Opinion (JaxBO) Project Design Criteria (PDCs) for In Water Activities
November 20, 2017
1) (AP.7.) Education and Observation: The permittee must ensure that all personnel
associated with the project are instructed about the potential presence of species
protected under the ESA and the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). All on -site
project personnel are responsible for observing water -related activities for the
presence of protected species. All personnel shall be advised that there are civil and
criminal penalties for harming, harassing, or killing ESA -listed species or marine
mammals. To determine which species may be found in the project area,- please
review the relevant Protected Species List at:
httq://sero.nmfs.noaa.aov/tjr-otected res-ources/section 7/thr-eatened e-fida-fia-e-red/in-
dex.html
2) (AP.8.) Reporting of interactions with protected species:
a) Any collision(s) with and/or injury to lany sea turtle, sawfish, whale, or sturgeon
occurring during the construction of la project, shall be reported immediately to
NMFS's Protected Resources Division (PRD) at (1-727-824-5312) or by email to
takereport.nmfsser@noaa.gov and SAJ-RD-Enforcement@usace.army.mil.
b) Smalltooth sawfish: Report sightings to 1-844-SAWFISH or email
Sawfish@MyFWC.coml
c) Sturgeon: Report dead sturgeon to 1-844-STURG 911 (1-844-788-7491) or email
nmfs.ser.sturgeonnetwork@noaa.gov
d) Sea turtles and marine mammals: Report stranded, injured, or dead animals to 1-
877-WHALE HELP (1-877-942-5343).
e) North Atlantic right whale: Report injured, dead, or entangled right whales to the
USCG via VHF Channel 16.
1
3) (AP.9.) Vessel Traffic and Construction Equipment: All vessel operators must
watch for and avoid collision with species protected under the ESA and MMPA.
Vessel operators must avoid potential ir1teractions with protected species and
operate in accordance with the following protective measures:
a) Construction Equipment
i) All vessels associated with the construction project shall operate at "Idle
Speed/No Wake" at all times while operating in water depths where the draft
of the vessel provides less than a 4-foot (ft) clearance from the bottom, and in
all depths after a protected species has been observed in and has departed
the area.
ii) All vessels will follow marked channels and/or routes using the maximum
water depth whenever possible.
iii) Operation of any mechanical construction equipment, including vessels, shall
cease immediately if�a listed species is observed within a 50-ft radius of
i
construction equipment and shall not resume until the species has departed
the area of its own volition.
iv) If the detection of species is not possible during certain weather conditions
(e.g., fog, rain, wind) , then in -water operations will cease until weather
conditions improve and detection is again feasible.
b) All Vessels:
i) Sea turtles: Maintain a minimum distance of 150 ft.
ii) North Atlantic rightlwhale: Maintain a minimum 1,500-ft distance (500 yards).
iii) Vessels 65 ft in length or longer must comply with the Right Whale Ship Strike
Reduction Rule (50 CFR 224.105) which includes reducing speeds to 10
knots or less in Se sonal Mana ement Areas
iv) Mariners 'shall check various communication media for general information
regarding avoiding ship strikes and specific information regarding right whale
sightings in the area. These incliude NOAA weather radio, USCG NAVTEX
broadcasts, and Notices to Manners.
v) Marine mammals (i�,e., dolphins,1 whales [other than North Atlantic right
whales], and porpoises): Maintain a minimum distance of 300 ft.
vi) When these animals are sighted while the vessel is underway (e.g., bow -
riding), attempt to remain parallel to the animal's course. Avoid excessive
speed or abrupt changes in direction until they have left the area.
vii) Reduce speed to 10 knots or less when mother/calf pairs or groups of marine
mammals are observed, when si fety permits.
4) (APA0.) Turbidity Control Measures;during Construction: Turbidity must be
monitored and controlled. 7.rior to initiating any of the work covered under this
Opinion, the Permittee shall install turbidity curtains as described below. In some
instances, the use of turbidity curtains may be waived by the USACE project
manager if the project is deemed too minimal to generate turbidity (e.g., certain
ATON installation, scientific survey device placement, marine debris removal) or if
the current is too strong for the curtains to stay in place. Turbidity curtains
specifications:
a) Install floating turbidity barriers with weighted skirts that extend to within 1 ft of
the bottom around all work areas that are in, or adjacent to, surface waters.
b) Use these turbidity barriers throughout construction to control erosion and
siltation and ensure that turbidity levels within the project area do not exceed
background conditions.
c) Position turbidity barriers in a way that does not block species' entry to or exit
from designated critical (habitat.
d) Monitor and maintain turbidity barriers in place until the authorized work has
been completed and the water quality in the project area has retGrned to
background conditions.
e) In the range of ESA -listed corals (St' Lucie Inlet, Martin County south to the Dry
Tortugas and the U.S. Caribbean) and Johnson's seagrass (Turkey Creek/Palm
I
Bay south to central Biscayne Bay in the lagoon systems on the east coast of
Florida):
i) Projects that include upland earth moving (e.g., grading to install a building or
parking lot associated with a dock and seawall project), must install sediment
control barriers to prevent any upland sediments from reaching estuarine or
marine waters.
ii) The turbidity curtain requirement cannot be waived for any project that moves
or removes sedim�nt (e.g., dredging, auger to create a pile, trenching to
install a cableline). If turbidity c l rtains are not feasible in an area based on
site conditions such as water current, high wave action, or stormy conditions,
the project must undergo individual Section 7 consultation and is not covered
under this Programmatic Opinion.
5) (AP.11.) Entanglement:
