submerged. The pipeline will not be laid on the shoreline. The
duration of in-water work is approximately 2 months. The
proposed dredge cycle involves a one -time maintenance dredge of
approximately 49,990 cubic yards of accreted sand, shell and
sediment from the Wiggins Pass channel. The primary spoil site
for beach compatible material (average silt content of 3o), is
within a 17.72 acre near shore spoil area adjacent to Barefoot
Beach to the north of the pass between markers R -11.4 and R-
14.2. In -water construction is estimated to be approximately 2
weeks in duration. There are no proposed impacts to wetlands,
mangroves or submerged aquatic vegetation.
You are authorized to conduct dredging and near shore sand
placement activities on a 24 hour per day, 7 day per week

SEA TURTLE AND SMALLTOOTH SAWFISH CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONS
The permittee shall comply with the following protected species construction conditions:
a. The permittee shall instruct all personnel associated with the project of the potential presence of
these species and the need to avoid collisions with sea turtles and smalltooth sawfish. All
construction personnel are responsible for observing water - related activities for the presence of
these species.
b. The permittee shall advise all construction personnel that there are civil and criminal penalties for
harming, harassing, or killing sea turtles or smalltooth sawfish, which are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973.
c. Siltation barriers shall be made of material in which a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish cannot
become entangled, be properly secured, and be regularly monitored to avoid protected species
entrapment. Barriers may not block sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish entry to or exit from
designated critical habitat without prior agreement from the National Marine Fisheries Service's
Protected Resources Division, St. Petersburg, Florida.
d. All vessels associated with the construction project shall operate at "no wake /idle" speeds at all
times while in the construction area and while in water depths where the draft of the vessel
provides less than a four -foot clearance from the bottom. All vessels will preferentially follow
deep -water routes (e.g., marked channels) whenever possible.
e. If a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish is seen within 100 yards of the active daily
construction/dredging operation or vessel movement, all appropriate precautions shall be
implemented to ensure its protection. These precautions shall include cessation of operation of
any moving equipment closer than 50 feet of a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish. Operation of any
mechanical construction equipment shall cease immediately if a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish is
seen within a 50-ft radius of the equipment. Activities may not resume until the protected species
has departed the project area of its own volition.
f. Any collision with and /or injury to a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish shall be reported
immediately to the National Marine Fisheries Service's Protected Resources Division (727 -824-
5312) and the local authorized sea turtle stranding /rescue organization.
g. Any special construction conditions, required of your specific project, outside these general
conditions, if applicable, will be addressed in the primary consultation.

Department. if subsequent to approval of the Monitoring Plan there is a request for
modification of the permit, the Department may require revised or additional monitoring
requirements as a condition of approval of the permit modification.
The monitoring program shall generally include the following:
a. Topographic and bathymetric profile surveys of the beach and offshore shall be
conducted within 90 days prior to commencement of construction, and within 60
days following completion of construction of the project. Thereafter, monitoring
surveys shall be conducted annually for a period of three (3) years. The
monitoring surveys shall be conducted during a spring or summer month and
repeated as close as practicable during that same month of the year. If the time
period between the immediate post - construction survey and the first annual
monitoring survey is less than six months, then the Permittee may request a
postponement of the first monitoring survey until the following spring/summer.
The request should be submitted as part of the cover letter for the post -
construction report.
The monitoring area shall include profile surveys at each of the Department of
Environmental Protection's DNR reference monuments R -10 through R -22. The
MHW shoreline north of R -17 at the west comer and the interior of Delnor-
Wiggins Park will be surveyed to validate and supplement the shoreline identified
from aerial photos of the area. The MHW survey will extend from R -17
