Lake Chelan State Park Moorage Dock Pile Replacement
30000416
Funding is provided to reappropriate remaining funds from the pile and dock replacement portion of the project and a new request adding capacity to the newly installed docks and piling. This project is a priority because it will concentrate on customer service, improve facility conditions, increase spending by tourists and maintain infrastructure assets in better-than-satisfactory condition.

Millersylvania Replace Original 1940's Water System
30000521
The current water system at Millersylvania State Park was originally built between the 1930’s and 1950s. The latest well was drilled in 1958. The existing water system is nearing the end of its useful life and is experiencing substantial water loss due to leaks, resulting in diminished water quality at the ends of the system. This project constructs a new water distribution system, including a new reservoir, new treatment facilities, fire hydrants, and potentially a new well. Design and permitting would occur in the 2023-25 biennium with construction to follow in the 2025-27 biennium.

Local Grant Authority
30000857
Through the course of a biennium, the commission may receive grants from private partners and citizens to construct or assist in the construction or renovation of park facilities. To be able to spend these grants in a timely manner, the commission is requesting general private/local spending authority. Having spending authority in place at the start of the biennium helps ensure that a project can proceed in the time frame specified by the donors of the grant funds.

Through the course of a biennium, the commission may be successful in obtaining federal grants to construct or assist in the construction or renovation of park facilities. To be able to spend these grants in a timely manner, the commission is provided general federal spending authority. Having spending authority in place at the start of the biennium helps ensure that a project can proceed in the time frame specified in the federal grant award.

Parkland Acquisition
30000976
The Parkland Acquisition Account allows funds to be ready for properties that require swift action to purchase. Over the course of a biennium, the commission may sell some of its surplus land in accordance with public review and commission action. The proceeds from the sale of state park lands are deposited into the account to be used solely for the purchase of new state park properties. This request would allow expenditures from the account for acquisition purposes.

Blake Island Marine Facilities Improvements
40000017
The Blake Island marina area requires dredging for continued use. Crafts cannot use the site during lower tide conditions and the problem is accelerating. Currently, commission staff utilize a temporary access ramp which is operationally inefficient and environmentally less desirable than a permanent solution. This phased project dredges sand and sediment from the entrance channel and south end of the Blake Island marina. The project also includes upgrading moorage, gangway and access routes to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act , creosote removal at the pier and entrance sign, and construction of a permanent ramp for the commission marine crew vessel.

Cape Disappointment - Welcome Center and Entrance Improvements
40000034
The existing welcome center building is overcrowded for staff, volunteers and visitors, and is not ADA compliant for visitors who use the building to check-in for camping, purchase Discover Passes, or get general information for day-use activities. The entrance roadway and circulation system results in significant traffic backups and poor orientation to the park. This project revises previous designs and submits permits for the new welcome center, administration building, road realignment, trail and parking.

Saltwater - Green Vision Project
40000053
Historic modifications to the shoreline and mouth of McSorley Creek in Saltwater State Park have degraded nearshore and estuarine habitat, interrupting habitat-forming processes, reducing the quantity and quality of estuary habitat, degrading water and sediment quality, and decreasing riparian functions. Over 1,000 feet of the Saltwater State Park shoreline is armored with a riprap bulkhead. This project would provide grant match for a King County initiative to improve habitat on the lower 450 feet of McSorley Creek and 1,000 feet of nearshore at Saltwater State Park in Des Moines, and improve park day-use facilities. The project goal is to restore salmon and forage fish habitat and natural habitat-forming processes, while making the park more sustainable in the face of sea-level rise.

Statewide - Fish Barrier Removal
40000123
This project is associated with the ongoing mandated fish barrier removal work consistent with the culvert injunction working guidelines co-developed with treaty tribes. Under this injunction, state agencies are mandated to correct applicable fish barriers within six years of listing. Five barriers have been identified at Ocean City State Park. Correcting these barriers will increase stream habitat for salmonids within the reach. Commission staff have been working closely with the Quinault Indian Nation to identify and prioritize the barriers needed correction. The commission will continue to work with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife who will manage, design and monitor the project through an interagency agreement.

Sun Lakes - Dry Falls Visitor's Center Renovation
40000156
The existing visitor center area at Sun Lakes State Park has multiple deficiencies that need to be repaired, renovated or replaced to meet current codes, safety requirements and operational efficiencies. The existing well is undersized and runs dry during late summer. Access to both the visitor center and restroom do not meet ADA-accessibility requirements. This project renovates the existing visitor center area, including an enhanced potable water system (drill new well and distribution), provides ADA-compliant access to buildings and grounds (visitor center, restroom and access to parking area), historic preservation (rock wall, visitor center roof and exterior siding work, and other related exterior renovations), and interior and exterior exhibit updates.

Palouse to Cascade Trail - Kittitas Depot Historic Preservation
40000157
The historic Kittitas railroad depot has structural problems that require a new foundation and other improvements. This project renovates the depot, provides ADA-accessible amenities for visitors and provides facilities available for a future vendor lease. Site improvements include asphalt paving of the existing gravel parking lot, space striping and ADA signing, and improvements to ingress and egress to adjoining public roads. Improvements to the structure include repair/replacement of the foundation and preservation of select historical features. ADA-accessible bathrooms will also be constructed.

Cape Disappointment: Campground Access Road Culverts
40000178
The Cape Disappointment campground access road was constructed as early as the 1930s across alluvial sand and gravel. While localized pavement repairs have been completed in recent years, additional erosion and sinkholes have developed, threatening the stability, reliability and safety of the access road. Increasing precipitation patterns, rising sea level and increased runoff are likely to further strain the culverts and roadway embankment. This funding supports study and survey, engineering analysis, design, and permitting for culvert replacements and road improvements.

2021-23 Recreational Marine Sewage Disposal Program (CVA)
40000366
Sewage in the holding tank of a recreational vessel is almost always untreated, containing nutrients and toxic chemicals that stimulate harmful algae growth and deplete oxygen in the water. Funding is provided for marine sewage disposal facility projects from the engineering design phase through the construction phase. Typical projects include the construction and renovation of pump outs, dump stations, floating restrooms, pump out barges, along with the necessary support structures and utilities.

Lake Sylvia Culvert Replacement
40000385
The entrance road into Lake Sylvia State Park is the only road in to and out of the park and the potential failure of a partially blocked culvert could cause the road to collapse. This project would replace the small round culvert with a large box culvert or small bridge. The larger opening would allow storm runoff, woody debris and sediment to wash downstream in a natural progression towards Lake Sylvia. Design and permitting is in progress, construction would be in the 2023-25 biennium.
