CATTLE POINT ROAD REALIGNMENT PROJECT


The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Cattle Point Road Realignment Project was published in the Federal Register on October 10, 2012.
The project involves realignment of a portion of the Cattle Point Road located in the San Juan Island National Historical Park about 8 miles south of Friday Harbor, Washington. About 500 feet of Cattle Point Road is being threatened by coastal erosion which is wearing-away the base of the bluff that supports the road. If erosion continues unabated the roadway will eventually fail, cutting-off the only road access to federal, state, and private property at the east end of the Cattle Point peninsula.

The FEIS describes three alternatives for road realignment and a no-action alternative which would continue current road management. The document analyzes the potential environmental consequences of the alternatives on a range of resources and identifies appropriate measures to minimize or avoid environmental harm. The preferred alternative is Alternative B: Hybrid Mid-Slope Realignment, which would realign about 4,950 feet of road to the north, about 300 feet away from its present location. This alternative is expected to protect the roadway from coastal erosion for about 105 years.
