would be removed where necessary
in the river and on river banks, including 6 trees. All temporary construction impacts to riparian vegetation would be
replanted upon project completion.
PROJECT LOCATION: Cedar River from the mouth of the river to Williams Ave. Bridge.
PERMITS/REVIEW REQUESTED: Shoreline Exemption
