Skagit Conservation District engineers provide assistance with project planning, feasibility studies, engineering design, permitting and construction management on projects that help conserve natural resources. In some situations, we also can assist in obtaining grant funding for project construction.
SCD’s engineering services program specializes in designing and permitting wetland and salmon habitat restoration and enhancement projects. Our recent projects have included: stream channel design, removing culverts and small dams to improve fish passage, removing shoreline armoring and restoring natural beaches, modification of tide gates to allow tidal flow and fish passage, bioengineered stormwater management facilities, bioengineered bank and shoreline stabilization.
