While construction plans are considered part of the JCP application, we will request that the FDEP require these as part of their Notice to Proceed item list. Development of final plans and specifications is not included in this proposal. If CB&I's services are requested for these items, a separate work order will be proposed to the County. Aerials collected by the County in the summer of 2015 and the edge of hardbottom delineated based on interpretation of those aerials will be used to support the permit application. We will develop a draft construction schedule for the County's review for inclusion in the permit application. We will coordinate with local upland sand mines to obtain sufficient geotechnical information to support the JCP application. We will develop a Sediment QA/QC plan as necessary. We will describe the natural community within the project area based on the Environmental Assessment. We will develop Biological, Physical, and Mitigation Monitoring plans as necessary. No additional field work is proposed as part of this effort. i We will coordinate with the County and Ecological Associates regarding sea turtle nesting data and any wildlife surveys conducted on site. This data will be incorporated into the permit application. No additional field work is proposed as part of this effort. We anticipate that this project can be covered by the Statewide Programmatic Biological Opinion (SPBO). We will coordinate with USFWS regarding any additional information required to apply the Biological Opinion. The SPBO does not include consultation on piping plovers. Separate consultation on piping plovers may be required. It is anticipated that consultation with National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will be required in order to determine appropriate reasonable and prudent measures, terms and conditions and conservation measures for sea turtles, smalltooth sawfish, loggerhead critical habitat and listed coral species. We will explain how the project will affect the coastal system. It is envisioned that the Preliminary Project Design and Feasibility Report will provide much of the support for this portion of the permit application discussion. We will describe the envisioned construction methodology and how turbidity control measures will be instituted to minimize adverse effects to water quality. We will also explain methods to protect threatened and endangered species. The County will be responsible for the JCP application fee. This cost is not included in CB&I's cost for this work. We will follow guidance provided by the FDEP with respect to the filing convention and submittal requirements. We will follow-up with the FDEP to ensure receipt and distribution of the JCP application. We will also document the timeline for review and attempt to provide unofficial responses when and where possible to avoid Requests for Additional Information. 200
