Document Description
This project will further preliminary designs, collect data and perform technical studies, prepare CEQA documents, and prepare
regulatory permit applications for the McInnis Marsh and Bayfront Marshes Beneficial Dredge Sediment Reuse and Tidal Wetlands Restoration Planning Project, which will improve future tidal restoration potential of the McInnis Marsh Basin in Marin County by restoring 22 to 30 acres of diked
wetlands and the reversal of subsidence across 140 acres of marsh. The project has been revised to include analysis of an innovative, nature-based alternative to traditional dredging that would not reverse subsidence on the 140 acres, but would instead result in additional sediment reaching the outer bayfront marshes of Gallinas Creek
