I In addition to the ERP, separate constructionpermits and construction certifications are required from FDEP per Florida Administrat ve Code Chapter 62 - 555 and 62 - 604 . FDOT permit application will be submitted. Kimley-Horn will prepare the application cor riponents, submit and respond to the questions posed by state and federal agencies through the ERP permitting process . These questions are generally requests for additional information or clarification of documentation . During the permitting process s, several state and federal agencies may comment on the application. Pre-permit submittal activities critical to thisstrategy include a geotechnical analysis, natural resources assessment, cultural resources coordination and a construction sequence evaluation . The geotechnical analysis will identify the ch tracteristics of the sediments including the amount of flocculent material or "muck" that xists on the bottom and any other anomalies which may be of concern during th a. drilling process . Kimley-Horn will collect any existing geotechnical data and bo ngs , which was used to construct the existing bridge . Upon review of this data, it ill be determined if additional geotechnical data will need to be collected, including jet pr bes, soil borings, soil sampling, and limestone boring . Standard penetration tests will be provided on the landside areas in order to assess landside soil conditions . i Surveying, including bathymetry information will be collected to determine the sub- aqueous cross sections for the proposed aligm lents . Surveying will also include title searches and researching existing easements aid rights-of-way and horizontal and vertical locations of existing structures , edge of pavement, and utilities within the limits of the project. A limited environmental assessment will be p rformed at each shoreline landing location in accordance with the requirements of the ERP process . This assessment may include, but is not limited to the following : • Existing land uses within the construction area • Upland vegetation characterization • Wetland delineation (if applicable) • Submerged aquatic vegetation (if applicable) • State and Federally listed species and t eir habitat observations This information will be detailed in an existing conditions report and included with the joint ERP application to the FDEP and ACOE If impacts to natural resources are proposed as part of the construction, a description of these impacts will be included in the report . Mitigation for these impacts may be required as part of the permit conditions . The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO is responsible for overseeing that cultural (historical) resources are not degraded by development activities . The presence of a cultural resource may require a modification i the construction methodology and/or 2 � j j
