SAJOD-RP-C <br />owl <br />DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY <br />JACKSONVILLE DISTRICT. CORPS OF ENGINEERS <br />P. 0. BOX 4970 <br />JACKSONVILLE. FLORIDA 32201 <br />STATEMENT OF FINDINGS <br />on <br />Permit Application No. 76N-1351 <br />Name of Applicant: <br />Date of Application: <br />Date of Public Notice: <br />Authority: <br />11 May 1977 <br />Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br />13 December 1976 <br />7 January 1977 <br />Sections 10 and 404 <br />1. Work: To construct a boat ramp with two appurtenant piers and a <br />riprap groin and to excavate .in vicinity of proposed boat ramp. <br />2. Original plan, as described in public notice, was for construction <br />of a vertical seawall type groin and extensive excavation and dredging <br />that would have removed part of a productive wetland. <br />3. F&WS, by letter dated 18 January 1977, objected to the original <br />proposal and work was subsequently revised as above. By letter dated <br />4 April 1977, F&WS stated that as a result of the changes they no <br />longer objected to the proposed work. <br />4. Except for the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, which <br />essentially had the same objections as F&WS, no other objections were <br />received in response to the public notice. <br />5. DER Permit/Certification No. 31-38-0414-4E was issued on 28 April <br />1977. <br />6. Since there are extensive grassbeds in the area (primarily <br />Thallasia testudinum, but also patches of Halodule wrightii and <br />Syringodium filiform) F&WS is still concerned about the impact boating <br />would have on this resource. Mr. Tommy Thomas (agent for applicant) <br />told the project manager that he is agreeable to F&WS's suggestion to <br />place channel markers from boat ramp to IWW in order to minimize <br />destruction of grassbeds. <br />1ry1 8 <br />
