I wish it were possible to attend thc hearing, and perhaps [ could learn more about the reason fbr this location. I do not think it will add very much ~.o the area. Quite to the contrary, it will provoke curiosity and invite people to come down the beach to see it. Alternatively, why not place it on Public property at a museum, perhaps at the Maritime Museum in Greenport, after appropriate approvals of the public and private citizens involved..l do not see that it will add very much to the beach between Cedar Beach and Paradise Point, and I thus vote against approval. July 22, 1997 Board of Trustees Southold Town Board Town Hall Main Road Southold, NY 11971 Gentlemen: As a property owner living on Paradise Point Road, I would like to cast my vote against the installation of a statue of a "heron" along our shoreline. While I am sure the "heron" is a beautiful statue, and Mr. Miller is kindly offering to share it with us, I much prefer the sweep of sandy beach from Cedar Beach to Paradise Point in its' natural uncluttered state. Mr. Miller is perfectly welcome to place the statue on his private property, but I would much prefer he not place it on the end of a jetty extending out into the bay, where it will attract sightseers in boats, making swimming hazardous and destroying the peace and tranquillity of the shorefront.

The an is a sculpture, in metal, of a heron standing erect with its beak pointing skyward. It is three-dimensional, and is structured of many thin rod-like metal members, giving the sculpture translucency and a light- ness characteristic of the bird in life. Its overall height is about thirty-five feet. Mr. Miller would like permission to install the sculpture on a platform situated over the end of an ex- isting wooden groin on his property which borders Southold Bay. The platform would be about an eight foot square or hexagon, and its surface would be at a level one or two feet above ordinary high water. The platform would be supported by four or six piles and would be open to permit normal tidal action beneath it. It would appear that the land upon which it is proposed to erect the platform is owned by the State of New York. Non-objection will be sought from NYSOGS Proper-T Permit services represents Mr. Miller in this matter and a letter of authorization is enclosed. Additional intbrmation is provided m the enclosures. We would appreciate receiving your approval of this project. If you require further specific information, please call me.

The full-service marina, boatyard, and fish farm Cedar Island Marina is a family-owned business that calls itself "the family boating resort." It is a full-service marina/boatyarcl with 400 slips operating at 94% capacity in 1995, with many transient visitors filling slips vacated when homeport vessels are away. Three boats are year-round liveaboards. Boat sizes range from under 21 feet up to 120 feet, with 76% between 21 and 35 feet, and 19% longer, 35% are sailboats. Cedar Island has a staff of 25 year-round employees, which expands to 50 full- timers during the boating season. In addition to slips, the marina has retail services: ship's store, grocery, ice, bait/tackle, used boat brokerage, fuel dock, and pumpout. Launch/haulout is available with a 30-ton travel lift and "giraffe" crane for indoor and outdoor winter boat storage. Full repair services include fiberglass, hull, and engine repair; painting; sail rigging; sail making; welding/metal fabrication; and bottom cleaning. Located in Clinton Haffoor, one of the few protected harbors (in southern New England) not burdened with industry, the resort-like marina is I mile from the entrance buoy to Long Island Sound and borders the Hammonasset Nature Preserve. Its customer amenities include a launch3t, 60-foot swimming pool, sauna, whirlpool, picnic grounds, saltwater beach, snack bar, 27S-seat restaurant, poolside bands, ulght security, cable TV, and a children's activity director. On a busy summer weekend approximately 40% of the boats are in use, occupied, or under way out of the harbor; about 20% of the boats have people sleeping http://www.epa, gov/nps/marinas/ch6, html 7/10/2002 overnight. Within a 2-mile radius, there are 8 other marinas and boatyards with an estimated total boat population of 2,000. The prime boating season starts in May and ends m October. Cedar Island Marina was bought by the Shapiro family in 1974 and .~6erted from a fuel terminal built in 1964. Jeffrey Shapiro is also a general ff~_'l~er in the Clinton Harbor Boat Show each July-another major focus of ~'';jattenti°n' publicity, and potential customer draw to his marina. Management measures Cedar Island Marina complies with the marina management measures for water quality assessment and habitat assessment, as well as marina flushing, shoreline stabilization, storm water runoff control, fueling station design, sewage facility, sewage facility maintenance, solid waste, liquid materials, petroleum control, and public education. Costs/benefits In 1995, Cedar Island Marina spent $38,500 to staff and operate its private marina research laboratory, including two full-time marine biologists. Its aquaculture project and publL,-~rl~isplay aquariums am'acted new boating families into slips for the season and helped retain other customers, resulting in an estimated $46,000 gross slip income. The special docks designed by Cedar Island for the aquaculture project cost the company no more than conventional docks. Marina management estimates that the aquaculture project brings them around $5,000 worth of publicity each year and has extended their dredging season, saving another $5,000 annually. Environmental improvements When the State of Connecticut turned down Cedar Island Marina's request for an additional 396 slips in 1988 because the expansion would be "destroying valuable marina life and habitat," little did anyone realize what positive effects would result after Jeffrey Shapiro accepted the challenge. "We decided to prove Connecticut wrong because I was convinced that the marina would improve-not destroy-the harbor's habitat. So I began hiring environmental consultants to test what was happening in and under the marina waters here." That effort has turned into a full- time marina ecology research laboratory with two full-time scientists. Thirteen techrlical reports were published and/or presented at professional estuarine, fisheries management, and Long Island Sound conferences between 1989 and 1995. ~tth removable center panels, marine biologists check to growth of scallops in traps suspended below the Cedar Islond Marina's floating docks. http://www.epa.gov/nps/marinas/ch6, html 7/10/2002 CM/CV Ch 6 -- Cedar Island Marina, Inc. Page 3 of 6 The Cedar Island Marine Research Laboratory is entirely owned, operated, and funded as part of Cedar Island Marina. Its laboratory and in-water field station are also in the marina. Studies have included assessment and long-term monitoring of water quality (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen), marina habitat, coastal birds, and finfish communities (particularly juvenile winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus) in the marina, as compared to other natural habitats in Clinton Harbor. "Testing has proven that our marina's waters have good oxygen levels and lower coliform counts than those at the town beach. And heavy metals did not accumulate in scallops growing on the marina bottom," Jeffrey Shapiro stated. "Also the periwinkle anails-a favorite food of winter flounder-are 20 times more abundant on themarina's dredged bottom than on the neighboring mud flats, which helps explain why we have a 10-times larger population of baby flounder under our docks than elsewhere in the harbor." Studies in recent years-performed in cooperation with the marine laboratories of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and Connecticut Sea Grant-have focused on the marina habitat with special emphasis on its finfish nursery and shellfish aquaculture potential. Noticing that many marine species grew more rapidly and remained healthy under marina docks and boats, Shapiro's lab staff started growing shellfish on trays suspended below the floating docks. Indeed, they grew faster than those placed in neighboring natural marsh fiats and were just as safe for human consumption. Oysters, it was determined, could be grown to market size 1 year quicker under boat docks than outside the marina basin. (Note: Cedar Island's research under marina docks is consistent with that done by others on hard-shell clams in Rhode Island and finfish in Washington.) · But t'wo key factors inhibited use of marinas for oyster farming. First, U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards require the filter-feeding oysters to be relocated to "clean" waters for several months of depuration before being eaten, and that extra handling is cosily. Second, oysters take 4 years to grow to market size. Shapiro switched to another shellfish-bay scallops-and seems to have solved those problems. tn the spring of 1995, with some Connecticut Sea Grant funds and in-kind technical help from state and federal marine biologists, Cedar Island Marine Research Laboratory bought 6,000 baby bay scallops, each about the diameter of a http ://www. epa.gov/nps/marinas/ch6.html 7/10/2002 C\'VCV C'~ 6 -Ceda'- '$'a,~c' Me.,~-e.. '~c. ~'~ :" pencil (raeasured as 1,000 per liter). The scallops were distributed inside plasm mesh bags placed into three-level wire cages hung beneath special 60-ft floati n-- aquaculture docks designed and built by Cedar Island Marina. Deck trap doo~s open to allow access to each shellfish cage for easy removal. Every 4 weeks, each cage is pulled. The mesh bags are opened, and the scallops are counted, measured, lightly brushed to remove fouling growth, and separated into more bags, but Wld~ fewer scallops per bag to allow expanded growing space By late September, all the scallops had grown to market size averaging 3 inches each. Asked what the mortality rate had been, research manager Matthew Mroczka answered, "I expected about a 30% death rate, but so far have lost 4-not percent-only 4 scallops, leaving 5,996 still alive and growing!" Aquaculture typically has higher survival rates than those in nature, often because of protection from predators, but Cedar Island's demonstration is truly remarkable. "Now for the good part of why scallops are better than oysters here," said Shapiro "When most shellfish are eaten, we consume all the meat and stomach, including whatever the animal's last meals included. But we only eat the large muscle of the scallop with the stomach thrown away. So the concerns about water quality do not apply the same way for scallops. Second, the scallop lives only one year from seed to maturity. So producing shellfish for market is largely done during one boating season." "Today, each 3-incTn scallop retails at 50¢, so if we sold this year's crop, we would gross $3,000. However, because the seed, costing $72, was paid for with a federal grant, we will turn them over to the University of Connecticut. But we will keep some of the biggest ones (which grew fastest) to become our breeding stock for 1996. And we will expand the number of seallops and cages. We are happy with it," Shapiro said. "Next year we're going to make money on it in a business way. And each year we'll select our fastest-growing scallops as breeders for the next generation, much as farmers select their best seed and animals for breeding." "For 30 years there has been no commemial scallop fishery in the state. But within specially designed docks at Cedar Island Marina could be the seeds of a reborn commemial fishery."-The Hartford Courant, September 23, 1995. Other benefits Another clear business benefit derived from the lab work is that Cedar Island Marina is permitted to do its annual dredging, to maintain -8 feet MLW, during non-~vinter months. (All other marinas on Long Island Sound are limited to dredging in bitter cold months.) "Our environmental database, particularly the juvenile winter flounder data, helped convinced the state to extend our marina maintenance dredging season beyond the February t deadline to June 1, which gives a $5,000 cost saving by spot dredging in warmer weather." http://www.epa.gov/nps/marinas/ch6.html 7/10/2002 CM/CV Ch 6 -- Cedar Island Marina, Inc. Page 5 of 6 ttnd ht~hl mttlti-level.~ This unusual marine research laboratory, owned and operated by a private commemial full-service marina, is unique in the world. Shapiro admits that it is unlikely that most other marinas could afford such a sustained scientific effort. "I learned that it was more cost-effective to hire full-time biologists rather than hiring consultants at $100 per hour. We've been spending over $30,000 annually for 5 to 6 years, and are now only really starting to see a [business] return." But the Cedar Island Marine Research Laboratory's published reports will benefit the entire marina industry intemationally for many years. To demonstrate the marine life diversity in the boating facility, the lab staff stocks and maintains a 400-gallon saltwater aquarium in the marina office. It is a major attraction for children and parents. "Many boats arrive for fuel and pumpout at Cedar Island's dock just so the kids can run to the office to see the aquarium with all that stuff living under their docks," Shapiro said proudly. "We set up a large marine touch tank during the Clinton Hmbor Boat Show in late July. There were 5,000 people visiting the show, and our tank was the biggest attraction in the exhibit. It really impacts boater behavior not to throw trash or oil overboard. It also attracts visitors who heard about our aquarium. We get a chance to educate people about our environment." "We got a $3,000 pumpout grant to add a second portable pump and 250-gallon holding tank for our fuel dock," Shapiro said. "We use a large 3-inch-diameter diaphragm pump and hose to give us greater suction and faster speed. We charge $5.00 for a pumpout done by our dockhands, but it is free for our slip renters. As a staff incentive, at the end of the season each year I recognize the staff member who did the most pumpouts with a personalized 'Pumpout King Award' and his/her name added to the plaque hanging in the fuel dock office. I started this in 1989 at the suggestion of two dock boys who were competing to get the most pumpouts that summer. The winner that year is listed first, then the other returned in 1990 determined to win-and he did-so his name is second. They like the competition." Asking every boat at the fuel dock to have a pumpout is part of the staffs written job description. Also at the fuel dock, "An oil absorption boom, attached to a painter extension pole, lays on one end of the dock. Whenever a small spill occurs during fueling, the dockhand grabs the pole and pulls the 30-foot boom over the petroleum and moves it around until all the spill is absorbed, much like a mop would." Waste oil and batteries are collected at the service area for recycling. This gives http ://www. epa.gov/nps/marinas/ch6.html 7/10/2002 pecple a cortvenient place to bring their used oil, instead of throwing it into dumpster or on the ground. Gr~vel l:.ermeable parking and work areas help control runoff pollution Lar~dscaping irt the public areas around the stores, pool, and restaurant makes nice, ctean marina atmosphere for boaters. t }fi]cc, I' Wctl~mds, Occa0x & "3~atc['-~hcd:~ } !omc I WaLcishcd ['r,,tct_tu ,n Ibm, http://v,~sw epa.gov/owow.qqPS/marinasdch6.html This page last updated October 4, 1999 http://wvvwv, epa.gov/nps/marinas/ch6, html 7/10/2002 o 72° 30' 0"W 72° 29' 0"W 72° 28' 0"W 72° 27' 0"W 72° 26' 0'W 72° 25' 0"W 72° 24' 0"W 72° 23' 0"W 72° 22' 0"W 72° 21' 0"W 72° 20' 0"W .... ,"3~" II ..... ~,,, ...........................~3'~ ........

Stott Joseph Macari Alice Mignerey Jerry Callis Ail of our clients live and own property in the vicinity of the above-captioned premises, which, I believe, are owned by Mr. James Miller. I understand that Mr. Miller is in the process of seeking approval from various agencies to construct and install a sculpture of a bird, approximately 40 feet in height, on the beach portion of his property. I also understand that Mr. Miller has not made application to your department, or to the Planning Board for the construction and installation of this structure under the building or zoning chapters of the Town Code. Based on information I have received, Mr. Miller has only made application to the Town Trustees, the DEC and the Army Corps. It is our position that Mr. Miller cannot construct or install the structure in question without first receiving an approval or approvals from your department or the Planning Board under applicable provisions of the Town Code. ESSeKS. HEFTEr & ANGEL Building Department November 13, 1997 Page 2 My initial review of the Town Code indicates, at least the following provisions, which either a) indicate the necessity for an application and a permit, or b) indicate that the proposed structure is illegal: 1. Under Section 45-8 of the Code ("Fire Prevention and Building Code, Uniform"), no one can "... commence the erection, construction ... of any building or structure, or cause the same to be done, without first obtaining a separate building permit from the building inspector for each such building or structure ... " Here, the purported sculpture, in excess of 40 feet in height with a 7' x 7' base, is certainly a structure. 2. In the Town's residential districts, there is an 18 foot limitation on the height of accessory structures, as well as numerous setback restrictions. I refer you to Sections 100-33 and 100-30A.4 of the Code. 3. The structure in question fits the definition of a "sign" as set forth in Section 100-13. Under this definition, a sign includes any structure used as an announcement for commercial purposes or otherwise. 4. Signs in the Town of Southold require a permit from the building inspector, even if they are conforming (see Section 100- 201.B). 5. In the Town's residential districts, virtually all signs are prohibited unless they are authorized as variances by the Zoning Board of Appeals (Section 100-205.1). 6. Free-standing signs, such as the proposed structure, can be no higher than 15 feet (see Section 100-205). 7. Even if the structure in question is viewed as an artistic object, approval must be obtained from the Town. In this case, the applicant would need site plan approval from the Planning Board. See, Section 100-239.7 ("Long-Term Outdoor Display or Storage") which expressly applies to outdoor display of "... artifacts ... " ESSEKS, HEFTER c~ ANGEL Building Department November 13, 1997 Page 3 In my opinion, the proposed structure is prohibited in all sections of the Town. I respectfully urge your department to advise the applicant that it must apply for a permit. We request that you advise us of any such application, so that we can take appropriate action under the Town Code provisions, and the applicable provisions of the New York State Town Law.

New York 11971 SOUTHOLD TOWN CONSERVATION ADVISORY COUNCIL The following recommendation was made at the meeting of the Southold Town Conservation Advisory Council held Thursday, November 13, 1997: A-120 Moved by Kenneth MeskiU, seconded by Mary Griffin, it was RESOLVED to recommend to the Southold Town Board of Trustees that it review the aesthetic issue concerning the Amendment to Permit Request of JAMES MILLER 81-3-19.~ to move the location of the platform supporting the heron sculpture landward at above the high water mark. Paradise Point Road, Southold, New York The Council had tabled the application when it was first presented as a Wetland Permit Application because it felt that aesthetics were a relevant concern when considering the project. The Wetland Ordinance sites the protection of the aesthetic value as a function of the Board of Trustees. (See Wetland Ordinance 97-11-B, attached). Therefore, the CAC suggests the Trustees review the project aesthetically and also suggests the applicant move the sculpture onto the property and out of the Trustees' jurisdiction. Vote of Council: Ayes: All Motion Carried WETLANDS Chapter 97 ARTICLE I General Provisions § 9%10. Title. This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the 'Wetlands Ordinance of the Town of Southold.' § 97-11. Declaration of policy. A. The Town Board of the Town of $outhold finds that rapid growth, the spread of development and increasing' demands upon natural resourc~ are encroaching upon or eliminating many of its wetlands, which, if preserved and maintained in an undisturbed and nathral condition, constitute important physical, social aesthetic, recreational and economic assets to existing and future residents of the Town of Southold. B. It is the intention of this chapter to protect the citizen~ of the Town of Southold by providing for the protection, preservation, proper maintenance and use of its wetlands in order to minimize damage from ernaion, turbidity o~ siltation, saltwa~r intrusion, loss of fish, shellfish or other beneficial marine organisms, aquatic wildlife and vegetation and the destruction of the natural habitat thereof, to minimize danger of flood and storm-tide ,tAmage and pollution, and to otherwise protect the quality o! wetlands, tidal waters, marshes, shore lines, beaches and natural drainage systems for their conservation, economic, )aeafJl~ic, recreational and other public uses and values, ~nd, further, to protect the potable fresh water supplies of the town from the dangers of drought, overdraft, pollution from saltwater intrusion and misuse or mismanagement. Therefore, the Town Board declares that the regulation of the wetlands of the Town of Southold is essential to the health, safety and welfare of the people of the Town o! Southold.

The structure as proposed does not meet the standards for permit issuance pursuant to Section 661.9 and is therefore objectionable to the Department. The following are the standards for permit issuance that this proposal does not meet: 1. Section 661.9(b)(l)(i) - The proposal will have an undue adverse impact to the present and potential values of the adjacent wetlands. Specifically, the project will adversely impact the aesthetic appreciation of the natural wetland system. 2. Section 661.9(b)(l)(iii) - The project is not reasonable or necessary, taking into account other alternatives and the absence of water dependency for the structure. 3. Section 661.9(b)(1)(v) - The project does not comply with the use guidelines contained in Section 661.5. Specifically, the proposed structure is classified as an accessory structure to the residential property. Accessory structures proposed in a Shoal/MudflaffLittoral Zone wetland is listed as an activity that is presumptively incompatible with the values of tidal wetlands and should not be undertaken in that area. That applicant has the burden of overcoming such presumption and demonstrating that the activity will be compatible with the area and the preservation of the values of tidal wetlands. l recommend that you reconsider the proposed location of the art work. An approvable location would be to relocate the 7' x 7' platform landward to the bulkhead. It can either be immediately landward or seaward of the bulkhead. Please provide your revised plans directly to me at the above address. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Louis A.

Faxed 9/3/97 United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE 3817 Luker Road Cortland, New York 13045 September 3, 1997 Colonel Gary Thomas District Engineer, New York District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 26 Federal Plaza New York, NY 10278 Attention: Ms. Sophie Ettinger Dear Colonel Thomas: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed Letter of Permission 97-08050- L2, by the applicant James Miller. This is the report of the Service and the Department of the Interior submitted in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.). This response is also provided pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (87 Stat. 884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). These comments are for use in your determination of 404(b)(1) guidelines compliance (40 CFR 230), and in your public interest review (33 CFR 320.4) relating to protection of fish and wildlife resources. The applicant has proposed to install a pile-supported 49 foot square platform on top of the seaward end of an existing wood groin to be supported by existing piles, plus up to four additional piles. The proposed project would occur in Southold Bay, in the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York. TI~ purpose of the proposed project is to provide a supporting platform for a 35 foot high metal sculpture. The Service has recommended several items, found at the conclusion of this report, which must be incorporated into the existing proposal in order to ensure that the proposed action would not be likely to adversely affect Federally listed species. The Service, therefore, objects to the proposed project unless these recommendations are incorporated into the project proposal as permit conditions. The Service recommends moving the proposed platform and sculpture landward to the existing wall. The platform and sculpture are non-water dependent structures and do not need to be placed at the end of the groin. The following report briefly addresses pertinent aspects of the Endangered Species Act, discusses the Federally listed species of concern, describes the activities that can potentially adversely affect these species, and sets forth the recommendations to be used to avoid and minimize impacts. .' f The Endangered Species Act The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) must consult with the Service under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act regarding any action that it authorizes, funds, or carries out that may affect a listed species. In consultation with the Service, the Corps shall utilize its authority to further the purposes of the Endangered Species Act in the conservation and recovery of listed species and the ecosystems on which they depend. Further, 50 CFR 402.02 states that the "effects of an action" to be considered during consultation include "direct and indirect effects of an action on the species or critical habitat, together with the effects of other activities that are interrelated or interdependent with that action...." This correspondence will serve as the initial Section 7 consultation. Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species The piping plover (Charadrius melodus) is a Federally listed threatened species along the Atlantic coast which nests on Long Island beaches. Piping plovers nested in habitats at Southold Bay along Cedar Beach and Cedar Beach Point during the 1988-1997 breeding seasons. Potential Project Impacts Any type of constant human disturbance and use of machinery have the potential to exert direct adverse effects on the piping plover as a result of disruption of courtship, nesting, and feeding activities during the breeding season, and alteration of their habitat. The operation of machinery on a beach that is used by piping plovers as a courtship, nesting, and feeding area has the potential to disturb plovers to the point where they do not successfully nest and fledge young. In addition, machinery that is operated immediately adjacent to piping plover habitat may preclude plovers from using the habitat entirely, forcing them to seek appropriate habitat elsewhere. Recoramendations Based on our review of the project maps and photographs, use of machinery on the beach has the potential for direct adverse effects on the piping plover and their habitat. Consequently, the Service objects to the proposed project unless the following recommendations are incorporated into the project proposal as permit conditions. 1. The platform and sculpture are moved landward to the existing wall. All activities associated with placement of the platform at Southold Bay and Cedar Beach shall be accomplished outside the piping plover nesting season (April 1 to September 1). If piping plovers have not utilized their traditional nesting habitat at Cedar Beach by July 1, the applicant, ~l_.q, OllalllIl[~ with the Service and the Corps, may be authorized to begin the construction of the platform prior to end of the plover nesting season (September 1). With incorporation of the measures 1 through 3 above, the proposed project would not be likely to adversely affect the piping plover. Should these measures not be incorporated into the permit and implemented throughout the life of the project, a biological assessment or further consultation pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act will be required to evaluate potential adverse effects of project implementation on the piping 2 plover and their habitats, and to determine if formal consultation is necessary. Should project plans change, or if additional information on listed or proposed species becomes available, this determination may be reconsidered. Please advise us of action taken .pursnant to our recommendations or changes in the proposal. If you have any quesuons or comments, have your staff contact Christ7 Johnson-Hughes, at my Long Island Field Office at (516) 581-2941. Sincerely, ~,_Sherry W.

GUESTIOIflYAIRE This is intended to supplement ENO Form 4345, Application for Department of the Army Permit, or the Joint Application for Permit used in the State of New York. Please provide complete answers to afl questions below which are relevant to your project. Any answers may be continued on separate sheet[s) of paper to be attached to this form. PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT The purpose of this form is to provide the Corps of Engineers with basic information regarding your project. This information will be used to facilitate evaluation of your permit application and for public dissemination as required by regulation. Failure to provide complete information may result in your application being declared incomplete for processing, thereby delaying processing of your application. GENERAL--APPLICABLE TO ALL PROJECTS 1. Exp/aln the need for, and purpose of, the proposed work. 1. The project is needed lo provide an appropriate display location for a work of art, which is a large sculpture of a heron. Thc ~vatersidc location will allow full enjoyment by thc owner, and thc aesthetic appeal of the installation will be shared by waterborne passers-by. 2. Provide the names and addresses of property owners adjacent to your work site (if not shown on the application form or project drawings). (Please note that depending upon the nature and extent of your project, you may be requested to provide the names and addresses of additional property owners proximate to your project site to ensure proper coordination.) 3. Photographs of the project site should be submitted. For projects in tidal areas, photographs of the waterway vicinity should be taken at Iow tide. Using a separate copy of your plan view, indicate the location and direction of each photograph as well as the date and time at which the photograph was taken. Provide a sufficient number of photographs so as to provide a clear understanding of conditions on and proximate to your project site. 4. Provide a copy of any environmental impact statement, or any other environmental report which was prepared for your project. (continued on next pageJ Page I 5. Provide a thorough discussion of alternatives to your proposal. This discussion should include, but not necessarily be limited to, the 'no action" alternative and alternative(si resulting in less disturbance to waters of the United States. For filling projects in waters of the United States, including wetlands, your alternatives discussion should demonstrate that there are no practicable alternatives to your proposed filling and that your project meets with current mitigation policy (he. avoidance, minimization and compensation]. 5. The proposed location is only 27' seaward of the high water mark and constructed on top of an existing groin, as proposed, results in minimum disturbance to waters of thc United States. An alternative would be to conslxuct the platform landward of thc high water mark, but such a location would be significantly less appropriate fi.om the standpoint of suggesting the habits of the bird in nature. This alternative, from thc standpoint of thc Corps of Engineers, could be considered "no action". Thc project as proposed will have minimal incremental im- pact upon thc site. DREDGING PROJECTS ' Answer the following ff your project involves dredging. 1. Indicate the estimated volume of material to be dredged and the depth (below mean Iow water] to which dredging would occur. Would there be overdepth dredging? 2. You can apply for a ten-year permit for maintenance dredging, ff you wish to apply for a ten-year permit, please provide the number of additional dredging events during the ten-year life of the permit and the amount of material to be removed during future events. 3. Indicate of your drawings the dewater[ng area (if applicable) and disposal site for the dredged material (except landfill sites]. Submit a sufEclent number of photographs of the dewatering and disposal sites as applicable so as to pravide a c/ear indication of existing conditions. For ten-year maintenance dredging permits, indicate the dewatering/disposal sites for future dredging events, ff known. 4. Describe the method of dredging (he. clamshell, dragline, etc.] and the expected duration of dredging. 5. Indicate the physical nature of the material to be dredged (i.e. sand, silt, clay, etc.] and provide estimated percentages of the various constituents ff available. For beach nourishment projects, grain size analysis data is required. (continued on next page) Page 2 6. Describe the method of dredged material containment (i.e. hay bales, embankment, bulkhead, etc.) and whether return flow from the dewatering/disposal site would reenter any wateJ~vay. Also indicate ff there would be any barge overflow. MOORING FAC/L/TIES Answer the following ff your project includes the construction or rehabilitation of recreational mooring facilities. 1. It is generally recommended that any fixed piers and walk ramps be limited to four feet in width, and that floats be limited to eight feet in width and rest at least two feet above the waterway bottom at mean Iow water. Terminal floats at private, non- commercial facilities should be limited to 20 feet in length, ff you do not believe your proposal can meet with these recommendations, please provide the reason(s). 2. Using your plan view, show to scale the location(s), position(s) and size(s) (including length, beam and draft) of vessel(s) to be moored at the proposed facility, including those of transient vessel(s) ff known. 3. For commercial mooring sites such as marinas,, indicate the Capacity of the facility and indicate on the plan view the location(s) of any proposed fueling and/or sewage pumpout facilities, ff pumpout facilities are not planned, please discuss the rationale below and indicate the distance to the nearest ava#able pumpout station. 4. Indicate on your plan view the distance to adjacent marine structures, ff any are proximate and show the locations and dimensions of such structures. (continued on next page) Page 3 5. Discuss the need for wave protection at the proposed facility. Please be advised that if a permit is issued, you would be required to recognize that the mooring facility may be subject to wave action from wakes of passing vessels, whose operations would not be required to be modified. Issuance of a permit would not relieve you of ensuring the integrity of the authorized structure(s) and the United States would not be held responsJ?ble for damages to the structure(s) and vessel(s] moored thereto from wakes from passing vessels. BULKHEADING/BANK STABILIZA TION/FILLING ACTIVITIES Answer the following ff your project includes construction of bulkheading (also retaining walls and seawalls) with backfill, filling of waters/wetlands, or any other bank stabilization fills such as riprap, revetments, gabions, etc. 1. Indicate the total volume of fill (including backfill behind a structure such as a · bulkhead) as well as the volume of fill to be placedinto waters of the United States. The amount of fill in waters of the United States can be determined by calculating the amount of fill to be placed below the plane of spring high tide in tidal areas and below ordinary high water in non-tidal areas. .. 2. Indicate the source(s] and type(s) of fill material. 3. Indicate the method of fill placement (i.e. by hand, bulldozer, crane, etc.). Would any temporary fills be required in waterways .or wetlands to provide access for construction equipment? ff so, please indicate the area of such waters and/or wetlands to be filled, and show on the plan and sectional views. The foregoing requests basic information on the most common types of projects requiring Department of the Army permits. It is intended to obviate or reduce the need for requesting additional information; however, additional information may be requested above and beyond what is requested in this form. Please feel free to add any additional information regarding your project which you believe may facilitate our review. Page 4 PROJECT I.D.

The decking, less than 60 ~. fl. in area, is over the end of an existing wood groin in an area devoid of wetlands vegetation. These additional piles at the end of the groin structures will not have any significant added effect upon tidal flow and currents. The minimal size of the structure and its location at the end of an existing groin will ensure that there will be no significant adverse effect upon any of the factors considered in this Policy. The proposed project will have no adverse effect upon wildlife, fish, or shellfish or their habi- tats because of its minimal size and their scarcity in the immediate area: nor will it adversely af- fect flood and storm control. There will be no adverse effect upon natural pollution treatment, groundwater protection, educational and scienlitie opportunities, or the aesthetic appeal of the area. The proposed activity, therefore, is not inconsistent with Policy 44. · ,/ / SOUTHOLD' \, BA Y~ I HEI THE AREA OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS CIRCLED SHELTER ISLAND SO CORPS OF ENGINEERS DATA PURPOSE: Construct small platform on top of the end an existing wood groin to support art sculpture.
