8. By this amendment 0003, the fourth paragraph of Section 35 20 23.10 18; 1.4 Monitoring Equipment has been revised to:

A self-contained "black box" unit must be installed on all container vessels, and must be capable of recording on a 24-hour basis, latitude and longitude positions of the container vessel, through DGPS technology, and container vessel draft, using a water pressure sensor, at variable sampling rates ranging from one position and draft value every 6 seconds to one position and draft value every ten minutes, according to NY District requirements. Container vessels used for transport of fine-grained, muddy dredged material to the HARS or Sand Borrow Area must include fore and aft draft sensors and fore and aft bin level sensors. Container vessels used to transport fine-grained, muddy dredged material to upland placement /treatment sites must include on bin level sensor, and one draft sensor.

10. By this amendment 0003 , the eighth paragraph of Section 35 20 23.10 18; 1.13 Placement of Dredged Material has been revised to:

All of the provisions, guidelines, requirements, and instructions (PGRIs)In this section of the contract specification must be completed/complied with before any dredged material may be placed at a designated ocean placement site.

Many of the PGRIs must be completed/complied with prior to the start of dredging. Any misplaced (e.g. mis-dumped, short-dumped)dredged material deemed to constitute a potential hazard to navigation by the Corps will be the sole liability of the contractor to remove, as directed by the Corps. This would include, for example, placement of dredged material in a navigation channel that results in a mound or causes an area of shallower water within the channel; or any dredged material placed above a permitted depth associated with the HARS or Sand Borrow Area.

The contractor will assume all expenses and liabilities associated with creating mounds of dredged material above a permitted depth at an artificial reef site, HARS or Sand Borrow Area and expenses and liabilities associated with bringing such mounds below permitted depths.

11. By this amendment 0003 , the first paragraph of Section 35 20 23.10 18; 1.14 Ocean Placement Locations for HARS Suitable Material has been revised to:

The Government has identified the Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS) or Sand Borrow Area for placement of dredged material, approved for ocean disposal, removed under this contract. However, barges that contain less than 25% non-rock material (i.e., vessels which contain 75% or more rock material) should not be transported to the HARS or Sand Borrow Area unless approved by NY District, U.S.E.P.A., and any regulating agency (Non-rock material is defined as material that is less than 2.5 inches in diameter.)

12. By this amendment 0003 , the second through the fourth paragraph of Section 35 20 23.10 18; 1.15 Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS) have been revised to:

The contractor shall perform dredged material placement at specific locations within the HARS or Sand Borrow Area. Details of the placement location within the HARS or Sand Borrow Area, for HARS-suitable dredged material, will be provided at the DMTPM. Dredged material placement must not occur anywhere outside of the HARS or Sand Borrow Area, in HARS buffer zones, in shipwreck buffer zones, in the HARS "No Discharge Zone", or in any other area of the HARS or Sand Borrow Area determined by NY District to be off-limits for dredged material placement. Details of HARS or Sand Borrow Area placement will be provided to the contractor at the

DMTPM.

The contractor will also use exact placement criteria set by the New York District Corps of Engineers. All placement of dredged material within the HARS or Sand Borrow Area will occur in strict accordance with the placement requirements and locations given at the DMTPM, and any future updates when provided by USACE.

All non-rock material approved for ocean disposal, excluding floating debris and trash, shall be transported to the HARS or Sand Borrow Area, unless otherwise directed.

13. By this amendment 0003, the fourth paragraph of Section 35 20 23.10 18; 1.16 General Requirements; ALL

PLACEMENT ACTIVITIES MUST BE RECORDED, AND REQUIREMENTS ADHERED TO, AS SPECIFIED

DMI must submit reports of all placement activities authorized by this contract on the basis of one report for each container vessel of dredged material within two (2) hours after each placement event at the HARS or Sand Borrow Area.

14. By this amendment 0003 , the first paragraph of Section 35 20 23.10 18; 1.17 Placement of Dredged Material Suitable for Ocean Disposal, General has been revised to:

The transport vessel captain and the DMI must jointly determine and agree, prior to the departure of the transport vessel from the dredging site, that the forecasted weather and sea conditions at the expected time of placement of dredged material within the HARS or Sand Borrow Area will:

15. By this amendment 0003, paragraph d. of Section 35 20 23.10 18; 1.18 Protocol for Placement of Dredged Material at Open Water Sites has been revised to:

d. After ensuring that all inspections have been performed at the dredging site, and compliance with all provisions and requirements associated with container vessel loading and use has been met, container vessels must be brought to the designated grid cell, or coordinates, of the HARS, or other designated placement location, using the DGPS navigation systems of the transport vessel and the container vessel monitoring software onboard the transport vessel.

Placement in the appropriate location and container vessel draft immediately prior to container vessel door opening, must be documented by the DMI using the container vessel monitoring software while the container vessel position and draft information are monitored automatically by the container vessel monitoring system. Container vessels should be towed no faster than 2 knots, unless weather/sea conditions require higher speed to maintain safe and reliable navigation. Lengths of towlines should be no longer than 200 feet, unless weather/sea conditions require longer tow lengths to maintain safe and reliable navigation. Regardless of the conditions at the time of placement, tow lines must not be longer than 500 feet at the time of placement. DMI must measure the distance from the transport vessel to the container vessel at the time of placement using the hand-held laser range finder and record the value on the TPL form. During each trip to the HARS or Sand Borrow Area, the dredged material contained in a container vessel must be able to be placed (initiation of placement) within individual grid cells as small as 100 feet wide and 100 feet long. Dredged material must never be placed outside of designated grid areas of the HARS or Sand Borrow Area.

16. By this amendment 0003, first paragraph within paragraph l. of Section 35 20 23.10 18; 1.18 Protocol for Placement of Dredged Material at Open Water Sites has been revised to:

l. To help ensure that dredged material is transported and placed at the HARS or Sand Borrow Area in accordance with the requirements described above, the following checklist has been prepared. Items in the checklist must be reviewed by the DMI at the dredging site, while underway, and at the HARS or Sand Borrow Area. Any item on the checklist that receives a "NO" answer must be reported immediately to the Notification List. If the "NO" answer is related to the container vessel monitoring equipment and/or software, the DMMESC must also be notified immediately. These discrepancies must be noted on the TPLF associated with the trip using the letter-number code associated with each item. Each placement trip to the HARS or Sand Borrow Area must use a checklist, to be completed by the DMI working aboard the transport vessel, using the container vessel monitoring software or by hand. A supplemental report must be filed and faxed to NY District at (212) 264-1463 if space on the TPLF is not sufficient to explain the discrepancy. Checklist copies must be signed and dated by the DMI and placed in a file. All original, signed checklists associated with this project must be submitted to the NY District on a weekly basis for the duration of the project. Checklists must be hand delivered or mailed to:
