White Slough Wetlands Enhancement Project

The White Slough Unit (WSU) of the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) provides one of the few remaining opportunities to regain lost salt marsh around Humboldt Bay. The WSU includes approximately ten acres of un-diked wetlands, 65 acres of diked wetlands consisting primarily of brackish marsh (60 acres), as well as small areas of freshwater marsh, and riparian habitat. Diked sections are severely eroded and expected to fail. Because the area has subsided, dike failure would result in a conversion of brackish marsh to mudflat, and would expose the Tompkins Hill Road-Highway 101 Interchange, which provides access to the College of the Redwoods, to increased threat of flooding. The threat of dike failure is exacerbated by ongoing sea level rise.

WHITE SLOUGH WETLAND ENHANCEMENT PROJECT - 2018 SOIL TRANSPORT SERVICES
The work shall include furnishing a minimum of five (5) and up to six (6) 10-wheel dump trucks with drivers to support soil transport at the White Slough Wetland Enhancement Project on the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge’s White Slough Unit for 8 hours/day, Monday-Friday, from July 9, 2018 through August 17, 2018. The work generally includes transporting soil on County/State Highway routes from a designated loading site to a designated unloading site both located on the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The soil will be loaded at the designated loading site by Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge staff, hauled and dumped by the awarded contractor at the unload site where it will be spread by Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge staff. The Humboldt County Resource Conservation District intends to enter into a single contract to complete the work.
