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. 138 Elm Street RO. Box 802 Old Saybrook CT 06475 Tel 860.388.1224 Fax 860.388.4613 last~,lr~ncbengineers.com oncbengir~ers.com · Copies of the plans and specifications, this document, and contract documents, for the upcoming project. Copy of the newspaper advertisement authorization for your signature. Posting this information in the newspaper will begin the bidding process. As we discussed the following dates are significant in this process: Mr. Donald Lamb November 15, 2012 Page 2 of 2 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. Mr. Chades Brown, P.E.

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.

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: SUPPORTING DATA.

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~ comparison of co.~,..'zuction techniques and a.-'.~,:ci~_ted m~intenance tbr these alternatives must be provided Unless c~17 ~m~ ~at it wo~d not be b~edded ~ a ~ d~ of I foot for bo~ c~v~, ~d 2 fc~t or 20 p~t of~e ~c~ ~e for ro~ ~ e~p~cal c~, to allow na~ ~b~ ~ col~i~ ~ ~c~e's bo~ ~co~se fish movem~t m~in~ ~ e~ c~l slope.

B. No regulated activity authorized by a Nationwide Permit can cause the loss of areas classified as a bog or fen in the State of New York, as determined by the Buffalo or the New York District Corps of Engineers, due to the scarcity of this habitat in New York State and the difficulty with in-kind mitigation.

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. 130 Elm Sl*'eel 0Id Sayo,'ook, Ci' 06475 Tel 860.388.1224 Fax 860.388.4613 gflcbenglneers,com Principal Au§ust 15, 2012 Chris Edwards Fishers Island Ferry District 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. o oC~°o 0 0 0 o oC~°o 0 0 0
