Furthermore, in order to protect the exposed <br /> and/or Ephemeral Hardbottom features, any anchoring must be made utilizing floating <br /> polypropylene mooring lines of sufficient length and strength, and in such a manner to <br /> entirely eliminate any contact between the mooring lines and the exposed and/or <br /> Ephemeral Hardbottom. <br /> All cable shall be kept in good condition at all times during vessel operations, including <br /> transiting and particularly during approach to and operation within the Mitigation Area. <br /> Any and all breaks and other damage of any nature whatsoever shall be promptly repaired <br /> to avoid vessel and/or equipment drift and subsequent potential damage to adjacent <br /> resources, endangered species, or fiber optic cables. Adequate floating cable scope shall <br /> be provided to allow maneuverability in the work area, and all cable shall be of the type <br /> that will float unaided and shall be capable of withstanding the forces of the sea- states to <br /> which they shall be exposed during approach, staging, placement and transiting as <br /> deemed necessary by CONTRACTOR to ensure safe and efficient operations." to read: <br /> "The tug, barge, and all other equipment used must feature sufficiently <br /> shallow drafts to avoid any contact whatsoever with exposed and/or <br /> Ephemeral Hardbottom in the Project Area, regardless of tides and sea <br /> conditions. Furthermore, in order to protect the exposed and/or Ephemeral <br /> 'Hardbottom features, floating tow lines must be made utilizing floating <br /> polypropylene of sufficient length and strength, and in such a manner to <br /> entirely eliminate any contact between the floating, tow lines and the <br /> exposed and/or Ephemeral Hardbottom. Non-floating mooring lines are <br /> not restricted as it is required that all mooring take place outside of the <br /> area of exposed or eohemeral hardbottom. <br /> All cable shall be kept in good condition at all times during vessel <br /> operations, including transiting and particularly during approach to and <br /> operation within the Mitigation Area. Any and all breaks and other <br /> damage of any nature whatsoever shall be promptly repaired to avoid <br /> vessel and/or equipment drift and subsequent potential damage to adjacent <br /> resources, endangered species, or fiber optic cables. Adequate floating <br /> cable scope shall be provided to allow maneuverability in the work area, <br /> and all tow cable shall be of the type that will float unaided and all cable <br /> shall be capable of withstanding the forces of the sea-states to which they <br /> shall be exposed during approach, staging, placement and transiting as <br /> deemed necessary by CONTRACTOR to ensure safe and efficient <br /> operations. <br /> Pin piles (or I-beam type piles) may be used in mooring vessels within <br /> the Work Area. Pilings are not to be located within 250 feet of the cable <br /> buffer area, the beach , or any exposed or Ephemeral Sardbottom. No <br /> pile may be driven into hardbottom, whether emergent or buried. All <br /> 3 <br />
