Local company awarded waterline relocation contract

Excavators broke ground at Discovery Bay this week, in the first segment of a multi-year, multi-million dollar restoration project. NOSC has awarded Seton Construction a $785,000 contract to relocate a waterline out of critical nearshore habitat and onto an upland location along Highway 101. "Once [the waterline is] completed, restoration work will begin to improve habitat conditions along the shoreline northeast of the railroad cars," said Kevin Long, NOSC's Discovery Bay Project manager.

The Port Hadlock Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) crew has been involved with the project, as well. The crew spent a couple days at the site last month salvaging sheet metal roofing from an old mill building and pulling invasive Scotch broom and ivy.

This project would not have been possible without the support of many funders (a complete list of project partners is listed to the left). Stay tuned to the blog for updates on the progress of the project!
