Hello Barbara,
I just received the report from Coastal Geologic services and based on the information it looks
like you could move ahead with a shorelines permit exemption.We will need the rock wall design
and a formal application for shorelines exemption.

Re: 4409 Anaco Beach PI, Anacortes,WA, Shore Protection Assessment
Introduction and Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to provide a general level assessment of the need for shore protection at the
subject single-family residential parcel at Anaco Beach. The subject property is located in the east-
northeast shore of Burroughs Bay, approximately 0.5 miles east of the entrance channel to Skyline
Marina. The property is a small, low-elevation parcel with a no-bank shore.
Coastal Geologic Services Inc. (CGS)was requested to review ground and air photos, and complete a
site assessment focusing on the question of whether shore protection needs to be enhanced or not to in
order to protect the house and adjacent improvements. Jim Johannessen has observed this shore several
times in the last two decades while performing work throughout the shores of Skagit County. The findings
herein were based primarily on the single, recent field visit and professional judgment based on 25 years
of professional experience assessing and mapping Puget Sound coastal processes and developing
coastal protection and restoration designs.
Site Conditions
The subject property was visited by Jim Johannessen, Licensed Engineering Geologist and principal
geologist of Coastal Geologic Services on April 27, 2010. The site was viewed and measurements of the
upper beach, existing bulkhead, and waterward portion of the yard were taken. Figure 1 is a photo page
showing 4 photos taken during the site visit, along with 2 photos from late January-early February 2010
soon after storm damage occurred on January 18, 2010.
The house was reportedly constructed between 2007 and 2008. The house is a one-story structure
constructed close to surrounding grade. The house at the Northwest corner was located 24.5 feet from
the landward side of the existing rock bulkhead and 31.0 feet from the uppermost speech. The outer
Southeast portion of the house was located 20.5 feet from the landward side of the existing rock bulkhead
and 26.0 feet from the uppermost beach. Approximately half of the yard waterward of the house
contained a concrete patio, which was wider in the northwest portion of the yard. A strip of landscaped
yard was located between the patio and bulkhead that contains numerous small ornamental shrubs and

grasses. This planting area was quite damaged in the January 18, 2010 storm, as shown in the bottom
photos in Figure 1. Soil was eroded during that storm, a number of plants were lost, and the existing
bulkhead appears to have been damaged. Debris was scattered across the entire waterward yard and
across the concrete patio and up to the house during the January storm.
The beach at the site was composed of sand with abundant cobble, and pebble. The uppermost several
feet of beach was dominated by cobble and pebble while the majority of the remainder of the high tide
beach was dominated by coarse sand with lesser amounts of cobble and pebble. Drift logs appear limited
to the landward 3-6 feet of the beach at the subject property (Figure 1). The mean higher high water
(MHHW) line appeared to be located 4-7 feet waterward of the toe of the existing bulkhead. General
discussion of area beaches and bluffs is found in Johannessen and MacLennan (2007;
http://www.pugetsoundnearshore.org/technical papers/beaches bluffs.pdf).
A low rock bulkhead was present in a straight line across the uppermost beach and waterward portion of
the yard. The bulkhead was generally a hybrid between a rock revetment and a rockery(which is
generally constructed with a very steep face and tightly placed rock). The rock bulkhead was measured at
2.5 to 3.0 feet high and was 3.5 to 5.5 feet wide. The depth-of burial of the existing bulkhead was not
determined.
A similar rock bulkhead was present on the adjacent lot to the northwest. Further to the Northwest in large
concrete bulkhead extended well into the intertidal area. The adjacent small parcel on the southeast side
contained a very low elevation rock bulkhead, which projected slightly further waterward than the Cox
bulkhead. The next lot further south east also contained a large concrete bulkhead that extended further
waterward than the nearby rock structures.
The site is within a net shore-drift cell (long term littoral sediment transport cell) that originates on the east
side of Biz Point and continues north eastward and northward all the way to Skyline Marina (Keuler 1988,
Schwartz et al. 1991). Therefore the long-term sediment transport at the site is generally from the south
continuing past the site to the north and northwest. The site is a high wave energy site with a wave
exposure or fetch that extends for approximately 30 miles to the southwest all the way to the north shore
of the Olympic Peninsula west of Discovery Bay. Very large waves can be generated over this fetch that
have the potential to cause serious coastal erosion and storm damage.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Need for Shore Protection
The site has a very low elevation yard and house, and sits only 25 ft landward of the beach. The site is
characterized as a high energy location, as it has a fetch of 30 miles that roughly corresponds to the
predominant and prevailing winds. The property experienced some damage in the January 2010 storm,
which could have been much more extensive if the winds had been higher. It certainly would have been
prudent to build the house both farther away from the beach and at a higher elevation. However, the lot is
quite small and fully developed, and the lot already has a shoreline bulkhead, it is just not high or robust
enough to protect the house.

It is recommended to construct a new rockery wall type of shore protection or bulkhead in the same
footprint as the existing low rock bulkhead. The new wall would need to designed and built to withstand
the large waves that can occur at high water at the site, however the new wall does not need to and
should not cover any additional beach area. This would mean that the new wall needs to be constructed
higher and designed to withstand greater wave energy relative to the existing wall. The new wall will need
to be founded with base rocks on the order of 2.5 ft below the existing upper beach grade to prevent
undercutting during storms. Suitable material, such as angular quarry spell (some of which is likely on site
already), would first need to be placed in the excavated area. It appears that the existing rock could be
used in the new well, but that additional, larger angular rock would need to be imported. Bringing rock and
equipment in by barge may be the only practical way of constructing the new wall.
An experienced professional engineer that completes shore protection designs should be hired to
produce drawings appropriate for a new wall at your site. This is beyond the capabilities of a Licensed
Engineering Geologist. Ted Hammer, PE of Western Geotechnical Consultants Inc., is recommended for
this task (360 380-2507).
Shoreline Management
The Shoreline Master Program (SMP) for the City of Anacortes currently under use includes policies and
regulation for"Shoreline Stabilization" (Section 23). Relevant policies that apply include:
a. Construction of shore defense works shall not be allowed until effects on adjacent shores have
been evaluated by the Shoreline Administrator against Shoreline Goals, Policies, and Regulations.
A geotechnical report that considers alternative protection measures shall be required for all
proposals for new shoreline stabilization structures.
b. Floating or open breakwaters which do not impede flow of marine life are preferred over solid
breakwaters.
c. Shore defense works should be designed to have minimal degradation water views, and avoid
adverse effects on fisheries resources.
d. Shore defense works which would decrease publicly owned lands should not be allowed.
e. Shoreline stabilization structures should be allowed only where demonstrated to be necessary to
support or protect permitted shoreline uses or where an existing structure is in imminent danger
from shoreline erosion.
Regarding (a) from the SMP above, the proposed new rockery wall would be in the exact same footprint
as the existing rock bulkhead at the Cox site and have a similar front slope. Therefore it is concluded that
the new wall will not affect adjacent(armored) properties any differently than the current wall does.
However short-term impacts would occur during construction and the relatively straightforward litigation
proposal below is intended to address these impacts. The use of a soft shore protection approach is not
suitable at this site as the wave energy is too high and the house, as described above, sits too close to
the beach. Specifically a beach nourishment and/or anchored log approach would not be sufficiently
robust to withstand wave energy at this site without extensive maintenance.
The proposed rockery is not for a breakwater and so item (b) in the SMP does not apply. The proposed
rockery would slightly hinder the low elevation view(c) from the Cox property however conditions would

not be substantially different than they are today. Fisheries and other marine and nearshore species, as
well as publicly owned lands (d) should not be affected at all as the proposed bulkhead would be
constructed in the same footprint as the existing bulkhead and made of similar material. The proposed
rockery is necessary(e) to protect the permitted single-family residence as described in the report text
above.
The proposed rockery wall should not require a shoreline substantial development(SSD) permit as shore
protection here is simply a replacement structure, and should not cause ongoing negative impacts to the
nearshore system (as discussed above), and for this site is required to protect the house, which is within
the range of"normal" uses of a single family residential property. The proposal would therefore appear to
be eligible for an exemption from the SSD process.
Recommended Mitigation
Mitigation for construction of the new wall should be accomplished in the following ways:
1. Ensure that the wall in no way extends further waterward than the existing wall at beach grade.
2. Plant native backshore vegetation in the waterward portion of the yard adjacent to the wall
(described below).
3. Do not remove any large or small woody debris, or beach sediment from the site—place these
materials back on the beach after work is finished.
Planting native plants along the waterward portion of the yard is intended to provide some of the many
functions and values of native riparian vegetation for the nearshore/beach system. Thi§ includes providing
input of organics and insects, partial shade to the upper beach, reducing soil input, and providing a small
amount of diversity of habitats for birds.Additional benefits include binding soil and thereby reducing
erosion due to waves overtopping the bulkhead and minimizing damage of more landward plants. More
detail on habitat issues associated with vegetation in the nearshore is available in Brennan (2007;
http://www.pugetsoundnearshore.org/technical papers/riparian.pdf, and in Menashe (1993)
http://www.ecv.wa.qov/programs/sea/pubs/93-31/intro,html).
Plantings should consist of installation of native backshore vegetation and similar salt-tolerant native
vegetation typical of Puget Sound shores. The planting area should be viewed as augmenting the existing
immature plants that have survived the winter. This planting area extends all the way landward to the
concrete patio, with the exception of the southeast third of the yard where the patio is not as close to the
bulkhead. The planting area should extend to within 5 ft of the patio in the southeast area. Recommended
species for the most waterward portion of the planting area include: dunegrass (dune wildrye; Ellymus
mollis), Pacific silverweed (Argentina egedii), and beach pea (Laythrus japonicas). Species for the more
landward area should include shore pine (Pinus contorta var. contorta), oceanspray (Holodiscus discolor),
Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii;although madrone will likely be much more difficult to establish),
along with silverweed and other appropriate native plants as ground covers.
