Dear Mr. Lamb,
Following up on our conversation, I believe that the following information and
documents will constitute adequate information for the Town of Southold to
proceed with your bond funding and bidding for the proposed improvement
and restoration of the north ramp, or main ramp, at the Fishers Island Ferry
Terminal on Fishers Island.
These documents include the following information:
· Copies of NYSDEC, US Army Corps of Engineers and the Town of
Southold permit.
Amendment required by the NYSDEC and the Town of Southold for
minor modifications. The Corps of Engineers feels that this work is
covered under Nationwide Permit Number 13.

· Copies of the plans and specifications, this document, and contract

Posting this information in the newspaper will begin the bidding
process. As we discussed the following dates are significant in this
process:

GNCB
Pre-bid conference, mandatory among potential bidders scheduled for
Thursday, November 29th, 2012 at 12:15 at the Fishers Island Terminal.
Bids are to be received on Thursday, December 13th, 2012 at the New
London Terminal.
We believe that this will give the Board adequate time to review the bid,
make a recommendation for awards, have that approved by the Town, and
be ready to sign the contracts and begin construction on January 1st, 2013.
Also attached is a copy of the engineering report, which was done in two
phases as you will recall. The first phase is for the rehabilitation of the
existing hinged vehicle ramp. The second phase conducted later this
summer and summarized in letter to you from Mr. Charles Brown, P.E.,
justifying the proceeding with concept plan C, which is for a wider and longer
ramp occupying the same extent (encroachment) as the existing facility. This
is the document that was submitted to the NYS DEC and the Town of
Southold and was approved in their specific amendments.
I trust that you will find all of this information helpful in your documentation to
the Town of Southold. This project is and highly justified for an essential
transportation facility. The existing ramp has given admirable service for
more than a quarter of a century as vehicle loads and traffic, to and from the
island, has increased dramatically. Completion of this project is in the best
interest of safety and operational efficiency for the Ferry District. I trust that
you will find all this information helpful in your process with the Town. Please
let me know if you have a need for any further information or meetings with
the Town are necessary; we will be pleased to be of assistance in any
regard.

Fishers Island Ferry District
Attn: Robert Brooks, II, Chairman
P.O..Box H
Fishers Island, NY 06390
Dear Mr. Brooks:
On February 14, 2011, the New York District Corps of Engineers
received a request for Department of the Army authorization for the
repair of an existing ferry ramp. Repairs will include the
replacement of (1) 14 - foot wide by 24 - foot long ramp with a
maximum of 22 - foot wide by 30 - foot long ramp. (1) 40 foot long
bulkhead will be reconstructed using steel sheet pile and backfill
with (80) cubic yards of gravel, stone fill. The site is located
along Silver Eel Cove, in the Town of Southold; Suffolk County, New
York.
Based dn the information submitted to this office, and
accomplishment of notification in accordance with the applicable
federal requirements, our review of the project indicates that an
individual permit is not required. It appears that the ctlv~tles
within the jurisdiction of this office could be accomplished under
Department of the Army Nationwide General 'Permit' Number 3. The
nationwide permits are prescribed as an Issuance of Nationwide
Permits in the Federal Register dated March 12, 2007 (.FR Vol. 72,
No. 47). The work may be performed without further authorization
from this office provided the activity complies with the permit
conditions listed in Section B, No.3, Section C, 'any applicable New
York District regional conditions, and any applicable regional
conditions added by the State of New York, col3ies enclosed.
~pecial Conditions
1) The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by
the Unite~l States require the r~.~val, relocation, or other
alteration, of the structure or work herein authorize4, or if, in
the oDiniun of the Secretary of the Arm~or ~/S authorize4
repre~entative, said structure or work shall cause unressonahle
obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, the
Dermittee will be re~aire~, upon due notice fr~a the CorDs of
Engineers, to r~ve, relocate, or alter the structural work or
obstructions cause~ thereby, without expense to tho un/te~ States.
No claim shall be made against the U~ite4 States on account of any
such re~a~val or alteratiun.
Please note that this nationwide permit (N-Wp) verification is
based on a preliminary jurisdictional determination (JD). A
preliminary JD is not appealable. If you wish, prior to
commencement of the authorized work you may request an approved JD,
which may be appealed, by contacting the New York District, U.S.
Army CorDs of Engineers for further instruction. To assist you in
this decision and address any questions you may have on the
differences between preliminary and approved jurisdictional
determinations, please review U.S. A~-,~y CorDs of Engineers

date of this letter, unless the nationwide permit is modified,
reissued, or revoked. This verification will remain valid for two
years from the date of this letter if the activity complies with
the terms of any'subsequent modifications of the nationwide permit
authorization. If the nationwide permits are suspended, revoked,
or modified in such a way that the activity would no longer comply
withthe terms and conditions of a nationwide Permit,'and the
proposed activity has commenced, or is under contract to commence,
the Permittee shall have 12 months from the date of such action to
complete the activity. All of the existing NWPs are scheduled to
be modified, reissued, or revoked March 18, 201.2. It is incumbent
upon you to remain informed of changes to the NWPs. We will issue
a public notice when ~he N-WPs are'reissued.

E. REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT
APPLY):
[] Office (Desk) Determination. Date: April 13,'2011
[] Field Determination. Data(s):
1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exemise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre-construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed aa soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there 'maybe'waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

A. Construction Best Management Practices (BlVlP's): Unless specifically approved
otherwise, the following BMP's mast be implemented to m/nimize erosion, migration of
sediments, and adverse environmental impacts. Note that at a minimum, all erosion and sediment
control practices must be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with the latest version
of the "New York Standanh and Soeci~caaons for Erosion and Sediment Control". This
document is available at: htto'Y/vavw.dcc.stste.nv.us/website/dow/toolbox/escsi~M.~rdsL
1. All synthetic erosion control features (e.g., silt fencing, netting, mats), which are
intended for temporary use during.construction, shall be completely removed and
properly disposed of after theft'initial purpose has been served. Only mtur~l fiber
materials, which will degrade over time, may be used as permanent measures, or if used
temporarily, may be abandoned in place.
2. Materiah which are tempoiaily sidecast or stockpiled into waters of the United
States must be backf'flled er removed to an upland area within 30 days of the date of
deposition.
3. Dry stream erosshlg methods (e.g., diversion, dam and pump, flume, bore) shallbe
utilized for culvert or otberpipe, or utility instalhtions to reduce downstream impacts
from turbidity and sedimentation. This may require piping or pu;.~,lng the stream flow
around the work area and the use of onfferdams.
4. For trenching activities in wetiands the applicant shall install impe. uesble trench
darns or t~anh breakers at the wetland bound,vies and every 100 feet within wetland
areas to prevent inadvertant drainage of wetlanda or other waters oftha United States.
5. No in-stream work shall occur during periods of high flow.
6. All culverts shall be constructed/installed in accordance with the following:.
For projects that involve the installation of a new or replacement culverts for the
crossing of fish .-bk--ar~ streams, then a bottomless culvert or bridge th.t
completely spans the stream's banl~ull elevation is ~luired. Fish-bearing
slxeams include all state-designated trout streams (i.e.. strenmn that have the
followins New York State Department of Em'imnmental Conservation
classifications: AA(O, A(t), B(0 or C(t)), or other fish-bearing stream. Local
I'I'YSD£C ftsheries biologists can provide assisumce in determining ifa particular
stream suppom fisheries.
Thc r~uirement for a bottomless culvert or bridge can be ~ved if en.~dneering
or other evaluations, indicate that a bottomless structure is not feas~le for such u
crossing, in which case a closed culvert ma)- be used with pro~4sions for
embedmeut as specified below. Information documenting the evaluation shall be
L'~cluded in the permit application. This information must document why the use
of a bridge, arch-span or other bottomles: culvert, would not be a practicable
alternative. At a minimum, an engineering evaluation which sho~vs that a
botromiess su-ucture is not feasible for suc~ a croslmg, as well a~ a cos~

Re: North Ramp Development Options
Kerll~lf Gibhhl. PF
Dear Mr, Edwards:
We have provided three concept options for enhancing and rebuilding the
north ramp as a larger and more comprehensive project than was designed
and bid last year. This has been done as a result of the commissioner's
desire to upgrade the bulkhead since it has limited useful life remaining
(approximately 10 years). The original project was to upgrade the ramp and
counterweight towers,
Of the three options presented we would recommend "C" which enlarges the
ramp to be consistent with the type of ramp available at the New London
slips as well as positions it so that it maintains the existing lane of approach
that currently exists. This option as well as the other two will allow for the
same load capability as the New London side. Option "A" has a shorter
length which does not provide the best operations dudng all tidal conditions
and "A" and "B" realign the slip and are deemed less than optimum when
compared to "C". While there will be differences in the cost of the three
options, with "C' being the highest the difference would not be significant
enough to go with a less than optimal option.

RE: North Ramp Development Options
Dear Mr. Edwards,
Following up on our brief conversation that other day, I thought that it might be helpful for you to have
conceptual plans of various development options for your review at this afternoons meeting. Kelth will
not be able to be at the meeting tonight due to a prior commitment which I will be In route to at the
time. However, he will be available by cell phone If the opportunity presents itself. Kelth's cellphone
number Is (860) 861-9890. If there Is a number that he should plan on calling in at a specific time, please
let him know.
The attached conceptual plans ara as follows:
Plan A reprasents Instillation of an 18 foot wide by 24 foot long ramp. The new bulkhead could be run
inside the existing southeast and southwest walls of the ramp well, requiring ramoval of the northwest
wall and the wall beyond that going over the Coast Guard facility. I have shaded the area In where this
wall removal will be taken place and It Is blue to rapresent open water. The ramp Is shown to scale,
along with the new counter weight towers, the counter weights and the bumper piles. Note that this
option will also raquira ralocatlon oftbe outer dolphin at the port stern oftbe ferry.
Concept plan B reprasents an ~.8 foot wide by 30 foot long ramp and this ramp Is set back Into the
exlsUng drive. The southeast wall is Inside of the existing southeast wall of the ramp well which should
ease construction options slightly, but requlras the ramp to be slid farther to the northwest which
crowds the property line and requires dolphin relocation out beyond the property line. The new
bulkhead Is recessed approximately 6 feet Into the exlsUng property which makes room for the new
ramp, without exceeding the existing ramp footprint. This keeps the race polnt Inside of the critical
clearance s that was discussed during previous design Iterations.
Concept plan C Involves the most work because all four of the Interior walls of the lift well and the wall
running to the Coast Guard wlll be ramoved. The new well will be set back 6 feet Into the pavement,
allowing the new 18 by 30 foot ramp to occupy the existing ramp footprint. The counter weight towers
counter weights, and bumper piles ara shown. This concept does not necessarily require relocation of
any of the dolphins.
I have also Included a sketch titled existing conditions which you can make use of as you see fit to
develop other options which may arise during discussions.
The bids for the previous project which Included all elements, except the bulkhead work came to
$400,000 to $500,000. The bulkhead rapresents approximately about 50 feet In the worst case If we
anticipate $3,000 per linear foot which I believe Is an appropriate value, this part of the work would cost
$150,000. It seems that this project could be done for the $600,000 to $800,000 budget we had
discussed earlier, leaving $150,000 for contingency. I think that would be a prudent way to proceed. I
trust that you will find this information helpful through your deliberations this afternoon, please give me
a call in advance if you would like to discuss anything further, otherwise we look forward to the 5 pm
telephone conference.
