Local contractors and people hired from the surrounding community to work on the reconstruction and debris removal. Creation of on-site mitigation (instead of using proposed mitigation bank) reduced project costs, created open space for the County, and preserved highquality wetlands. 10

17 Environmental Successes/Design Build Innovations Collaboration focused on the community and environment allowed flexibility by the contractor, designer, and agencies as the project progressed Right-sizing culverts and the onsite wetland and stream mitigation site saved money, restored streams and wetlands, is a memorial to Linda McPherson, and was transferred to Snohomish County Parks as a protected natural area Extraordinary construction water quality management by Atkinson Reuse of excavated soil on Snohomish County s White Horse Trail reconstruction Contractors shared security costs Successful Project Outcomes Completed reconstruction of SR 530 in just 6 months after the landslide construction lasted only 13 weeks. Opened two-way temporary road within days of contract award. Coordinated, designed, and constructed six fish passage culverts. Designed and restored wetlands at two staging areas. Designed, permitted, and constructed the Linda Lee McPherson wetland and stream mitigation site on 36.3 acres. Saved WSDOT $5.4 million over the engineer s estimate. 17

18 McPherson Mitigation Site The goal of putting a high price tag on the use of the existing mitigation site was to incentivize the DB to minimize impacts to aquatic resources but it had an unexpected but extraordinary result. The DB decided that it was a better value to purchase and develop their own mitigation site, McPherson. This is unprecedented in my experience with the agency and it resulted in the acquisition and protection of a really high quality property in the immediate impact area, the McPherson site. -Linda Cooley, WSDOT Environmental Tips to share Start planning now Bringing your A Team Assign areas of responsibility Have extra people on hand Start tracking daily logs, dollars expended, labor hours. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate Use internal and external resources Recognize and tend to emotions Give grace to people 18
