The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to design, permit, and implement restoration efforts for a 500 linear foot section of shoreline at Reach 4B6 of NSFIH. The work is focused on erosion control and water quality enhancement using structural and vegetative methods. These include living shorelines, boulder toes, sand and gravel fill, filter cloth, native plantings, and headland structures. This effort supports broader goals under the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint and complies with federal and Department of Defense (DoD) environmental mandates. The work contributes to the requirements of the Sikes Improvement Act, Executive Order 13508, and other conservation regulations applicable to Navy lands.
