To the south of the site, however, this portion of the <br />Indian River supports beds of manatee grass and oyster <br />shell -algal complex. During removal of the materials in the boat <br />basin and access channel, a turbidity screen will be used to <br />prevent an increase in the turbidity of the Indian River. The <br />turbidity screen will be maintained in place until the turbidity <br />levels in the basin have subsided to river background levels. <br />All materials removed from the basin and access channel will be <br />transported off-site. <br />14 <br />
