Hartwood Park Trail and Pedestrian Bridge

ELS was contracted by Shell Engineering to complete an OHWM delineation, critical areas report, and restoration plan for the purpose of replacing a dilapidated pedestrian bridge adjacent to a Type-F stream located within a City park in Washougal, WA. The project also included improvements to the existing trail that leads to and from the pedestrian bridge. This project required a Hydraulic Project Approval permit and critical areas permit which included preparation of the SEPA checklist. ELS completed OHWM delineation and met with City employees, WDFW, and the project engineer to determine the best bridge design and construction methods to avoid impacts to the stream buffer.
