The purpose of this manual is to present information on project operation and maintenance (O & M) for compliance with Federal regulations. Shoreline erosion control features at Lincoln Park, Seattle, Washington, were constructed in 1988 under the River and Harbor Act of 1962. Lincoln Park is a heavily wooded park consisting of flat uplands, steep bluffs, and gently sloping beaches. Park facilities include a 1-mile-long saltwater beach. A concrete and cobblestone seawall extends the entire length of the shoreline. The project is designed to provide long-term shoreline-erosion protection at Lincoln Park in order to prevent damage to publicly owned property. Major O & M components for the revetment, periodic beach nourishment, and project monitoring are discussed. The primary objective of the revetment is to absorb wave energy and reduce wave overtopping and wave erosion. The primary objective of nourishment is to maintain the nearshore beach profile seaward to the limits of active wave influence on the bottom materials. An annual field inspection will be made to ascertain armor and toe rock displacement, overtopping problems, and damaged or vulnerable portions of the revetment and to observe and note the degree of erosion/accretion of the beach nourishment.

In 1988, the US Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Seattle placed material on the upper beach at Lincoln Park, in West Seattle, Washington. The fill served to mitigate shoreline erosion that had caused undercutting and collapse of the seawall in several places. A series of pre- and post-construction studies have been conducted to assess the impacts to marine biota of fill placement and movement of surface substrate. This study was designed to monitor infaunal bivalves and eelgrass from intertidal areas in and adjacent to the area of original fill placement. Findings from this survey were compared to previous survey results to determine (1) if recruitment of infaunal bivalves to the fill area has occurred, (2) if infaunal bivalve densities outside the fill area are stable, and (3) if eelgrass distribution and abundance have remained stable along the adjacent shoreline. To maximize comparability of findings from this survey with previous studies, sampling techniques, transects, and tidal elevations were consistent with previous studies at this site.
