subject of a previous cultural resources assessment survey (and which shall include,
but not be limited to: pottery, modified shell, flora, fauna, human remains, ceramics,
stone tools or metal implements, dugout canoes, evidence of structures or any other
physical remains that could be associated with Native American cultures or early
colonial or American settlement), the Permittee shall immediately stop all work and
ground -disturbing activities within a 100-meter diameter of the discovery and notify the
Corps within the same business day (8 hours). The Corps shall then notify the Florida

manatee speed zones, and the need to avoid collisions with and injury to manatees. The
permittee shall advise all construction personnel that there are civil and criminal penalties for
harming, harassing, or killing manatees which are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection
Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act.
b. All vessels associated with the construction project shall operate at "Idle Speed/No Wake" at all
times while in the immediate area and while in water where the draft of the vessel provides less
than a four -foot clearance from the bottom. All vessels will follow routes of deep water whenever
possible.
C. Siltation or turbidity barriers shall be made of material in which manatees cannot become
entangled, shall be properly secured, and shall be regularly monitored to avoid manatee
entanglement or entrapment. Barriers must not impede manatee movement.
d. All on -site project personnel are responsible for observing water -related activities for the presence
of manatee(s). All in -water operations, including vessels, must be shutdown if a manatee(s)
comes within 50 feet of the operation. Activities will not resume until the manatee(s) has moved
beyond the 50-foot radius of the project operation, or until 30 minutes elapses if the manatee(s)
has not reappeared within 50 feet of the operation. Animals must not be herded away or harassed
into leaving.
e. Any collision with or injury to a manatee shall be reported immediately to the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Hotline at 1-888-404-3922. Collision and/or injury
should also be reported to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Jacksonville (1-904-731-3336) for'

ImperiledSpecies(a)_myFWC.com
f. Temporary signs concerning manatees shall be posted prior to and during all in -water project
activities. All signs are to be removed by the permittee upon completion of the project. Temporary
signs that have already been approved for this use by the FWC must be used. One sign which
reads Caution: Boaters must be posted. A second sign measuring at least 8'/2' by 11" explaining
the requirements for "Idle Speed/No Wake" and the shut down of in -water operations must be
posted in a location prominently visible to all personnel engaged in water -related activities. These
signs can be viewed at MyFWC.com/manatee. Questions concerning these signs can be sent to
the email address listed above.

designated critical habitat without prior agreement from the National Marine Fisheries Service's
Protected Resources Division, St. Petersburg, Florida.
d. All vessels associated with the construction project shall operate at "no wake/idle" speeds at all
times while in the construction area and while in water depths where the draft of the vessel
provides less than a four -foot clearance from the bottom. All vessels will preferentially follow
deep -water routes (e.g., marked channels) whenever possible.
e. If a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish is seen within 100 yards of the active daily
construction/dredging operation or vessel movement, all appropriate precautions shall be
implemented to ensure its protection. These precautions shall include cessation of operation of
any moving equipment closer than 50 feet of a sea turtle or smalltooth. sawfish. Operation of any
mechanical construction equipment shall cease immediately if a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish is
seen within a 50-ft radius of the equipment. Activities may not resume until the protected species
has departed the project area of its own volition.
f. Any collision with and/or injury to a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish shall be reported
immediately to the National Marine Fisheries Service's Protected Resources Division (727-824-
