BULKIMAD AND RAMP RESTORATIONU.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

PLUM ISLAI\ID ANIMAL DISEASE CENTERORIENT POINT TERMINAL

NARRATTVE STATEMENT AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

June 1,2020

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) ferry terminal facilities are located on theeast end of Long Island's North Shore at Orient Point, Assessor Map 1000-132-l-30. Thewaterfront is approximately 1,250 feet of wharf and terminal ferry landing facilities, built originallyby the US Army in the early 1900's and later transferred to the Department of Agriculture. PlumIsland, and the PIADC, is now owned and operated by the United States Government's Departmentof Homeland Security. Plum Island is a secured Federal facility, on land owned entirely and solelyby the Federal Government. There are no public trust issues associated with this site. Public accessis prohibited and actively enforced by armed guards.

The PIADC Orient Point Harbor facilities are along the south shore. The terrain isgenerally flat in the area of the harbor infrastructure with gently sloped surrounding terrain andmostly paved over sandy gravel earthen material operational surfaces built up landward of thebulkhead wharf facilities to support ferry operations of a semi-industrial transportation hub nature.The top elevation of the ground surface behind the bulkhead in the project area is approximately 10

feet and is at or above the Coastal Erosion line as typically applied to Town of Southold coastalsites. The Coastal Erosion limit line cuts across the entrance channel 300 feet east of the work area

and all aspects of this project are landward of it. The developed shoreline is industrial in nature,paved and substantially protected. This basin is "manmade"; there are no public trust issues at thissite. There is no tidal wetland vegetation on the bulkheaded work site and no submerged aquaticvegetation in the adjacent near shore waters.

This project is the restoration of existing facilities, the complete north section of the steelpile sheet bulkhead at both of the ramp landing facilities and the wood pile fenders and fixed woodpier repairs. The scope of work for this project will be undertaken in one construction contract.

One element of the work is to install a new steel sheet pile bulkhead immediately landwardof the existing bulkhead, along the basin wall immediately adjacent to the Plum Island ferry landingramp in the north side of the harbor. This bulkhead suffers from extensive corrosion and impendingmaterial failure. The tie-back system is also corroded and deteriorated and the sheets have been

damaged by the wear and tear of ferry operations loss of section and the relentless exposure to

marine waters. The new bulkhead will be set, landward of the existing steel sheet pile system

which will remain during construction, but to act as toe stabilization of the new bulkhead. The

sheet piling will be backfilled with crushed stone so as to provide lateral stability to protect the

existing sheets from further surface erosion and oxidation. The warn out section of the existingbulkhead, will be extracted. All of this work will be landward of the Spring High Tide

Line/Apparent High Water line.

The other related element of this project is to re-install a new, heavy duty vehicle ramps tothe east and west of the wood pier, relocating the west ramp 5 feet to the west at its currentelevation and raising the east rarnp, in place, by 18 inches. This ramp facility will be pile mountedto eliminate settlement due to heavy loads and will protrude to the same encroachment limits as

now exist

This supplemental narrative has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Stateand Federal permit agencies and the Town of Southold's Ordinance No. 6, 2W4, and the LocalWaterfront Revitalization Program related to docks and shorefront improvements. This project siteis landward of the Coastal Erosion limit line. This project is a federal installation and exemptedfrom provisions of the NYS Coastal Management Act and is so listed in Appendix D. Pertinentfactors for consideration under Section 661 of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservationregulations for Tidal Wetlands and adjacent areas are addressed herein but the emphasis is thatneither tidal wetlands nor SAV exist in or immediately adjacent to the work site and no impact tothose resources, if they exist nearby, will result from the project. The proposed work falls withinthe scope of the US Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit No. 3.

PROJECT PURPOSE

This existing bulkhead system was installed approximately 40 years ago. The system hascorroded and deteriorated under climatic conditions and routine wear and tear and must be replacedin order to provide the PIADC facility with viable, structurally sound vehicle and freight transferand supply tolfrom Plum Island for essential transportation of materials, equipment and personnelon a daily, all-weather basis.

ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS

The Federal Govemment owns Plum Island and this site in its entirety. The nearest adjacentproperty is the Cross Sound Ferry Terminal at Orient to the west and the restaurant and marina tothe west tip of Orient Point almost a mile to the west which is also owned by the FederalGovernment and utilized for the point of access for primary electrical and water service to PlumIsland.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Photographs of the project site, as released by the Department of Homeland Security, are

attached herewith.

PROJECT ALTBRNATIVBS

There are only three real options to pursue at this time to maintain the operational efficiencyand capacity of the transportation system

o Do nothingo Repair and restore the existing facilities, as is, oro Replace and modify the facilities in some way

During the underwater diving visual inspection ten years ago, small isolated holes were

observed in the steel sheeting near the point of embedment indication substantial loss of section and

structural stability. The exposed sheet at these holes were razor sharp, indicative of the loss of steel.2

The existing facilities have been burdened with vehicle loads beyond original expectations. The"do nothing" option is not considered viable or appropriate because the existing bulkhead is in such

condition that failure to repair and protect the structure will necessitate the discontinuance of its use

in the near future. Collapse or failure of the bulkhead would close the ferry slips.

The second option is very limited. The scour damage to the bulkhead runs almost the fulllength of the steel sheeting. There is no good, cost effective method of repairing 40-year-oldcorroded steel in an underwater marine exposure without driving new steel sheeting or pouring newconcrete. With that in mind, over sheeting becomes the most economically feasible option. Themajor draw back of this approach is the construction of the basin which is already critically small.

The third option is complete replacement of the facilities. This would be the most costlyand would require the ferry operations to be out of only one slip for the longest period of time andfor both reasons, represents a hardship. Pursuing this course of action would, however, yield a

more or less maintenance free operation for decades and not constrict future operations. The newramp structure will be mounted so as to avoid potentially damaging pavement surcharge loads tothe bulkheadbackfill. The new bulkhead would have a tieback anchor system.

SEQUENCE OF WORK

As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, this project is to restore the bulkhead and ferryramp landings at the Orient terminal of the Plum Island Animal Disease Center in accordance withguidelines set forth by the State of New York DEC and the Town of Southold ordinance No. 62004.

With regard to the scope of work for this project, the sequence of work will be as follows:

The work area will be prepared, including pavement removal and excavation of existinggravely, sandy backfill to unload the existing bulkhead and clear the way for new repair andrestoration construction.Obstructions and utilities will be removed as necessary to make way for the layout of thenew work.

It is envisioned that the ferry landing ramp sheet pile bulkhead walls'will be installedutilizing the following general sequence and methodology.

tugboat and at least one work boat. All equipment will be on the barge or be trucked ontothe site.

be removed to make way for the installation of the new bulkhead.

minimize backfill loads on the existing bulkfiead.The concrete ramp will be demolished and removed but leaving the scour wall in placeThe new sheeting will be installed while the ramp is out of position. These sheet piles willbe driven at the general locations shown in the application drawings immediately behind the

existing wall and ramp. Crushed stone and/or gravel backfill will be placed between the

new and existing bulkhead sheets.

The hinged ramp will be reinstalled to match pre-existing conditions but set on steel piles.

Bulkhead tie-back anchor rods will be cut and re-installed to the new anchor system drivenbehind the new bulkhead.Wood fender piles and the wale/cap system on the top of the existing bulkhead will be

removed to complete this phase of the installation.

New Fender piles will be driven in front of the new bulkhead.Pier and slip/guide fender repairs will be accomplished.

REOT]IREMENTS OF SECTION 97.25 OF TIIE WETLANDS LAW

The permittee acknowledges that the validity of this permit is subject to the approval ofother governmental or municipal authorities.

The permittee does, by the acceptance of this permit, assume all responsibility foroperations undertaken pursuant to this permit, and shall take all precautions for the prevention ofinjuries to persons and property resulting from such operations.

The permittee gives consent to the State or Town and its officers, employees and agents toenter upon the premises where such operations are being conducted to make such inspections todetermine whether said operations are being conducted in conformity with the permit; such accessand inspections are governed by the operating rules and regulations of the U.S. Department ofHomeland Security, PIADC.

The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing one week prior to initiation of any and alloperations, and likewise the NYS DEC on forms provided in the permit.

The permittee will notify the Trustees and State DEC in writing upon completion ofoperations such that the site can be inspected for issuance for a certificate of compliance.

In response to Town of Southold Local Law Number 6, the following additional informationis offered.

t. Permits for the work are being applied for through the Town, USACE, The NYSDOS and NYS DEC. This project is exempted from a coastal zone consistencydetermination by the NYS DOS and this has been confirmed with the DOS. Thisproject is covered by the US ACOE Nationwide Permit No. 3.

Any facilities constructed of wood, will be of sturdy, durable and stable materials; inall likelihood, CCA pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine or Greenheart piles, withone or multiple 1" minimum diameter galvanized bolts per connection and wrappedwith galvanized cables, if required for clustered piles.It is respectfully requested that the use of CCA pressure-treated piles (as an option toGreenheart piles) and timbers be approved for this project if Greenheart isunavailable or they are determined to be the most advantageous option to PIADC.The l5-foot property line clearances specified in this paragraph are complied with.Upon receipt of the permit (if required) for this project, appropriate permit numbers

and / or certificates will be affixed to the most seaward face of the center dolphin foridentification from the water.The ramps, decking and railing will be reinstalled. Area lights on the ramp facilitywill be moved to be clear of the tie-back anchors as will the electrical service panel

US Armv Corps of Eneineers -This project is covered under Nationwide Permit #3 of the US Army Corps of Engineers for

repair and restoration of the bulkhead. It is anticipated thatYZ2l or 35 steel sheets will be used. Thebulkhead face to face separation would be 18 inches. If US PZ 35 steel sheets are not available, ArbedAZ 26 steel sheets will be used as a last resort; even set hard against the existing steel wale, thesesheets would create a24 inch face to face separation. The new bulkhead cannot be driven outside theexisting bulkhead because of the already constricted vessel maneuvering space, which cannot bereduced further. Because of the 22-foot grade to bottom elevation difference, the existing wall cannotbe removed to allow "in place" replacement.

NYS DEC Tidal Wetlands Regulations - Sections 661.5 and 661.9

This project represents the replacement of existing, long-standing bulkhead and new ferrylanding facilities for Plum Island with no adverse environmental impacts and no furtherencroachment into tidal waters. This facility was most recently re-built in the early-1990's and hasbeen routinely maintained since that time.

There are no tidal wetlands vegetation within several hundred feet of the site and no SAV inthe waters adjacent to the wall. A ferry landing on the waterfront is considered to be generallycompatible use in an adjacent area (AA) with a permit being required under Section 661.5 (b) (1), 15

and 24. This project, however, is repair and restoration of existing facilities with no newencroachment.

Under Section 661.9, the standards for issuance of permits of NYS DEC regulations, thefollowing are considered to be pertinent considerations. The policies are created to preserve andprotect tidal wetlands and prevent their despoliation and destruction and that regulated activities willnot have an undo adverse impact on the present or potential value of the nearby tidal wetlands.

This new ramp and bulkhead restoration project for the ferry terminal is compatible withpublic health and welfare policies of the State specifically referenced under Section 661.6.

and restoration of an existing, long-standing facility that has previously undergone review bythe Department in rendering previous permits. Furthermore, the project supports thecontinued operation of a long-standing, high-priority, secured Federal installation and thewaterfront ferry facility structure is compatible with the use of the site, zoning and the long-standing use of the site.

of nearby tidal wetlands vegetation. There are no tidal wetlands in the Plum Island terminalharbor; all of the terminal shoreline is developed shorefront. Construction materials will be inaccordance with the NYS DEC standards and Town of Southold regulations and laws as

previously addressed.

Town of Southold - LIVRP. NYS DOS Coastal Consistencv

These application documents include a copy of the Town of Southold Local Waterfront

Revitalization Program (LWRP) work sheet addressing what would customarily be pertinent sections

of the plan. The NYS DOS has suggested that since the Coastal Management Act does not apply to

this project, neither does the LWRP. Nonetheless, the following policies from the Local Waterfront

Revitalization Program would normally be appropriate and have been identified as pertinent to this

application and the reason for consistency associated with this project is outlined in each respective

case.

Policv 2 -Water Dependent Uses - This project is to retain a fully functional water dependent use

of a ferry terminal facility for an essential transportation to and from Plum Island.

Policy 5 - Use of Existine Developed Shorefront - This project will be primarily to repair andrestore existing shofe / ferry interface structures, clear of sensitive habitat or tidal wetlands andmake them safe and reliably usable in all weather conditions, excluding coastal storms,

Policy 7 - Significant Fish & Wildlife Habitat - Protection of significant fish and wildlife habitathas been considered in the development of this project layout and the waters around Orient Pointare classified as essential fish habitat, however, the actual terminal is an industrial facility in a

man-made harbor, not representative of desirable natural habitat. In any case, these facilities willbe restored in kind.

Policy 8 - Protection & Preservation of Habitat - Protection and preservation of habitat has alsobeen considered in this project and the terminal facility is being kept to its minimal configurationconsistent with standards of the industry and restrictions set forth in the Wetlands Law, No. 6, 2004set forth by the Town of Southold. The ferries will operate at the same location and within thesame footprint as the current operation. There are no significant changes to the dimension orconfiguration of the bulkhead and ramp facilities.

Policy I I - Minimize Damage to Natural Resources - The bulkhead repair and restoration projecthas been laid out in the same footprint so as to be consistent with and so as to minimize impact tonatural resources as identified in Policy 7 above. There is no sensitive fringe wetlands growth andthere is no submerged aquatic vegetation in the sub-tidal zone where the work is to take place.

Policv 14 - No Measurable Increase in Floodine - This project consists of repairs of ferry terminalfacilities that will in no way adversely affect water flow and circulation in the harbors floodingpotential of the area. Flood levels all around Orient Point and Plum Island are dictated by waterlevels in Gardiners Bay, Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound and these structures will haveno adverse influence on those flood levels.

Policy 15 - No Dredeine - Dredging is not required in this project, however, backfill materialtrapped between the two bulkhead, which falls into the basin, during the extraction of the existingbulkhead, will be dug out and incorporated in to the project scope of work. The waters in this smallman-made harbor is appreciably deeper offshore and the ferry anival and departure maneuveringtends to keep the finer-grained sediments from accreting at the ramp landing sites of the proposedwork.

Policy 19 - Impact on Public Access - There is no public access to or usage of lands at this site;

there is no intertidal zone. Thus, public access to the State's waters is not possible at Plum Island

because of the design of the ferry terminal facilities and site security requirements. Plum Island is asecured Federal research facility where recreation or unsecured public access is not allowed; access

is, in fact, prohibited in the interest of national security and the health and welfare of the public.

Policy 20 - Public Trust Compatibility with Existing Adjoinine Properties and Land Uses- Public

Trust compatibility to existing adjoining properties and land uses has also been considered but isnot relevant in this project.

Policy 21 - Water Dependent Recreation - This project is consistent with water-dependent uses

opportunities policies set forth in this section. The facilities will continue to be used for essential

transportation for Federal installation at the ferry terminal.

6

Policy 24 -Scenic Resources. Impairment or Loss - This policy is intended to prevent impairmentor loss of scenic resources. The conslruction of the ramp facilities will not represent any newencroachment or structure which would create a loss of scenic resources. The terminals areindustrial, working waterfront sites. The elevated northerly bulkhead section on will be only 18

inches to a couple of feet higher than the existing facility and will not even be noticeable from thewaters off-shore which are a minimum of a quarter- mile distant.

Policy 25 - Enhance Overall Scenic Ouality - The new ramp facilities will be consistent with thehistoric scenic quality of the area and prevent loss of scenic resources as described in Policy 24above. The refurbished facilities will hardly be noticeable in context with the other existingfacilities which dominate the shore of the harbors and again, these are industrial nature workingwaterfront sites and the repair work is confined to the developed shorefront.

Policv 44 - Preserve and Protect Tidal Wetlands - There is no tidal wetlands on this project site.While the terminal facilities abut dune and tidal wetlands vegetation areas, this project will have noadverse impact on wetlands vegetation which exists elsewhere in and beyond the harbor facilities.

SUMMARY

This project is to restore a longstanding ferry terminal bulkhead and to the ferry ramps andassociated intermodal transportation facilities gfor the US Department of Homeland Securityserving Plum Island. A copy of all US Army Corps of Engineers, NYS DEC and Town of Southoldapplications are attached as substantiation for this project. The Corps has indicated that ramp repairand restoration work may proceed under Nationwide Permit No. 3. This project complies withapplicable standards of the New York State Coastal Management Act (although not required to doso), Town of Southold Local Ordinance No. 6, 20[J.4 and Local Waterfront Revitalization Programand is a presumptive compatible use under NYS DEC Regulations Part 661; its approval by allagencies is respectfully requested.

PLT]M ISLAND ANIMAL DISEASE CENTERORIENT POINT TBRMINAL

NARRATTVE STATEMENT AI\D SI]PPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

June 1,202I)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) ferry terminal facilities are located on theeast end of Long Island's North Shore at Orient Point, Assessor Map 1000-132-1-30. Thewaterfront is approximately 1,25O feet of wharf and terminal ferry landing facilities, built originallyby the US Army in the early 1900's and later transferred to the Department of Agriculture. PlumIsland, and the PIADC, is now owned and operated by the United States Government's Departmentof Homeland Security. Plum Island is a secured Federal facility, on land owned entirely and solelyby the Federal Government. There are no public tmst issues associated with this site. Public accessis prohibited and actively enforced by armed guards.

The PIADC Orient Point Harbor facilities are along the south shore. The terrain isgenerally flat in the area of the harbor infrastructure with gently sloped surrounding terrain andmostly paved over sandy gravel earthen material operational surfaces. built up landward of thebulkhead wharf facilities to support ferry operations of a semi-industrial transportation hub nature.The top elevation of the ground surface behind the bulkhead in the project area is approximately 10feet and is at or above the Coastal Erosion line as typically applied to Town of Southold coastalsites. The Coastal Erosion limit line cuts across the enhance channel 300 feet east of the work areaand all aspects of this project are landward of it. The developed shoreline is industrial in nature,paved and substantially protected. This basin is "manmade"; there are no public trust issues at thissite. There is no tidal wetland vegetation on the bulkheaded work site and no submerged aquaticvegetation in the adjacent near shore waters.

This project is the restoration of existing facilities, the complete norttr section of the steelpile sheet bulkhead at both of the ramp landing facilities and the wood pile fenders and fixed woodpier repairs. The scope of work for this project will be undertaken in one construction contract.

One element of the work is to install a new steel sheet pile bullhead immediately landwardof the existing bulkhead, along the basin wall immediately adjacent to the Plum Island ferry landingramp in the north side of the harbor. This bulkhead suffers from extensive corrosion and impendingmaterial failure. The tie-back system is also corroded and deteriorated and the sheets have beendamaged by the wear and tear of ferry operations loss of section and the relentless exposure tomarine waters. The new bulkhead will be set, landward of the existing steel sheet pile systemwhich will remain during construction, but to act as toe stabilization of the new bulkhead. The

sheet piling will be bacldilled with'cnrshed stone so as to provide lateral stability to protect the

existing sheets from further surface erosion and oxidation. The warn out section of the existingbulkhead, will be extracted. All of this work will be landward of the Spring High'TideLine/Apparent High Water line.

The other related element of this project is to re-install a new, heavy duty vehicle ramps tothe east and west of the wood pier, reiocating the west ramp 5 feet to the west at its currentelevation and raising the east ramp, in place, by 18 inches. This ramp facility will be pile mountedto eliminate settlement due to heavy loads and will protrude to the same encroachment limits as

now exist

This supplemental narrative has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Stateand Federal permit agencies and the Town of Southold's Ordinance No. 6,20fJ/., and the LocalWaterfront Revitalization Program related to docks and shorefront improvements. This project siteis landward of the Coastal Erosion limit line. This project is a federal installation and exemptedfrom provisions of the NYS Coastal Management Act and is so listed in Appendix D. Pertinentfactors for consideration under Section 661 of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservationregulations for Tidal Wetlands and adjacent areas are addressed herein but the emphasis is thatneither tidal wetlands nor SAV exist in or immediately adjacent to the work site and no impact tothose resources, if they exist nearby, will result from the proiect. The proposed work falls withinthe scope of the US Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit No. 3.

PROJECT PURPOSE

This existing bulkhead system was installed approximately 40 years ago. The system hascorroded and deteriorated under climatic conditions and routine wear and tear and must be replacedin order to provide the PIADC facility with viabte, structurally sound vehicle and freight transferand supply tolfrom Plum Island for essential transportation of materials, equipment and personnelon a daily, all-weather basis.

ADJACENT PROPERIY OWI\IERS

The Federal Government owns Plum Island and this site in its entirety. The nearest adjacentproperty is the Cross Sound Ferr)r Terminal at Orient to the west and the restaurant and marina tothe west tip of Orient Point almost a mile to the west which is also owned by the FederalGovernment and utilized for the point of access for primary electrical and water service to PlumIsland.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Photographs of the project site, as released by the Department of Homeland Security, areattached herewith.

PROJECT ALTERNATIVES

There are only three real options to pursue at this time to maintain the operational efficiencyand capacity of the transportation system.


During the underwater diving visual inspection ten years ago, small isolated holes were

observed in the steel sheeting near the point of embedment indication substantial loss of section and

structural stabitity. The exposed sheet at these holes were razor sharp, indicative of the loss of steel.2

The existing facilities have been burdened with vehicle loads beyond original expectations. The

"do nothing" option is not consideied viable or appropriate because the existing bulkhead is in such

condition that failure to repair and protect the structure will necessitate the discontinuance of its use


The second option is very limited. The scour damage to the bulkhead runs almost the fulllenglh of the steel sheeting. There is no good, cost effective method of repairing 40-year-oldcorroded steel in an underwater marine exposure without driving new steel sheeting or pouring newconcrete. With that in mind, over sheeting becomes the most economically feasible option. Themajor draw back of this approach.is the construction of the basin which is already critically small.

The third option is complete replacement of the facilities. This would be the most costlyand would require the ferry operations to be out of only one slip for the longest period of time andfor both reasons, represents a hardship. Pursuing this course of action would, however, yield amotre or less maintenance free operation for decades and not constrict future operations. The newramp structure will be mounted so as to avoid potentially damaging pavement surcharge loads tothe bulkhead bacldill. The new bulkhead would have a tieback anchor system.

SEQUENCE OF WORK

As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, this project is to restore the bulkhead and fenyramp landings at the Orient terninal of the Plum Island Animal Disease Center in accordance withguidelines set forth by the State of New York DEC and the Town of Southold ordinance No. 6,2004.

REOUIREMEI\TS OF SECTTON 97-?5 OF TrIE WETLAI\IDS LAW



The pennittee gives consent to the State or Town and its officers, employees and agents toenter upon the premises where such oirerations are being conducted to make such inspections todetermine whether said operations iue being conducted in conformity with the permit; such accessand inspections are governed by the operating nrles and regulations of the U.S. Department ofHomeland Sec[rity, PIADC.

The permittee will notify the Trustees in writing one week prior to initiation of any and alloperations, and likewise the NYS DEC on forrrs provided in the pennit.

The permittee will notify the Trustees and State DEC in writing upon completion ofoperations such that the site can be inspected for issuance for a certificate of compliance.


1. Permits for the work are being applied for through the Town, USACE, The NYSDOS and NYS DEC. This project is exempted from a coastal zone consistencydetermination by the NYS DOS and this has been confirmed with tlie DOS. Thisproject is covered by the US ACOE Nationwide Permit No. 3.

2. Any facilities constnrcted of wood, will be of sturdy, durable and stable materials; inall likelihood, CCA pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine or Greenheart piles, withone or multiple l" minimum diameter galvanized bolts per connection and wrappedwith galvanized cables, if required fot clustered piles.

3. It is resperffully requested that the use of CCA pressure-treated piles (as an option toGreeriheart piles) and timbers be approved for this project if Greenheart isunavailable or they are determined to be the most advantageous option to PIADC.

4. The 15-foot property line clearances specified in this paragraph are complied with.5. Upon receipt of the permit (if required) for this project, appropriate permit numbers

and / or certificates will be affixed to the most seaward face of the center dolphin foridentification from the water.

6. The ramps, decking and railing will be reinstalled. Area lights on the ramp facilitywill be moved to be clear of the tie-back anchors as will the electrical service panel

and all utilities.7. There is no need to provide adequate room for a five-foot passage way on the

upland. Terminal facitities are Federally owned and operated, subject to the security

US Amv Coros of Enqineers -This project is covered under Nationwide Permit #3 of the US Army Corps of Engineers for

repair and restoration of the bulkhead. It is anticipated thatPZ2T or.35 steel sheets will be used. Thebulkhead face to face separation would be 18 inches. If US PZ35 steel sheets are not available, ArbedAZ 26 steel sheets will be used as a last resort; even set hard against the existing steel wale, thesesheets would create a24 inch face to face separation. The new bulkhead cannot be driven outside theexisting bulkhead because of the ulreudy constricted vessel maneuvering space; which cannot bereduced further. Because of the 22-foot grade to bottom elevation difference, the existing wall cannotbe removed to allow "in place" repl,acement.

NYS DEC Tidal \tretlands Resulations - Sections 661.5 and 661.9

This project represents the replacement of existing, long-standing bulkhead and new ferrylanding facilities for Plum Island with no adverse environmental impacts and no furtherencroachment into tidal waters. This facility was most recently re-built in the early-1990's and hasbern routinely maintained since that time.

There are no tidal wetlands vegetation within several hundred feet of the site and no SAV inthe waters adjacent to the wall. A ferry landing on the waterfront is considered to be generallycompatible use in an adjacent area (AA) with u p"*rit being required under Section 661.5 (t) (t), tSand 2,4. This project, however, is repair and restoration of existing facilities with no newencroachment.

Under Section 661.9, the standards for issuance of permits of NYS DEC regulations, thefollowing are considered to be pertinent considerations. The policies are created to preserve andprotect tidal wetlands and prevent their despoliation and desffuction and that regulated activities willnot have an undo adverse impact on the present or potential value of the nearby tidal wetlands.

This new ramp and bulkhead restoration project for the ferry tenninal is compatible withpublic health and welfare policies of the State specifically referenced under Section 661.6.

and restoration of an existing, lqng-standing facility that has previously undergone review bythe Department in rendering previous permits. Furthennore, the project supports thecontinued operation of a long-standing, high-priority, secured Federal installation and thewaterfront ferry facility stnrcture is compatible with the use of the site, zoning and the long-standing use of the site.

application and thi reason for consistency associated with this project is ouflined in each respective

C&S€;

Policy 2 -Water Dependent Uses - This project is to retain a fully functional water dependent use

of a ferry terminal facility for an essential transportation to and from Plum Island. '

Policy 5 - Use of Existine Developed Shorefront - This project will be primarily to repair andrestore existing shoie I ferry interface structures, clear of sensitive habitat or tidal wetlands andmake them safe and reliably usable in all weather conditions, excluding coastal storms.

Policy 7 - Significant Fish & Wildlife Habitat - Protection of significant fish and wildlife habitathas been considered in the development of this project layout and the waters around Orient Pointare classified as essential fish habitat, however, the actual terminal is an industrial facility in aman-made harbor, not representative of desirable natural habitat. In any case, these facilities willbe restored in kind.

Policy 8 - Protection & Preservation of ,Habitat - Protection and preservation of habitat has alsobeen considered in this project and the terminal facility is being kept to its minimal configurationconsistent with standards of the industry and resfrictions set forttr in the Wetlands Law, No. 6, 2004set forth by the Town of Southold. The ferries will operate at the sarne location and within thesame.footprint as the current operation. There are no significant changes to the dimension orconfiguration of the bulkhead and ramp facilities.

Policy 11. - Minimize Damase to Natural Rdsources - The bulkhead repair and restoration projecthas been laid out in the same footprint so as to be consistent with and so as to minimize impact tonatural resources as identified in Policy 7 above. There is no sensitive fringe wetlands growth andthere is no submerged aquatic vegetation in the sub-tidal zone where the work is to take place.

Policy 14 - No Measurable Increase in Floodine - This project consists of repairs of ferry terminalfacilities that will in no way adversely affect water flow and circulation in the harbors floodingpotential of the area. Flood levels all around Orient Point and Plum Island are dictated by waterlevels in Gardiners Bay, Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound and these structures will haveno adverse influence on those flood levels.

Policy 15 - No Dredgine - Dredging is not required in this project, however, backfill materialtrapped between the two bulkhead, which falls into the basin, during the extraction of the existingbulkhead, will be dug out and incorporated in to the project scope of work. The waters in this smallman-made harbor is appreciably deeper offshore and the ferry arrival and departure maneuveringtends to keep the finer-grained sediments from accreting at the rarrp landing sites of the proposedwork.

Policy 19 - Impact on Public Access - There is no public access to or usage of lands at this site;there is no intertidal zone. Thus, public access to the State's waters is not possible at Plum Islandbecause of the design of the ferry tenninal facilities and site security requirements. Plum Island is asecured Federal research facility where recreation or unsecured public access is not allowed; access


Policy 20 - Public Trust Compatibility with Existing Adjoining Properties and Land Uses- PublicTrust compatibility to existing adjoining properties and land uses has also been considered but isnot relevant in this project.

Policv 21 - Water Dependent Recreation - This project is consistent with water-dependent uses

opportunities policies set forth in this section. The facilities will continue to be used for essential


6

Policy 24 -scenic Resources. Impairment or [,oss - This policy is intended to prevent impairmentor loss of scenic resources. The constnrction of the ramp facilities will not represent any new

encroachment or structure which would create a loss of scenic resources. The terminals are

industrial, working waterfront sites. The elevated northerly bulkhead section on will be only 18

inches to a couple of feet higher than the existing facility and will not even be noticeable from thewaters off-shore which are a minimum of a quarter- mile distant.

Policy 25 - Enhance Overall Scenic Ouality - The new ramp facilities will be consistent with thehistoric scenic quality of the area and prevent loss of scenic resources as described in Policy 24above. The refurbished facilities will hardly be noticeable in context with the other existingfacilities which dominate the shore of the harbors and again, these are industrial nature workingwaterfront sites and the repair work is confined to the developed shorefront.

PolicL 44 - Preserve and Protect Tidal Wetlands - There is no tidal wetlands on this project site.While the terminal facilities abut dune and tidal wetlands vegetation areas, this project will have noadverse impact on wetlands vegetation which exists elsewhere in and beyond the harbor facilities.

SUMMARY

This project is to restore a longstanding ferry terminal bulkhead and to the ferry ramps andassociated intermodal transportation facilities gfor the US Department of Homeland Securityserving Plum Island.

Failure toprovide complete informatlon may result ln your applicatlon being declaredincomplete for processlng, thereby delaying proceasing ol your application.

GEN ERAL-APPLICABLE TO ALL PROJ ECTS

t. Explain the need for, and purpo* of, the proposed work.

The proposed project is to repair and restore a portion of the existing bulkhead facilities byinstalling new sheeting behind the existing deteriorated bulkhead and installing new rampfacilities at the ferry landing at the PIADC terminal on Orient Point. This is the ferry landing /transportation center of the Plum lsland Terminalfacilities at this site and its continued functionis vital to this essentialtransportation facility.

2. Provide the names and addresses of property owners adjacent to your work site(if not shown on the applicatlon lorm or proJect drawlngs).

The PIADC terminal at Plum lsland is wholly owned by the U.S. Govemment as are alllands along the Orient Point waterfront shown on the application drawings. Propertyowners adiacent to the work site are the Cross Sound Ferry to the east and Orient byThe Sea Marina to the West.

(Please note that depending upon the nature and ertent of your project, you maybe rcquested to provide the names and addresses of additlonal property ownersproximate to your project site to ensure proper coordination.)

3. Photographs of the project site should be submitted. For projects in tidal areas,.photographs ol the waterway vicinity should be taken at low tide. Using a separatecopy ol your plan view, indicate the locatlon and direction ol each photograph aswell as the date and tlme at which the photograph- waa taken. Provide a sufficientnumberof photographs so as to provide a clear understanding of conditions on andproximate to your proj*t stte, See attached.

4. Provide a copy of any envlronmental lmpact statement, or any otherenvlronmental report whlch was prepared for your proiect.

5. Provide a thorough dlecueelon ol alternatlves lo your proposal. Thie discussionshould include, but not necessarily be limited to, the "no action" alternative andalternative(s) resulting in less disturbance to waters ol the United States. For fillingProiects in waters ol the United States, including wetlands, your alternativesdiscusslon should demonstrate that there are no practicable alternatives to yourproposed filling and that your proiect meets with current mitigation policy (i.e-.avoidance, mi nimlzation and sompen?ation).

The environmental impact assessments, consistency of this proiect with the Town ofSouthold's LWRP and the NYS DEC Tidal Wetlands Regulations Section 661.5 through661.9 are all attached for this proiect including a thorough discussion of the altemativesconsidered. This bulkhead oversheeting is basically a maintenance project of existingfacilities and most of the ramp work is landward of thebukhead.

DREDCING PROJECTS

Answer the lollowing if your project involves drdging.1. tndlcate the estimated volume of material to be dredged and the depth (belowmean low water) to which dredging would occur. Would there be overdepthdredging?

There is no dredging associated with this project.

2. You can apply for a ten-year permit lor maintenance dredging. tf you wlsh to apptyfor a ten-year permit, please provlde the number ol addittonat dredging eventsduring the ten-year lite of the permit and the amount of material fo be removedduring future events. There is no dredging associated with this project

3. lndicate of your drawings the dewaterlng area (if applicable) and disposal site torthe dredged materlal (except landfill sites). Submit a sufticient number ofphotograPhs of the dewat*ing and. diepoeal sites as applicable so as to provide aclear indication ol existlng condltlons. For ten-year maintenance dredging permits,indicate the dewaterlngldisposal sites for future dredging events, if known. There isno dredging associated with this project

4. Describe the method ol dredging (i.e. clamshell, dragline, etc.) and the expectedduration of dredging, There is no dredging associated with this proiect

5. lndicate the phyetcal nature of the material lo be dredged (i.e. sand, silt; clay, etc.)and provide estlmated percentages of the various constituents if available. Forbeach nourishment pr$ects, grain size analysis data is required.

6. Describe the method ol dredged material containment (i.e. hay bales, embankment,bulkhead, etc.) and whether return flow from the dewateringldisposal site would reenterany waterway. Also lndicate lf there would be any barge overflow. There is no dredgingassociated with this project

MOONNG FAC'LITIES

Answer the following ff your pr$*t includes the construction or rehabilitatlon ofrecratlonal mooring facilltles.

1. lt is generally r*ommended that any fixed piers and walk ramps be limited to fourfeet in width, and that floats b*limitedlo etght feet in width and rest at leasttwo feetabove the waterway bottom at mean low water. Terminal floats at private, non-commercial facilities should be !!n!ted lo 29 f*t in length. lf you do not blieve yourproposal can meet with the* reaommendatlons, plea* provide the reason(s).

The existing ferry terminal bulkhead has existed at this site since the 1940's. When thiswas a military installation the ramps were gradually added as logistical needs of thePIADC facility developed. The new ramp facility will duplicate the existing ramp system inits current shape, configuration and width, associated counterweight support towers andprotective dolphins at the face of the ramp as well as lining the slip. The least costlymethod of restoring the bulkhead is to simply instal! new sheet behind the existing facilitiesand install the tie-backs. This bulkhead structure will not impinge on navigable waters orthe unencumbered use of the public trust waters of the state and town beyond the

. confines of the harbor.

2. Using your plan view, show lo scale the tocation(s), position(s) and size(s)(including length, beam and draft) of vessel(s,f to be moored at the proposed facility,including those of traneient veesel(s) if known.

Sii. For commerciat maring sites such as marinas, indicate the capacity ol the facilityand indicate on the plan view the location(s) ol any proposed fueling andlor sewagepumpout facilities. lf pumpout factllties are not planned, please discuss the rationalebelow and lndicate the dlstance to the neareat availabte pumpout statlon.

There are fueling and sewage pump-out facilities at the Plum lsland Terminal for the supportof the vessels.

tndlcate on yoir plan view the distance to adjaent marine structures, if any areproxlmate and show the locations and dlmensionsol such structures.

The otfsets to adjacent marine structures are shown on Sheet 1 of the application drawings. PIADCferries are the only vessels operating from the harbor facility. There are no operational conflictswith the Cross Sound Ferry or the "Orient By the Sea" marina to the south west.

Discuss the necd for wave prot*tion at the proposed facility, Please be advised thatila permit is issued, you would fu requiredto recognize that the mooring facility maybe subj*t to waveaction from wakesof passing vessels, whose operations would notbe required ta be modllied. lesuance of a permit would not relieve you of ensuring theintegrity ol the authorized structure(s) and the UnitedSlales would not be heldr*ponsible for damages to the structure(s) and vessel(s) moored thereto from wakesfrom passing yessels.

There is no overwhelming need for new wave protection at this proposed facility. The harborfaces south / southeasterly into adverse conditions. lt is rare that storm driven waves fromBlock lsland Sound or Gardiner's Bay have direct access into the harbor.

BU LKH ElADINGTBANK STAB// L'ANOMH LLING ACNVffIES

Answer the following if your proiect lncludes construction of bulkheading (also 'retaining walls and *awalte) with backfill, ltlling of watershvetlands, or any otherbank stabilization fills such as riprap, revetments, gabions, etc.

l. tndicate the total volume ol fitl (including backfill behind a structure such as abulWread) ae well as tlre volume ol llll to De placed into waters ol the UnitedStates, The amount ol ftll in waters ol the United States can be determined bycalculating the amount ol ftll to De placrd below the plane ol spring high tide intidal areas and below ordlnary high water in non4idal areas.

ln the location that the scour wall sheet piling was installed for the protection of theexisting terminal bulkhead facilities, it will be removed. The length of the new bulkheadstructure and the total volume of the back fill has been set forth on the drawings. Thebulkheading will be approximately 150 feet long and the backfill would be approximately500 CY over 500 (+/-) SF. The backfill witt be clean crushed stone or concrete or acombination of those rnaterials.

2. lndlcate the soure(s) and typ{s) of fltt material.

Concrete bitriminous concrete (pavement repair) wil! come from a commercial producer suchas Tilcon in Connecticut or Long lsland. Crushed stone or coarse bank run gravel would alsoprobably come from a Long lsland earthworks contractor such as Tilcon.

3. lndicate the method of fill placement (i.e. by han4 bulldozer, crane, etc.). Wouldany temporary fills be rquircd in waterways or wetlands to provide access forconstruction equipment? lf so, plase indlate the ara of sucfi waters and/or. wetlandato be filled, and show on the plan and s*tlonal views.

Fillfor behind the new bulkhead will be placed by using specialfunnel bucket or similar devicesand shielding to make sure that the concrete or crushed stone is all placed within the confines ofthe steel sheet pile scour wall bulkhead.

EFH ASSESSMENT WORKSIIEET FORF'EDERAL AGENCIES

(modified 08/04)

Introduction:

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act mandates that federal agenciesconduct an EFH consultation with NOAA Fisheries pgarding any of their actions'authorized, funded,or undertaken that may adversely effect essential fish habitat (EFH). An adverse effect means anyimpact that reduces the quality and/or quantity of EFII. Adverse effects may include direct or indirectphysical, chemical, or biological alterations of the waters or substrate and loss of, or injury to, benthicorganisms, prey species and their habitat, and other ecosystem components. Adverse effects to EFHmay result from actions occurring within EFH or outside of EFII and may include site-specific orhabitat-wide impacts, including individual, cumulative, or synergistic consequences of actions.

This worksheet has been designed to assist Federal agencies in determining whether an EFHconsultation is necessary, and developing the needed information should a consultation be required.This worksheet will lead you through a series of questions that will provide an initial screening todetermine if an EFH consultation is necessary, and help you assemble the needed information fordetermining the extent of the consultation required. The information provided in this worksheet mayalso be used to develop the required EFII Assessment.

Consultation through NOAA Fisheries regarding other NOAA-trust resources may also be necessary ifa proposed action results in adverse impacts. Part 6 of the worksheet is designed to help assess theeffects of the action on other NOAA-trust resources. This helps maintain efficiency in ourinteragency coordination process. kr addition, consultation with NOAA Fisheries may be required if a

proposed action impacts marine mammals or threatened and endangered species for which we areresponsible. Staff from our Northeast Regional Office, Protected Resources Division should becontacted regarding potential impactg to marine mammals or threatened and endangered species.

Instructions for Use:

An EFH Assessment must be submitted by a Federal agency to NOAA Fisheries as part of the EFHconsultation. An EFH Assessment must include the following information:1) A description of the proposed action.2) An analysis of the potential adverse effects of the action on EFH, and the managed species.

3) The Federal eS€rc]=g conclusions regarding the effects of the action on EFII.4) Proposed mitigation if applicable.

In some cases, this worksheet can be used as an EFII Assessment. H the Federal agency determines

that the action will not cause substantial impacts to EFH, then this worksheet may suffice. If the

action may cause substantial adverse effects on EFH, then a more thorough discussion of the acti91

and its impacts in a separate EFII Assessment will be necessary. The completed worksheet should be

ls the actioh located in or adlacent to EFH deeignated for epawning adults?

lf you answcred no to atl questions above, then EFH consultation is not required -go toSection 5. lf you answered yes to any of the above questions proceed to Section 2 andcomplete remainder of the worksheet.

Step 2, ln order to aseess impacte, it is crilical to tmow the habitat characteristics of the site before theactivity is undertaken. Use existing information, to the extent poesible, in anewering these questions.Please note that, there may be circumatanoes in which new information must be collected to appropriatelycharacterize the site and assess impac{s.

ls the site intertidal, sub-tidal, orwater column?

This project is to backsheet a long-standing steel bulkhead with woodpile fenders and construct a new ferry landing ramp facility. Theproiect will encompa$ palts of the shoreline, the intertidal zone andshallow subtidal zone approximately 0.1 acres in size. See attachednarratlve. The entlre site ls developed.

What arethe sedimentcharacteristics?

The existing subtidal sediments are coarss grained sand, gravel androcks of various sizes up to 6 inches diameter. There is a bulkheadseawall along the entire shoreline and the sediments beneath theshors landing are stone and boulderc.

ls Habitat Area of ParticularConcem (HAPC) designated ator near lhe site? lf so whattype, eize, characteristics?

This site is an existing developed shorefront and not HAPC. Thedune that boarders the cove to the east is eroding due to exposure tonormal tidal and climatic conditions, with light. Sporadic dunevegetative growth.

Is there submerged aquaticvegetation (SAU at or adjacentto project site? lf so deecribethe spatial extent.

There is no visible SAV in the shallow subtidal waters within the ferrybasin and there is no SAV detritus on the foreshore to indicateexigtence of SAV in the near shore waters. This project will not haveany adverse effect on SAV. The harbor structure is long-standing, asis the boat usage, which include vehicle and passenger ferries andpatrol boats.

What is.typical salinity andtemperature regimey'range?

Salinlty varies somewhat seasonally but is typically in the 25-30 ppt.Temperature variee seasonally from approximately 30 degrees in thewinter to 70 degrces in the aummer.

What ie the normal lrequency olsite disturbance, both naturaland man-made?

There is site disturbance per se, everyday attributable to the ferries.

\lVhat is the area of proposedimpact (work footprint & farafield)?

Approximately 1/10 acre will be directly impacted by this bulkheadovereheeting and ramp construction proiect.

Step 3. This section is used to describe the antlcipated impacts from the proposed action on thephysicaUchemical/biological environment at the proiect site and areas adjacent to the site that may beaffected.

Nature and duration ofactivity(s)

It is anticipated that the impacts from this project will besmall becauee of the limited naturc of the work which cantake place in as little as three months and is scheduled lorlall2Oll0rtvinter20ill. Boating activity is mostly Ferries whichrun all year.

Will benthic community bedisturbed?

x It is unlikely that shellfish flourish in this. area. Also, thebenthic community will be only marginally disturbed by themarine construction barge and push boat and propulsioneystems. No excavation or lilllng ie proposed and the docklacilfi will be repaircd or modified in place or behind. Newpiles ara less than 50 and will have limited impact.

Will SAV be impacted? x No SAV have been observed in the proiect ar6aa and noadverse impact to SAV is foreseen as.a result of this proiect.

Will sediments be altered and/orsedimentation rates change?

x Sedimentation rates in the shallow sub tidal zones will notchange as a rosuh of this project. The proiect is inimmediate proximity to and behind the existing bulkhead.

Will turbidity increase? x Turbidity, on a day to day basis, will not change significantlyfrom existing conditions. The ferries will continue to useboth sides of the harbor regularly.

Will water depth change? x No changee in water depth are proposed for constructionequipment acoess or for boating operations.

Will contaminants be releasedinto sediments or watercolumn?

x The llkelihood of contamination from this pier / dock / ferryramp neoonstruction will be minimal.

Will tidal flow, cunents or wavepattems be ahered?

x Tidal flow, currcnts or wave pattems wlll not change, the pier andfendere at€ an open, wood pile and tlmber dock facllity which willnot advergely afiact water flow and circulatlon.

Will ambient salinity ortemperature regime change?

x No changes to salinity or temperature of tidal waters willresuh from this proiect.

Will water quality be altered? x Water quallty ahould not change to a meaaurable extent as a resultof thls broFct beyond the bottom eedlment disturbances resultingfrom ferry operatlons.

Step 4. This section is used to evaluate the consequenoes ol the proposed action on the functions andvalues of EFH as wel! as ttre vulnerabillty of the EFH species and thcir lffe stages. ldentify which speciesfrom the EFH specles list (gcneratcd in Step 1) will be advereely impacted from the action. Assessment olEFH impacte should be baeed upon the eite characteristice identlfied in Step 2 and the nature of theimpacts described within Step 3. The Guide to EFH Deacriptions webpage(http:/luurvw.nero.noaa.gov/hcd/list.htm) should be uesd during this aesessment to determine the ecologicalparametere/preferences associated with each species listed and the potential lmpact to those parameters.

Will functions and values ofEFH be impacted for:

The aubtldal zonc and intertidal zone are curently eandy gravelstt€wn wlth gtonea and boulderc and wlll remain so without regard tothe prolect. No alteratlons of the benthos or undenrater habitat areproposed. The benthos ln thls case ig eeverrly stressad by daily ferryoporatlons and thls wlll not change as a result of this project.

The shallow subtldal zone and intertldal zone ls currently bouldersand sandy grave! and will tomain so. No alteratlons of the benthosor undermter habltat arc proposed. The benthos in this case iseeverely stt€ssed by ferry operations and thig wlll not change as areault ol this profect. The waterc arc severely agitated during ferryanlval and departure manewering.

The shallow subtlda! zone and lntertldal zone ar€ currently bouldersand sandy gravel and will rcmain so. No adverse impact toeubmerged aquatlc vegetation is antlclpated lf it does exlst in nearbywators. No SAV hag been observed during undenrater surveys orsubsoquent vlgits.

The shallow eubtidal zone and intertidal zone are. currently coarsegravel wlih shor€line stone and bouldenr and will remain so as arrsult of this proiect. No SAV has been observed during sitesurveys. The benthos ln this cage is severely stressed by ferryoperations and thlg will not change as a r€sult of this proiect.

Will impacte be temporary orpermanent?

It ls envlsloned that any lmpacE experienced as a result ol thisrcconstructaon propct will be temporary and not permanent. Thearca of coyerage ol the facllity is small compared to the area of thebagln and of no consequence compared to the overall coastalshorcline frlnge habitat and of Gardiner Bay.

No compensatory mitlgation is proposed for this proiect. Thisprolect ls only to replac6 an exlatlng bulkhead from behind andmodlfy a second farry landlng ramP adlacent to the existing rampfacllity and to the aame dimeneione.

Will compensatory mitigatlon beused?

Step 5. This section provides the Federal agency-s determination on the degree of impact to EFHfrom the propoeed action. The EFH determination also dlctates the type of EFH consultation that willbe rcquired with NOAA Fisheries.

Step 6. Consultation with NOAA Fisheries may also be required il the proposed action results inadverse impacts to other NOAA-trust resources, such as anadromous fish, shellfish, crustaceans, ortheir habitats. Some examples of other NOAA-trust t€sourcoa are listed betow. lnquiries regardingpotential impacts to marine mammals or thrcatened/endangered species should be directed to NOAAFisheries' Protected Resourcts Divieion.

Overall degree ofadverse effects on EFH(not includingcompensatorymitigationlwill be:

NARRATIVE STATEMENT AND ST'PPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

June 1r 2020

GE}IERAL DESCRIPTION

The Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) ferry terminal facilities are located on theeast end of Lnng Island's North Shore at Orient Point, Assessor Map 1000-132-l-30. Thewaterfront is approximately 1,250 feet of wharf and terminal ferry landing facilities, built originallyby the US Army in the early 1900's and later transferred to the Department of Agriculture. PlumIsland, and the PIADC, is now owned and operated by the United States Government's Departmentof Homeland Security. Plum Island is a secured Federal facility, on land owned entirely and solelyby the Federal Government. There are no public trust issues associated with this site. Public accessis prohibited and actively enforced by anned guards.

The PIADC Orient Point Harbor facilities are along the south shore. The terrain isgenerally flat in the area of the harbor infrastructure with gently sloped surrounding terrain andmostly paved over sandy gravel earthen material operational surfaces. built up landward of thebulkhead wharf facilities to support ferry operations of a semi-industrial transportation hub nature.The top elevation of the ground surfase behind the bulkhead in the project area is approximately 10feet and is at or above the Coastal Erosion line as typically applied to Town of Southold coastalsites. The Coastal Erosion limit line cuts across the entrance channel 300 feet east of the work areaand all aspects of this project are landward of it. The developed shoreline is industrial in nature,paved and substantially protected. This basin is "manmade"- there are no public frust issues at thissite. There is no tidal wetland vegetation on the bulkheaded work site and no submerged aquaticvegetation in the adjacent near shore waters.

This project is the restoration of existing facilities, the complete north section of the steelpile sheet bulkhead at both of the ramp landing facilities and the wood pile fenders and fixed woodpier repairs. The scope of work for this project will be undertaken in one construction contract.

One element of the work is to install a new steel sheet pile bulkhead immediately landwardof the existing bulkhead, along the basin walt immediately adjacent to the Plum Island ferry landingramp in the north side of the harbor. This bulkhead suffers from extensive corrosion and impendingmaterial failure. The tie-back system is also corroded and deteriorated and the sheets have been

damaged by the wear and tear of ferry operations loss of section and the relentless exposure tomarine waters. The new bulkhead will be set, landward of the existing steel sheet pile system

which will remain during consfiuction, but to act as toe stabilization of the new bulkhead. The

sheet piling will be backfilled with crushed stone so as to provide lateral stability to protect the

existing sheets from further surface erosion and oxidation. The warn out section of the existing

bulkhead, will be extracted. All of this work will be landward of the Spring High Tide

Line/Apparent High Water line.

The other related element of this project is to re-install a new, heavy duty vehicle ramps tothe east and west of the wood pier, relocating the west ramp 5 feet to the west at its currentelevation and raising the east ramp, in place, by 18 inches. This rarrp facility will be pile mountedto eliminate settlement due to heavy loads and will protrude to the same encroachment limits as

now exist

This supplemental narrative has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Stateand Federal permit agencies and the Town of Southold's Ordinance No. 6, 2004, and the LocalWaterfront Revitalization Program related to docks and shorefront improvements. This project siteis landward of the Coastal Erosion limit line. This project is a federal installation and exemptedfrom provisions of the NYS Coastal Management Act and is so listed in Appendix D. Pertinentfactors for consideration under Section 661 of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservationregulations for Tidal Wetlands and adjacent areari are addressed herein but the emphasis is thatneithet tidal weflands nor SAV exist in or immediately adjacent to the work site and no impact tothose resources, if they exist nearby, will result from the project. The proposed work falls withinthe scope of the US Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit No. 3.

PROJECT PURPOSE

This existing bulkhead system was installed approximately 40 years ago. The system hascorroded and deteriorated under climatic conditions and routine wear and tear and must be replacedin order to provide the PIADC facility with viable, sfiucturally sound vehicle and freight transferand supply to/from Plum Island for essential transportation of materials, equipment and personnelon a daily, all-weather basis.

ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS

The Federal Government owns Plum Island and this site in its entirety. The nearest adjacentproperty is the Cross Sound Ferry Terminal at Orient to the west and the restaurant and marina tothe west tip of Orient Point almost a mile to the west which is also owned by the FederalGovernment and utilized for the point of access for primary electrical and water service to PlumIsland.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Photographs of the project site, as released by the Department of Homeland Security, areattached herewith.

PROJECT ALTERNATTVES

There are only three real options to pursue at this time to maintain the operational efficiencyand capacity of the transportation system.


During the underwater diving visual inspection ten years ago, small isolated holes wereobserved in the steel sheeting near the point of embedment indication substantial loss of section and

structural stability. The exposed sheet at these holes were razor sharp, indicative of the loss of steel.2

The existing facilities have been burdened with vehicle loads beyond original expectations. The"do nothing" option is not considered viable or appropriate because the existing bulkhead is in such

condition that failure to repair and protect the stnrcture will necessitate the discontinuance of its use


The second option is very limited. The scour damage to the bul*head runs almost the fulllength of the steel sheeting. There is no good, cost effective method of repairing 4O-year-oldcorroded steel in an underwater marine exposure without driving new steel sheeting or pouring newconcrete. With that in mind, over sheeting becomes the mosieconomically feasible-option. Themajor draw back of this approach.is the constnrction of the basin which is already critically small.

The third option is complete replacement of the facilities. This would be the most costlyand would require the ferry operations to be out of only one slip for the longest period of time andfor both (easons, represents a hardship. Pursuing this course of action would, however, yield amore or less maintenance free operation for decades and not constrict future operations. The newramp structure will be mounted io as to avoid potentially damaging pavement surcharge loads tothe bulkhead backfill. The new bulkhead would have a tieback anchor system.

SEQITENCEOF WORK

As mentioned in the introductory para$aph, this project is to restore the bulkhead and feryramp landings at the Orient terminal of the Plum Island Animal Disease Center in accordance withguidelines set forth by the State of New York DEC and the Town of Southold ordinance No. 6200/.

REOI,IIREMENTS OF SECTION 97.25 OF TIIE WETLANDS LAW



The permittee gives consent to the State or Town and its officers, employees and agents toenter upon the premises where such operations are being conducted to make such inspections todetermine whether said operations are being conducted in conformity with the permit; such accessand inspections are governed by the operating nrles and regulations of the U.S. Department ofHomeland Security, PIADC.

The permittee will notify the Tnrstees in writing one week prior to initiation of any and alloperations, and likewise the NYS DEC on forms proviled in the permit.

The permittee will notify the Tmstees and State DEC in writing upon completion ofoperations such that the site can be inspected for issuance for a certificate of compliance.


1. Permits for the work are being applied for through the Town, USACE, The NYSDOS and NYS DEC. This projeit is exempted from a coastal zone consistencydetennination by the NYS DOS and this has been confirmed with the DOS. Thisproject is covered by the US ACOE Nationwide Permit No. 3.

2. Any facilities constructed of wood, will be of sturdy, durable and stable materials; inall likelihood, CCA pressure-Eeated Southern Yellow Pine or Greenheart piles, withone or multiple l" minimum diameter galvanized bolts per connection and wrappedwith galvanized cables, if required for clustered piles.

3. It is respectfully requested that the use of CCA pressure-treated piles (as an option toGreenheart piles) and timbers be approved for this project if Greenheart isunavailable or they are determined to be the most advantageous option to PIADC.

4. The lS-foot property line clearances specified in this paragraph are complied with.5. Upon receipt of the permit (if required) for this project, appropriate permit numbers

and / or certificates will be affixed to the most seaward face of the center dolphin foridentification from the water.

6. The ramps, decking and railing will be reinstalled. Area lights on the ramp facilitywill be moved to be clear of the tie-back anchors as will the elecrical service panel

and all utilities.7. There is no need to provide adequate room for a five-foot passage way on the

US Atmv Corps, of Eneinbers -This project is covered under Nationwide Permit #3 of the US Army Corps of Engineers for

repair and restoration of the bulkhead. It is anticipated thatWTT or 35 steel sheets will be used. Thebulkhead face to face separation would be 18 inches. If US PZ 35 steel sheets are not available, ArbedAZ 26 steel sheets will be used as a last resort; even set hard against the existing steel wale, thesesheets would create a?tl inch face to face separation. The new bulkhead cannot be driven outside theexisting bulkhead because of the already constricted vessel maneuvering space; which cannot bereduced further. Because of the 22-foot grade to bottom elevation difference, the existing wall cannotbe removed to allow "in place" replacement.

i\tYS DEC Tidal \iletlands Resulations - Sections 661.5 and 661.9

This project represents the replacement of existing, long-standing bulkhead and new ferrylanding facilities for Plum Island with no adverse environmental impacts and no furtherencroachment into tidal waters. This facility was most recently re-built in the early-1990's and hasbeen routinely maintained since that time.

There are ho tidal wetlands vegetation within several hundred feet of the site and no SAV inthe waters adjacent to the wall. A ferry landing on the waterfront is considered to be generallycompatible use in an adjacent area (AA) with a permit being required under Section 661.5 (b) (1), 15and 24. This project, however, is repair and restoration of existing facilities with no newencroachment.

Under Section 661.9, the standards for issuance of permits of NYS DEC regulations, thefollowing are considered to be pertinent considerations. The policies are created to preserve andprotect tidal weflands and prevent their despoliation and destruction and that regulated activities willnot have an undo adverse impact on the present or potential value of the nearby tidal wetlands.

This new ramp and bulkhead restoration project for the ferry terminal is compatible withpublic health and welfare policies of the State specifically referenced under Section 661.6.

and restoration of an existing, long-standing facility that has previously undergone review bythe Department in rendering previous permits. Furthermore, the project supports thecontinued operation of a long-standing, high-priority, secured Federal installation and thewaterfront ferry facility stnrcture is compatible with the use of the site, zoning and the long-standing use of the site.

COS€;

Policy 2 -Water Dependent Uses - This project is to retain a fully functional water dependent use

of a ferry terminal facility for an essential transportation to and from Plum Island. '

Poticy 5 - Use of Existing Developed Shorefront - This project will be primarily to repair and

restore existing shoie I ferry interface struchres, clear of sensitive habitat or tidal wetlands and

make them safe and reliably usable in all weattrer conditions, excluding coastal storms.

Policy 7 - Sienificant Fish & Wildlife Habitat - Protection of significant fish and wildlife habitathas been considered in the development of this project layout and the waters around Orient Pointare classified as essential fish habitat, however, the actual terminal is an industrial facility in a

man-made harbor, not representative of desirable natural habitat. In any case, these facilities willbe restored in kind.

Policy 8 - Protection & Preservation of Habitat - Protection and preservation of habitat has alsobeen considered in this project and the terminal facility is being kept to its minimal configurationconsistent with standards of the industry and reshictions set forth in the Wetlands Law, No. 6, 2004set forth by the Town of Southold. The ferries will operate at the same location and within thesame.footprint as the current operation. There af,e no significant changes to the dimension orconfiguration of the bulkhead and ramp facilities.

Policv 11 - Minimize Damase to Natural Resources - The bulk*read repair and restoration projecthas been laid out in the same footprint so as to be consistent with and so as to minimize impact tonatural resources as identified in Policy 7 above. There is no sensitive fringe wetlands growth andthere is no submerged aquatic vegetation in the sub-tidat zone where the work is to take place.

Policv 14 - No Measurable Increase in Floodine - This project consists of repairs of ferry terminalfacilities that will in no way adversely affect water flow and circulation in the harbors floodingpotential of the area. Flood levels all around Orient Point and Plum Island are dictated by waterlevels in Gardiners Bay, Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound and these structures will haveno adverse influence on those flood levels.

Policy 15 - No Dredeine - Dredging is not required in this project, however, backfill materialtrapped between the two bulkhead, which falls into the basin, during the extraction of the existingbulthead, will be dug out and incorporated in to the project scope of work. The waters in this smallman-made harbor is appreciably deeper offshore and the ferry arrival and departure maneuveringtends to keep the finer-grained sediments from accreting at the ramp landing sites of the proposedwork.

Policy 19 - ImBact on Public Access - There is no public access to or usage of lands at this site;

there is no intertidal zone. Thus, public access to the State's waters is not possible at Plum Islandbecause of the design of the ferry terminal facilities and site security requirements. Plum Island is asecured Federal research facility where recreation or unsecured public access is not allowed; access


Policy 20 - Public Trust Compatibitty with Existing Adjoining Properties and Land Uses- Public

Trust compatibility to existinf adjoining properties and land uses has also been considered but is

not relevant in this project.

Policy 21 - Water Dependent Recreation - This project is consistent with water-dependent uses

Policv 24 -,Scenic Resources. Impairurent or [,oss - This policy is intended to prevent impairmentor loss of scenic resources. The construction of the ramp facilities will not represent any new

encroachment or structure which would create a loss of scenic resources. The terminals are

industrial, working waterfront sites. The elevated northerly bulkhead section on will be only 18

inches to a couple of feet higher than the existing facility and will not even be noticeable from the

waters off-shore which are a minimum of a quarter- mile distant.

Policv 25 - Enhance Overall Scenic Ouality - The new ramp facilities will be consistent with thehistoric scenic quality of the area and prevent loss of scenic resources as described in Policy 24above. The refurbished facilities will hardly be noticeable in context with the other existingfacilities which dominate the shore of the harbors and again, these are industrial nature workingwaterfront sites and the repair work is confined to the developed shorefront.

Policy 44 - Preserve and Protect Tidal Wetlands - There is no tidal wetlands on this project site.While the terminal facilities abut dune and tidal wetlands vegetation areas, this project will have noadverse impact on wetlands vegetation which exists elsewhere in and beyond the harbor facilities.

PInT 2 . PROJECT IMPACTS AND THEIR MAGNITUDEResponelblllty of Lead Agency

General lnformatlon (Read Caretully)! ln completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations been

reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst.! The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the threshold of

magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and formost situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be appropriate for aPotential Large lmpact response, thus requiring evaluation in Part 3.

! The impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative and have beenoffered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question.

! The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question.! ln identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumulative effects.

lnstructions (Read caretully)a. Answer each of the 20 questions in PART 2. Answer Yes if there will be any impact.b. l{aybe answers should be considered asYes answers.c. lf answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box(column I or 2)to indicate the potential size of the impact. lf

impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. lf impact will occur but threshold is lower thanexample, check column 1.

d. ldentifying that an lmpact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily slgniflcant. Anylarge impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. ldentiffing an impact in column 2 simply asks that itbe looked at further.

e. lf reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3.f. lf a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) in the project to a small to moderate

impact, also check the Yes box in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possible. This must beexplained in Part 3.

Part 3 - EVALUATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF IMPACTS

Responsibility of Lead Agency

Part 3 must be prepared if one or more impact(s) is considered to be potentially large, even if the impact(s) maybe mitigated.

lnstructlons (lf you need more space, attach additionalsheets)

Discuss the following for each impact identified in Column 2 ol Pafi2:

1. Briefly describe the impact.

2. Describe (if applicable) how the impact could be mitigated or reduced to a small to moderate impact byproject change(s).

3. Based on the information available, decide if it is reasonable to conclude that this impact is important.

To answer the question of importance, consider:

! The probability of ihe impac't occuning! The duration of the impact! lts ineversibility, including permanently lost resources of value! Whether the impact can or will be controlled! The regional consequence of the impact! Its potential divergence ftom local needs and goals! Whether known obiectlons to the project relate to this impact.

EX'H ASSBSSMENT WORKSI{EET FORF'EDERAL AGENCIES

(moditied 0E/04)

Introduction:

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act mandates that federal agenciesconduct an EFH consultation with NOAA Fisheries regarding any of their actions'authorized, funded,or undertaken that may adversely effect essential fish habitat (EFH). An adverse effect means anyimpact that reduces the quality and/or quantity of EFII. Adverse effects may include direct or indirectphysical, chemical, or biological alterations of the waters or substrate and loss of, or injury to, benthicorganisms, prey species and their habitat, and other ecosystem components. Adverse effects to EFHmay result from actions occurring within EFH or outside of EFH and may include site-specific orhabitat-wide impacts, including individual, cumulative, or synergistic consequences of actions.

This worksheet has been designed to assist Federal agencies in deterrrining whether an EFHconsultation is necessary, and developing the needed information should a consultation be required.This worksheet will lead you through a series of questions that will provide an initial screening todetermine if an EFII consultation is necessary, and help you assemble the needed information fordetermining the extent of the consultation required. The information provided in this worksheet mayalso be used to develop the required BFII Assessment

Consultation through NOAA Fisheries regarding other NOAA-trust resources may also be necessary ifa proposed action results in adverse impacts. Part 6 of the worksheet is designed to help assess theeffects of the action on other NOAA-trust resources. This helps maintain efficiency in ourinteragency coordination process. In addition, consultation with NOAA Fisheries may be required if a

proposed action impacts marine mammals or threatened and endangered species for which we are

responsible. Staff from our Northeast Regional Office, Protected Resources Division should be

contacted regarding potential impacts to marine mammals or threatened and endangered species.

Instructions for Use:

An EFH Assessment must be submitted by a Federal agency to NOAA Fisheries as part of the EFH

consultation. An EFII Assessment must include the following information:1) A description of the proposed action.2) An analysis of the potential adverse effects of the action on EFH, and the managed species.

lj fne Federal agen"j,=s conclusions regarding the effects of the action on EFH.

4) Proposed mitigation if applicable.

In some cases, this worksheet can be used as an EFII Assessment. If the Federal agency determines

that the action will not cause substantial impacts to EFII, then this worksheet may suffice. If the

action may cause substantial adverse effects on EFII, then a more thorough discussion of the action

and its impacts in a separate EFH Assessment will be necessary. The completed worksheet should be

PROJECT NAitlE: Bulkhead and Ramp Restoration DATE: llay 29,2t12O

PROJECT NO.:_l 9-12-3073 LOCATION: Plum leland Ferry Termina!

PREPARER: Docko, lncorporated, Keith B. Neilson, P.E.

Step 1. Use the Habltat Conservation bivision EFH webpage, Guide to Essential Fish Habitat Designationsin the Northeastem United States to generate the list of designated EFH for fedefally-managed species forthe geographic area of interegt (http://hruyyv.nero.noaa.gov/hcd/lndePa.htm). Uso the species list as partof the initial screening procesa to detcrmine if EFH for those speciee occurs in the vicinity of the proposedaction. Attach that list to the worksheet because lt will be used in later steps. Make a preliminarydetermination on the need to conduct an EFH Consultation.

ls the action located in or adfacent to EFH designated for eggs?

!s the action located in or adiacent to EFH designated for larvae?

ls the action located in or adiacent to EFH designated for juveniles?

ls the action located in or adiaccnt to EFH designated for adults?

Is the action located in or adjacent to EFH designated for spawning adults?

lf you answcred no to all questions above, then EFH consultation is not required €o toSection 5. ll you answered ycs to any of the above questions proceed to Section 2 andcomplete remainder ol the worksheet.

Step 2. ln order to assess impacte, it is critical to know the habitat characteristics of the site before theactivity is undertaken. Use existing informatlon, to the extent possible, in answering these questions.Plcaee note that, there may be circumstancos in which new information must be collected to appropriatelycharacterize the site and assese impacts.

ls the site intertidal, subtidal, orwater column?

Thia project ie to backsheet a long-standing steel bulkhead with woodpile fenders and gonstruct a new ferry landing ramp facility. Theproject will encompass parts of the shoreline, the intertidal zone andshallow subtidal zono approximately 0.1 acres in size. See attachednarratlve. The entlrs siie is developed.

What are the sedimentcharacteristics?

The existing subtidal sediments are coarso grained sand, gravel androcks of various sizes up to 6 inches diameter. There is a bulkheadseawall along the entire shorcline and the sediments beneath theshotp landing are stone and boulders.

ls Habitat Area of ParticularConcern (HAPC) designated ator near lhe site? lf so whattype, eize, characteristics?

This slte is an existing developed shorefront and not HAPC. Thedunc that boarders the cove to the east is eroding due to exposure tonormal tidal and climatic conditlons, with light. Sporadic dunevegetativc arowth.

ls there submerged aquaticvegetation (SAV) at or adjacentto project site? lf so describethe spatlal extent.

Therc is no visible SAV in the shallow subtidal waters within the ferrybasin and there is no SAV detritus on the foreshore to indicateexistcnce of SAV ln the near shore waters. This project will not haveany adveree effect on SAV. The harbor structure is long-standing, asis the boat usage, which include vehicle and passenger ferries andpatrol boats.

What is typical salinity andtemperature regime/range?

Salinity varies somewhat seasonally but is typically in the 25-30 ppt.Temperature varies seasonally from approximately 30 degrees in thewinter to 70 degrees in the summer.

What is the normal lrequency ofsite disturbance, both naturaland man-made?

Theru is site dlsturbance per se, everyday attributable to the ferries.

What is the area of proposedimpact (work footprint & farafield)?

Approximately 1/10 acrc will be directly impacted by this bulkheadoversheeting ald ramp construction proiect.

Step 3. This section is used to describe the anticipated impacts from the proposed action on thephysical/chemicaUbiological environment at the project site and areas adiacsnt to the site that may beaffected.

Nature and duration ofactivity(s)

It is anticipated that the impacts from this project wil! besmall because of the limited naturc of the work which cantake place in as little a8 thr€e monthe and is scheduled forfal! 202l0tvinter2021. Boating activlty is mostly Ferries whichrun allyear.

Wlll benthic community bedisturbed?

x It is unlikely that shellfish flourish ln this area. Also, thebenthic community will be only marginally disturbed by themarine construction barge and push boat and propulsionsystems. No excavation or filling is proposed and the dockfacllity will be repaircd or modified in place or behind. Newpiles arc less than 50 and will have limited impact.

WillSAV be impacted? x No SAV have been observed in the project areaa and noadverse impact to SAV is foreseen as a result of this project.

Willsediments be altered and/orsedimentation rates change?

x Sedimentation rates in the shallow sub tidal zones will notchange as a resuh of this proiect. The proiect is inimmediate proxlmity to and behind the existing bulkhead.

Will turbidity increase? x Turbidity, on a day to day basis, will not change significantlyfrom existing conditions. The ferriee will continue to useboth sides of the harbor regularly.

Will water depth change? x No changes in water depth are proposed for constructionequipment acGess or for boating operations.

Will contaminante be releasedinto sediments or watercolumn?

x The likelihood of contamination from this pier/ dock/ferryremp reconstruction will be minimal.

Will tidal flow, currents or wavepattems be altered?

x Tidal ftow, curr€nts or wave patterns will not change, the pier andienders are an oPen, wood pile and tlmber dock facllity which willnot adveraely affect water flow and clrculatlon.

Will ambient salinity ortemperature regime change?

x No changes to salinity or temperature of tidal waters willresult from thie proiect.

Will water quality be altered? x Water quallty ahould not change to a measulable extent as a resultof thls itq*t bayond the bottom sediment digturbances resultingjfrom ferry oparatlons.

Step 4. This section is used to evaluate the consequencea of the proposed action on the functions andvalues of EFH as well as the vulnerabllity of the EFH species and their llle stages. ldentify which specieslrom the EFH speciee list (gcnerated in Step 1) will be adversely impacGd from the action. Assessment ofEFH impacts should be based upon the site characteristics identified in Step 2 and the nature of theimpacts described within Step g. The Guide to EFH Descriptions webpage(http:/lwww.nero.noaa.gov/hcd/list.htm) ehould be used during this aseessment to determine the ecologicalparameters/preferences associated with each species listed and the potential impact to those parameters.

Will functions and values ofEFH be impacted for:

The sub-tidal zone and intertidal zone are currently sandy gravelstf€wn wlth etones and boulders and wlll remain so without regard tothe proiect. No alteratlons of the benthc or underwater habitat areproposed. The benthos ln thls case is aeverely stressed by dally ferryoperatione and thia will not change ag a reault of this project.

The ehallow sub-tida! zone and lntertldal zone is currently bouldersand sandy gravel and wlll rcmain so. No alteratlons of the benthosor underrater habitat are proposed. The benthos in this case isseverely strassed by ferry operations and thie will not change as aresult of thls prolect. The waters are severcly agitated during ferryanlval and deparlure manewerlng.

The ghallow subtldal zone and lntertldal zone alu currently bouldersand sandy gravel and will remain so. No adverse impact toaubmerged aquatlc vegotation ls antlcipated lf it does exist in nearbywaters. No SAV has been observed durlng undervuater surveys orsubsequent vlslta.

The shallow sub-tidal zone and intertldal zone are currently coarsegrave! with shorelino atone and boulders and will remain so as arcsult of thle project. No SAV has been observed during sitesurvey3. The benthoa in this case is severcly stressed by ferryoperatlons and this will not change aa a tpault of lhls proiect.

Will impacts be temporary orpermanent?

h ls envicloned that any impacta experienced as a result of thisl€condructlon prolect wlll be. temporary and not permanent. Thearea of covelage of the facillty is small comparcd to the area of thebasin and ol no consaqucnce compared to the overall coastalghoroline frlnge habltat and of Gardiner Bay.

No compensatory mitigatlon is proposed for this project. Thisproiect is only to replaco an exlstlng bulkhead from behind andmoiity a gecond ferry landing ramp adiacent to the existing rampfucllityand to the same dimenslons.

Will compensatory mitigation beused?

Step 5. This section provides the Federal agency=s determination on the degree of impact to EFHfrom the proposed action. The EFH determination also dic'tates the type of EFH consultation that willbe required with NOAA Fisheries.

Step 6. Consultation with NOAA Fisheries may also be required if the proposed action resutts inadverse impacts to other NOAA-trust resources, euch as anadromous fish, shellflsh, crustaceans, ortheir habiiats. Some examples of other NOAA-trust rusouroea are listed below. lnquiries r"g"rdingpotential impacts to marine mammals or threatened/endangered species should be directed to NOAAFisheries' Protected Resources Division.
