He stressed that <br />the muck removal would be done with a suction dredge, and <br />that the proposed plan is in compliance with State and local <br />regulations.

He pointed out that the Project's environmental <br />impacts have been minimized since the original plans were <br />drawn; and noted that environmental experts helped design the <br />mitigation plans. <br />Discussion ensued on the precise location of the proposed muck <br />removal. <br />Attorney DeBraal addressed the Board's questions about the <br />mitigation project planned for Joe Earman Island. <br />Commissioner Solari commented on the significant decline of <br />the seagrass beds and the Lagoon since the Project's inception, <br />and suggested delaying the project until the seagrasses and <br />Lagoon are restored. He advocated to "Do No Harm." <br />Chairman O'Bryan stated that the Basin Management Action <br />Plan (BMAP) allocates credits for muck removal, and that the <br />seagrasses will benefit from cleaning up the turbidity in the <br />channel.
