WETLANDS LICENSE NO. 23-1046

U.S. DEPT OF NAVY–NAVAL SUPPPORT ACTIVITY ANNAPOLIS –

ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION

The Maryland Board of Public Works authorizes you to:

I. Construct a new 604-foot long by 4-foot wide utility bridge with two expansion loops, each consisting of a 570 sf platform with a 22-foot long by 6-foot wide walkway, with an elevation of 14.16 feet above MHW long by 12-foot wide area to a depth of 7.5 feet at mean low water. Work will be done from land and water, with 3,820 square feet of structure passing over tidal wetlands.

II. After construction is completed, existing bridge will be demolished and associated pilings will be cut 2 feet below the mudline.

College Creek, Northeast of King George St., Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland

Issuance of this Tidal Wetlands License constitutes the State’s determination that the authorized activities are consistent with the Maryland Coastal Zone Management Program (CZMP), as required by Section 307 of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended [16 U.S.C. §1456]. Accordingly, the State concurs with the Licensee’s certification in the Joint Permit Application that the project complies with and will be conducted in a manner consistent with the Maryland CZMP.

THIS LICENSE AUTHORIZES YOU TO PERFORM THE WORK ONLY IF YOU

COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL CONDITION(S):

A. The Licensee shall not perform any in-stream work from March 1st to June 15th of any year due to protect spawning fish.

B. Demolish the existing bridge after the new bridge is constructed with existing in-water foundations cut 2 feet below the mud line. All bridge removal should be completed within 6 months of the new bridge completion.

C. Incorporate the following mitigative measures to minimize impacts associated with underwater noise generated during pile installation:

a. Use a vibratory hammer to install piles, to the extent practicable. This could include driving piles via vibratory hammer until refusal and then employing an impact hammer to reach target depths/elevations;

b. Employ cushion blocks during impact hammer operations to limit underwater noise;

c. When employing an impact hammer, use a soft start each day of pile driving, after a break of 30 minutes or more, and if any increase in pile installation or removal intensity is required. Build up power slowly from a low energy start-up over a 20- minute period to warn fish to leave the vicinity. This buildup shall occur in uniform stages to provide a constant increase in output.
