Scope of Work: 77ie City of Kenai will work with partners to rehabilitate approximately 1 acre
of dune grass habitat along the North and South shores of the mouth of the Kenai River.
Revegetation work will consist of transplanting sprigs beach wild rye in areas currently devoid of
vegetation. The work area will focus on the dunes area on the North shore of the river at the
South Spruce Street beach access point. Additional revegetation work will occur on the South
shore if funds are available or additional funding is secured. Areas planted with sprigs will be
fertilized with application rates recommended by the Alaska Plant Materials Center to ensure
plant survival To protect the existing vegetation and the newly planted wild rye approximately
1,600 feet offence will be installed on the back side of the dimes. During the July dip-net
fishery the City will install snow fencing along the river side of the dunes to prevent trampling of
the dune grass from the beach side of the dunes. At the South Spruce Street parking lot an
educational sign highlighting the importance of the dime habitat will be erected. Along the
access road behind the dunes 3-4 beach access points will be fenced to allow access to the beach
and minimize the amount of dune habitat damaged by foot and vehicle traffic If the City is able
to secure additional funds these access points will be elevated walkways instead of fenced access
points.
