Ediz Hook Erosion Control Project.
Vernon Cook, Project Engineer, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers appeared
before the Council at this meeting to brief the Council on recent develop-
ments which may have an effect on the City of Port Angeles as local sponsor
of the Ediz Hook Beach Erosion Control Project.
It is noted that the Ediz Hook Beach Erosion Control Project extends from
the base of Ediz Hook to the west boundary of the U. S. Coast Guard Air
Station, and the City has agreed to pay a local share of $424,000 as 6.9%
of the total estimated cost of the project.
Mr. Cook informed the Council the possibility does exist that the Ediz
Hook repair project may be extended to the east to include protective riprap
for the Coast Guard Air Base.

He explained that recent northeast storms and winds have caused erosion
damage to the beach and runway at the Coast Guard Air Station. The Coast
Guard contacted the Corps of Engineers for assistance in preventing further
erosion. According to Mr. Cook, the opinion is that the Corps of Engineers
does possess the authority within the Congressional authority granted to the
Corps of Engineers on the Ediz Hook Beach Erosion Control Project to extend
the work as required to prevent erosion. The estimated cost for providing
this protection to the Coast Guard facility is approximately $1,500,000, and
since the repair work would also protect the harbor the City may be required
to pay approximately $100,000 as a 6.9% local share of the total cost of
the work. One alternative being considered is to seek an exemption to
exclude the local sponsor from sharing in the cost of the work, Mr. Cook said.
Another possibility to consider is that the Coast Guard may choose to do
their own work and under this condition there would be no obligation to the
City.
During his presentation Mr. Cook explained the scope of work on the repair
of Ediz Hook and the formula by which the repair work is to be funded. The
Council discussed with Mr. Cook and Manager Whorton the possibility of other
local entities who will be deriving benefits from the repair work to assume
some of the responsibility for funding the 6.9 percent local share of the cost
of the project.
