Discovery Bay Drill Project

The North Olympic Salmon Coalition's Sequim High school crew ( Salmon Crew ) went out to Discovery Bay to see the construction site of the restoration project. We went there to observe what they are doing out on the bay while project manager Kevin Long explained the project. The workers are making an underground pipeline traveling under Snow Creek, using a one million dollar machine called the Horizontal Directional Drill. In the section they were drilling while we were there, there will be a twelve-hundred-foot pipe going through the drilled hole. This will supply water to the community around Discovery Bay. The project is able to happen through
state and federal grants. This is a part of the whole project to relocate the water line and restore the Dicovery Bay area including Maynard Nearshore and Snow Creek Estuary restoration.
