Summary
The Trustees’ proposed action (preferred alternative) is the Kensington& Tacony Trail (K&T Trail) Living Shoreline and Tacony Boat Ramp Project. The project would transform an eroding shoreline and industrial bulkhead into a naturalized and living shoreline (1,100 linear feet) on a site approximately ¼ mile south of the Metal Bank site. The park project includes: repair and stabilization of the riverbank at the Tacony Boat Launch and a wharf that is directly south along the K&T Trail; integration of living shoreline techniques in the design of the shoreline restoration; creation of a freshwater tidal wetland; and protection of Spatterdock (Nuphar advena) stands found in the work area.
