Marble Beach Bank Stabilization Project

Marble Beach stabilization when Lake Roosevelt was 37 feet below full pool level for spring flood control. Under these conditions, the now-protected sensitive resources are no longer exposed to destructive natural and human impacts.

Marble Beach stabilization when Lake Roosevelt was 37 feet below full pool level for spring flood control. Under these conditions, the now-protected sensitive resources are no longer exposed to destructive natural and human impacts.

The Marble Beach Bank Stabilization Project was successfully completed in April 2020. This project stabilizes the shoreline, halts bank erosion, and reduces the potential for exposure and loss of sensitive resources through the installation of a retaining wall using concrete blocks and surface-treated riprap.

In October 2018, the Bureau of Reclamation issued the final Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for a bank stabilization project at Marble Beach on Lake Roosevelt in Stevens County, Washington. Work began in late summer of 2019.

The final EA analyzed two actions: the Proposed Action (implementing the project, as described above) and a No Action alternative (non-implementation). Reclamation selected the proposed action for implementation. The EA and FONSI were prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act.
