Project Goals Protect park from shoreline erosion  Enhance water quality of the Chesapeake Bay  Address County MS4/TMDL permit requirements  Improve public access to the waterway  Support recreational boating dredging program  3

Project Overview Shoreline Protection  • Living shoreline Waterway Access  • Soft (natural) canoe/kayak launch Dredged Material Placement  • Place dry material from Idlewilde DMP Site 4

Shoreline Protection 2014 Aerial Photo  7

Shoreline Protection 2014 VS 1994 Aerial Photo  • 6 acres lost due to erosion 8

Shoreline Protection Existing shoreline conditions  Bay Front Jack Creek 9 Along the Point

Shoreline Protection Living Shorelines  • Controls shoreline erosion • Provides a productive, natural shoreline • Strategic placement of plants, stone, sand fill and other structural and organic materials • Implemented through a variety of shoreline protection methods 10

Shoreline Protection Stone structures provide erosion protection  Sand fill provides planting terrace  Marsh plantings provide flood protection and habitat  enhancement 11

Shoreline Protection Protects 1,488 LF of  shoreline Restores 58,811 SF of  tidal marsh Preliminary Concept Plan 12

Waterway Access Parking Launch Area Access Road    Preliminary Concept Plan 13

Waterway Access Launch Area  • Soft (natural) canoe/kayak launch • Natural shoreline 14

Waterway Access Access shoreline through existing trail  Provide ADA compliant surface  Incorporate launch area into living shoreline design  15

Waterway Access Parking  • 20 car parking spots (no trailers) • Permeable grass paving 16

Waterway Access Access Road  • Follow existing gravel road • Gravel surface to the parking area • Trail to water will be permeable gravel (ADA compliant) • Controlled access (gate) will remain 17

Dredged Material Placement Place dry material from Idlewilde DMP Site  18

Dredged Material Placement Idlewilde DMP Site primarily used for South County  recreational dredging projects such as: • Parish Creek (Federal and County channels) • Rockhold Creek Jetty • Broadwater Creek • Church Creek • West River, etc… All materials are tested before dredging  • Metals • Pesticides & PCBs • Priority pollutants volatiles & semi-volatiles • Total of 149 parameters 19

Dredged Material Placement Jack Creek Park placement area  20

Dredged Material Placement Place dry material from Idlewilde DMP Site  • 14,000 cubic yards • 3-acre area • Amend soil with lime and fertilizer • Cover with 6 inches of topsoil • Shape to form natural land features • Re-seed with meadow mix Create small wetlands (rain garden)  Restore to existing use and vegetative cover  21

Dredged Material Placement Truck Route  • Idlewilde Road to Snug Harbor Road – ½ mile 22

Dredged Material Placement Example  During Placement After 23

Schedule Project has been split into two phases  Phase 1: Dredged Material Placement  • Under construction – to be completed in 2 months Phase 2: Living Shoreline & Waterway Access  • Design completed • Federal, State and County permitting underway • To be constructed in 12 to 18 months 24
