This amendment modifies a solicitation for the Fishing Creek South Jetty Rehabilitation and Maintenance Dredging project in Calvert County, Maryland. The scope of work includes rehabilitating approximately 1,000 feet of the southern jetty at Fishing Creek to a height of 6 feet below the mean lower low water line using 1.5 to 3 ton capstone. A 75 foot wide by 10 foot deep access channel will also be dredged to allow construction access since no land access currently exists at the jetty. Approximately 22,000 cubic yards of material will be hydraulically dredged from the Fishing Creek federal navigation channel and piped to an existing nearby upland placement site along with dredged material from the access channel. The three existing weir boxes at the placement site will also be replaced. The bid due date is extended to July 19th, 2022 and an updated water quality certification is provided.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE (SF 30)

The following have been added by full text:

ADDITIONAL RFI & RESPONSE

Question: Are we still supposed to follow the directions in Amendment 0004 Response 04 which states “Only the Time of Year Restrictions in Section 35 20 23 Paragraph 1.2 of the specifications are to be followed for this project.

All other conditions of the WQC are to be followed aside from the Time of Year Restrictions.” The new WQC still puts restrictions on the navigation channel dredging that the specifications do not.

Response: In the revised WQC issued in the previous amendment (AMD 0006), there was an error. Special Condition 0003 contradicts Special Condition 0002. This will be rectified in a newly updated WQC. The newly updated WQC will align with the specification ToY restrictions, keeping only one set of dates for contractors to follow. This will allow contractors to follow the specification ToY restrictions and still be in line with the WQC.

ISSUED TO:

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Baltimore District US Army Corps of Engineers Navigation Branch 2 Hopkins Plaza Baltimore, Maryland, 21203 Attn:

June 29, 2022

PROJECT LOCATION: Fishing Creek Federal Navigation Channel Chesapeake Beach, Calvert County, Maryland

DESCRIPTION OF CERTIFIED PROJECT: To hydraulically dredge the Fishing Creek Federal navigation channel to its authorized depth of 7 feet MLLW (plus at least one foot of overdepth) for a width of 100 feet, and to dredge a 75-foot long by 10-foot deep access channel parallel to the existing jetty, resulting in approximately 22,000 cubic yards of material consisting of clay, mud, sand, silt, and shell. Dredged material is proposed to be hydraulically pumped to a nearby existing upland placement site. The work also includes the rehabilitation of the southern jetty along Fishing Creek by placing 1.5 to 3 ton capstone to restore the jetty elevation 2.7 feet higher than originally constructed to reduce overtopping, and increase the jetty crest width to 16 feet.

22-WQC-0013 was issued on June 9, 2022 certifying the activity described above. Additional information was subsequently received from Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which included updated time-of-year restrictions in consideration of the existing environment surrounding the proposed work. As a result, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Baltimore District Navigation provided Maryland with the opportunity to revise or reconsider the June 9, 2022 WQC decision. Maryland is hereby certifying the proposed work subject to the time-of-year restrictions recommended by DNR to ensure that the activity does not result in adverse impacts to water quality or designated uses.

in a manner which will prevent their entry into Waters of the U.S. and State.

6. This Certification does not authorize any injury to private property, any invasion of rights, or any infringement of federal, state, or local laws or regulations.

7. The Certification Holder shall allow authorized representatives of the Department access to the site of authorized activities during normal business hours to conduct inspections and evaluations of the operations and records necessary to assure compliance with this Certification.

8. No stockpiles of any material shall be placed in Waters of the U.S. or state or private tidal wetlands.

9. This Certification is valid for the project identified herein and the associated federally-approved U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works Navigation Branch project, until such time that federal approval expires or is not administratively extended.

STATEMENTS OF NECESSITY AND CITATIONS

1. Statement of Necessity for Special Condition 1: A time of year restriction is necessary to maintain the designated use for support of estuarine and marine aquatic life and shellfish harvesting. Oysters spawn and subsequently set their spat during the period June through September in estuarine sections of rivers and the Bay. During this period, dredge units can entrain and destroy oyster eggs and larvae. In addition, sediments resuspended by dredging activities may affect oysters. Potentially, larval oysters could be starved by ingesting sediment particles which are the same size as prey organisms. Larval oysters could also delay metamorphosis to spat because the substrate is covered with loose sediments and is therefore unsuitable. Oysters also become inactive during the colder months of the year and are more liable to burial (inability to clear themselves of deposited sediment) during this period of reduced activity.

Citation: Federal and state laws which authorize this condition include but are not limited to: COMAR: 26.08.02.02B(1)(d); 26.08.02.02B(3); COMAR 26.08.02.02-1

2. Statement of Necessity for Special Condition 2: A time of year restriction is necessary to allow for wintering waterfowl to move from breeding areas to seasonally use suitable winter habitat. Breeding and wintering habitat are both essential to support waterfowl populations. Breeding habitat would not sustain waterfowl during winter. Disturbance during the closure period would interfere directly or indirectly with designated uses for growth and propagation of wildlife.

3. Statement of Necessity for Special Condition 3: Activities which result or may result in a discharge to regulated waters, including dredging and dredged material placement may require monitoring to ensure that water quality standards are met and designated uses are maintained, and to determine if remedial measures are needed to restore compliance with water quality standards if they are not met as a result of the discharge. The condition is necessary to ensure that dredged material does not increase turbidity in violation of general and numeric water quality standards and interfere with designated uses and to ensure that offsets to regulated waters are successfully implemented.

4. Statement of Necessity for Special Condition 4: The limits on the scope of maintenance dredging are necessary to ensure that no discharges would violate water quality standards and designated uses for water clarify, turbidity, growth and propagation of fish, other aquatic life, and wildlife; and water contact recreation

Citations: COMAR 26.08.02.02B(1)(d); COMAR 26.08.02.02B(3); COMAR 26.08.02.03B

5. Statement of Necessity for Special Condition 5 : The condition is necessary to ensure that discharges associated with dredging result in water depths which are appropriate to support designated uses of fishing and water contact recreation and propagation of fish, other aquatic life and wildlife; and ensure that no discharges are unsightly, create a nuisance, change to an objectionable color or interferes with designated uses.

6. Statement of Necessity for Special Condition 6: Expertise for conducting certain activities is required to ensure that there is no violation of water quality standards nor interference with designated uses. This condition is necessary to ensure that discharges will be conducted in a manner which does not violate water quality criteria nor interfere with designated uses.

8. Statement of Necessity for Special Condition 8, 9 & General Condition 5, 8: Fill or construction material within or adjacent to regulated resources may cause discharges resulting in turbidity in excess of water quality standards and interfere with designated uses of growth and propagation of fish, other aquatic life, wildlife; and other designated uses;

and fail to meet general water quality criteria that waters not be polluted by substances in amounts sufficient to be unsightly or create a nuisance.

9. Statement of Necessity for Special Condition 9: Erosion and sediment control plans are necessary to ensure that sediment discharges from construction activities will not enter waters of the United States. Sediment discharges from earth disturbance or discharges at erosive rates within or adjacent to regulated resources may cause discharges resulting in turbidity in excess of water quality standards and interfere with designated uses of growth and propagation of fish, other aquatic life, wildlife; and other designated uses; and fail to meet general water quality criteria that waters not be polluted by substances in amounts sufficient to be unsightly or create a nuisance

Citation: Env. Article, Title 4, Subtitle 1 COMAR 26.17.01; 26.08.02.03B(1)-B(2)

10. Statement of Necessity for Special Condition 10: The condition is necessary to ensure that water quality standards are met under unique circumstances for inadvertent discharges and that designated uses of waters are maintained.
