4. Landscaping Mitigation Plan - Oyster Fishing Pier.pdf

This is a mitigation plan drawing submitted as part of a Joint Permit Application for the Oyster Fishing Pier project located at 21209 Crumb Hill Road in Oyster, Virginia. The plan details the construction of a fishing pier with associated environmental impacts and mitigation measures, including a 100' RPA buffer zone, work paths, and specific planting requirements. The drawing shows various project components including a wood dock, concrete boat ramp, laydown area of 525 sq ft, work path of 428 sq ft, and impacts to spartina marsh and intertidal shading areas of 78 sq ft and 325 sq ft respectively.

The mitigation planting plan specifies 953 sq ft of plantings at a ratio of 2.4 units per 400 sq ft, resulting in 3 total units. The planting scheme includes 3 canopy trees, 6 understory trees, and 9 shrubs consisting of Hackberry, Sweetbay Magnolia, and High Tide Bush species. All plantings must be native species within the 100' buffer zone, with any variations requiring county approval. The drawing indicates the project site is located along a navigation channel in Oyster Harbor, with the distance across the waterway being approximately 500 feet.
