b) C) A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK 1. Operations are to be limited to daylight hours. 2. Operations are to be staged from an upland area. 3. All work is to be performed in a manner that avoids and/or minimizes impacts to live bottom and other resource areas (e.g., seagrass beds, oyster beds, wetlands, mangroves, and other sensitive habitats) while approaching, working in, and leaving the derelict vessel site. 4. All work shall avoid impacts to manatees, sea turtles, and other species listed by the state and federal government as threatened or protected. 5. The Contractor will remove all contaminants and pollutants including fuels, batteries, paints, solvents, black/grey water, and engines from the derelict or otherwise authorized vessel prior to or immediately after vessel extraction from the water, whichever option is best to prevent environmental impacts. Any contaminant or pollutant found to be contained within a derelict or other authorized vessel as well as the used absorbent matts/socks shall be removed by the Contractor, placed in an approved container, and disposed of properly. The placement of an absorbent matt/socks on the surface of the water within the turbidity barrier around the derelict or other authorized vessel is required where free floating product (gas/oil) is observed and under vessels placed on land. 6. The Contractor is to provide appropriate BMPs approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for erosion control and turbidity protection while each derelict vessel is being removed. In areas of low to moderate currents, a Type II floating turbidity barrier will be installed within a ten (10) foot radius of the vessel being removed prior to starting any removal activities. The turbidity barrier shall be anchored to the bottom of the waterway. 7. The Contractor is to provide appropriate BMPs for erosion control and turbidity prevention around the vessels/barges being used to remove the derelict vessel and around the perimeter of any upland staging site where necessary. 8. The Contractor is to monitor turbidity levels throughout removal work. 9. In an effort to reduce turbidity, a crane, winch and/or approved alternate method is to be used to raise the derelict or other authorized vessel from the water if available. 10. The Contractor will assess turbidity levels and allow them to return to an acceptable level similar to pre -project condition prior to removal of turbidity measures. 11. The dragging of vessels is to be avoided both on and off -shore. All vessels/barges used in vessel removal shall continually monitor water depths to avoid running aground. 12. The Contractor will load derelict vessels onto a barge and/or flatbed truck (or similar) for proper disposal. 13. The Contractor is to photo -document all removals as described in SOW Section 6 with pictures taken before, during and after removal. The Contractor will provide a monthly written report of all removal activities. For Derelict Vessels That Are Floating or Lightly Aground: 1. The vessel is to be pumped out as needed and extracted (floated out) during high water. 2. Following extraction, the vessel is to be towed from the grounded location to a boat ramp or other removal point while avoiding and/or minimizing impacts to live bottom areas. For Derelict Vessels That Are Hard Aground: 1. The vessel is to be approached using shallow draft vessels. 2. The vessel is to be extracted using a crane from a shallow draft deck barge, by hand using the best available tools, or similar approach to minimize impacts to the site and surrounding areas.
