Hamilton Wetlands and Bel Marin Keys Unit V Restoration

******

On August 22, 2019, the Board of the State Coastal Conservancy approved $20 million in funding for the first phase of the restoration of BMKV.  A solicitation for bids for construction of the Bel Marin Keys Unit V Phase 1 project component of the Hamilton Wetlands Restoration Project was posted at Cal eProcure. The construction manager is Russ Barnes of Wilshire Consulting: rbarnes@wilshireconsultingllc.com.

The restoration of Bel Marin Keys Unit V (BMKV) and the adjacent North Antenna Field (NAF) is expected to commence this Fall (2019). The restoration of these properties will create new wetlands habitat for wildlife, flood protection for the community of Bel Marin Keys and complete the Hamilton Wetlands Restoration Project.  This component of the Hamilton Wetland Restoration Project seeks to create a mosaic of tidal, seasonal, and transitional habitat by constructing flood control features, placing dredged material to elevate the diked, subsided baylands, and reintroducing tidal waters to the site.
