Description

ALLINS COVE IN BARRINGTON, RHODE ISLAND, IS A SMALL EMBAYMENT OF NARRANGANSETT BAY ESTUARY ABOUT 21 ACRES IN SIZE. ABOUT 8 ACRES AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE COVE WERE USED AS A DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL SITE DURING THE DREGING OF NEARBY BULLOCK POINT COVE IN 1959. THE FILLING ELEVATED THE MARSH AND SUB-TIDAL AREAS ABOVE THE NORMAL RANGE OF THE TIDE. PHRAGMITES HAS COLONIZED THE FILLED AREA. OVER TIME, THE SAND SPIT AT THE SOUTHERLY END OF THE FILLED AREA HAS MIGRATED NORTH-NORTHWEST DUE TO WAVE ACT ION. MIGRATION OF THE BARRIER SPIT NORTHWARD HAS DISPLACED THE TIDAL INLET NORTHWARD TOWARD BYWAY ROAD. THE SHORELINE NEXT TO BYWAY ROAD IS ERODING AND EVENTUALLY BYWAY ROAD AND THE ADJACENT SALT MARSH WILL BE LOST. THE WORK OF THIS PROJECT CONSISTS OF R ESTORING COASTAL HABITAT IN ALLIN??????S COVE, BARRINGTON, RHODE ISLAND, BY EXCAVATING PORTIONS OF FILLED AREA, DISPOSING OF THE EXCAVATED MATERIAL IN AN ON-SITE DISPOSAL AREA, REALIGNING THE TIDAL INLET, CONSTRUCTING A NORTH SAND SPIT AT THE TOE OF THE DI SPOSAL AREA. EXCAVATION AND GRADING WILL BE PERFORMED MECHANICALLY BY CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT USING LOW PRESSURE TIRES OR TRACKS. DURING MARSH EXCAVATION SEDIMENT RUNOFF WILL BE PREVENTED BY CONSTRUCTION OF SLIT FENCING. SOME DISTURBED ARE AS WILL BE SEEDED WITH SUITABLE COASTAL GRASSES IN AREAS MOST SUSPECTIBLE TO EROSION. TWO OSPREY PLATFORMS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED TO INCREASE NESTING HABITAT.
