10Site ID:SalisburyTown:10.3Acres:YesRapid Technical Site Assessment:RestrictionFillAgricultureOtherCompleted ProjectMediumPriority:This site consists of a severely degraded 10-acre tidal marsh east of the access road to the Salisbury Beach State Reservation. The site is partially owned by the state and receives limited tidal flow via two culverts beneath the access road and a third culvert beneath Beach Road to the north. The marsh upstream of the access road exhibits several indicators of degraded conditions and is largely dominated by Phragmites. A tide survey measured significant restriction of tidal flow through the two road culverts that are in poor structural condition. Several low-lying structures are located adjacent to the upstream marsh and may limit the amount of restoration potential due to flooding concerns. Restoration potential is considered medium due to the severity of marsh degradation and poor culvert condition, combined with flooding considerations and consequent complexity of restoration activities. See the Rapid Site Assessment for further details.Site Summary:Under DevelopmentImpact Type(s)StatusPotential Project
