8. Environmental concerns and mitigations:

· Steel wreckage that is cut at the mudline by the divers will be disposed of in a commercial dumpster being rented by the salvage company. Salvage company will be solely responsible for proper disposal of cut ATON markers and will ensure steel wreckage cut is not left on the seafloor.

· Steel wreckage cut is approximately 8’ in length from the mudline to the waterline, + or – 2’. The stumps or steel wreckage that will be cut are small enough to fit in the dive boat or be properly towed by the boat being used by the salvage/dive company.

· Dive company will not be using a barge or vessel that needs to spud down and disturb the seafloor.
