LUP15-037, Port of Port Townsend Boat Haven boat ramp addition/repair: This project
involves construction of a small(18'wide)concrete recreational boat launch ramp,together with a
series of associated improvements. The new 140'long ramp will be made of pre-cast concrete
panels installed adjacent to and parallel with an existing 18'wide concrete boat ramp operated by
the Port of Port Townsend("Port")at its Boat Haven Marina.
In concert with the new work,the existing boat ramp will be extended by approximately 13'feet to
match the proposed new ramp length. Excavation both above and below the Mean Higher High
Water (MHHW) mark would be performed to accommodate the new ramp construction. New
riprap as scour protection would be placed to surround the end of the new ramp with a concurrent
repair/addition of scour protection placed to surround the existing ramp extension.
Between the 2 ramps,the completed project would install a series of seven(7)6'wide grated floats
that will be anchored via four (4) new galvanized steel piles. The project also includes
construction of new steel sheetpile walls,and a new concrete retaining wall and abutment.
As part of the Shoreline Master Program (SMP) permitting, this review will also analyze the
project for conformance with adopted Critical Area regulations.
