r too 48 PAF 708 JAN 27 1982 Mr. Beindorf answered auestion Mr. Jones had asked about t how much fuel spill would there have to be; with the statement if a boat was being fueled completely over ran, or a pump misfunctioned, the DER had no particular program, the developer would have to have his own program set up for fires. A floating tank with a curtain you could spread out quickly to isolate a spill or fire. The air bubble Dr. Christiansen had come up with was mentioned. Mr. Beindorf said he was pointing all this out to the Board; along with the 4-5 meetings held with the staff; engineer. They had indicated much of the information they were asking for was beyond the site plan approval scope; due to it taking a great deal of detail going into model studies and such. He again reiterated the DER would not approve their permit without local satisfication. Mr. Jones asked the nature of the site to be dredged. Mr. Beindorf stated the area to be excavated would be less than the 8 acres, approximately 150-200,000 cubic yards. In all probability it would be done with pans and draglines because it can be done without the connection being connected to the river. There would be no damage of silting to the river. The fill would go on the other part of River Bend. He said he wasn't aware of having to get permits to take fill from one area of your property, over to the other. Mr. Jim Thomas wanted to bring out several points that he was concerned with at the very beginning. Erosion Control - on Jungle Trail (western side) there is a real erosion problem there now, its actually eating into the road itself. They propose a fringe of mangroves, a minimum of 20 feet. They realized they would have a high energy problem there with waste from boats crashing into the shore and what he proposed was a series of wooden boxes, terraced, that the man- groves would be planted in. The wood would be untreated, and would give the mangroves a couple of years to get established and would eventually decay and the mangroves would be established and hold that bank. In front of that, 8 feet out, we propose a wooden backhold that would absorb the energy from that waste, giving the mangroves a chance to establish. Inside the marina, Mr. Thomas said along the whole edge there would be a sloping bank (shallow) and he proposed to plant a 12 foot edge of Spartana, a very productive grass that grows quickly, and holds firmly, and is used for marine purposes and gives a very ecological value to the equisetum for'.years to come.
