The following additional restrictions apply when required by paragraphs 8.a.(2) or 8.b.(4), above (Reference: The following replicates the "Dock PDCs for Scenario B" within A2.17. PDCs for Docks or Other Minor Structures of JAXBO.): (1) To avoid and minimize impacts to Johnson's seagrass and native, non -listed seagrasses to the maximum extent practicable: (i) The dock must be positioned to avoid and minimize effects to Johnson's seagrass. (ii) Over any area that contains Johnson's seagrass or native, non- listed seagrasses, the dock shall be oriented in a north -south orientation to the maximum extent that is practicable to allow maximum sunlight under the structure. (iii)If practicable, terminal platforms shall be placed in deep water, waterward of Johnson's seagrass beds or native, non -listed seagrasses beds or in an area devoid of Johnson's seagrass or native, non -listed seagrasses. (iv)Piles must be spaced a minimum of 10 ft apart in any area that contains Johnson's seagrass to minimize direct impacts. (v) Piles shall be installed in a manner that will not result in the formation of sedimentary deposits (e.g., donuts or halos) around the newly installed pilings. (vi)No covered boat lifts are allowed over any Johnson's seagrass. (2) Decking options: Deck surfaces (parallel with the water) that are located waterward of the MHWL must be constructed of grated materials or plank construction or a combination of the both methods (e.g. plank decking on the walkway and grated decking on the terminal platform). These decking options are described below: (i) For grated decking: (a) Height requirement: The surface of the structure, including the dock walkway (the over- water narrow portion connecting the terminal platform to the shore and any over -water ramp required for access) and the dock, must be a minimum of 3 ft above MHW when constructed with grated decking. (b) Size limitations: The dock walkway is limited to a width of ft. The terminal platform is limited to a total area of 160 W. Marginal docks are limited to a width of 5 ft. The 5 ft width restriction is measured from wet side of the seawall. For example, if a seawall cap is 3 feet overwater then the dock would be limited to 2 feet. (c) Material description: Decking materials shaped in the form of grids, grates, lattices, etc., to allow the passage of light through the open spaces. These materials must provide a minimum of 43% open space. (ii) For plank decking: (a) Height requirement: The surface of the structure, including the dock walkway (the over- water narrow portion connecting the terminal platform to the shore and any over -water ramp required for access) and the dock, must be a minimum of 5 ft above MHW when constructed of plank decking. (b) Size limitations: The dock walkway is limited to a width of 4 ft. The terminal platform is limited to a total area of 120 W. Marginal docks are limited to a width of 5 ft. (c) Material description: Deck boards may be constructed of any material. Deck Boards must be installed to provide a minimum of a 0.5-in gap between individual deck boards. d. Aids to Navigation in Acropora critical habitat. The distance from Aids to Navigation (ATONs) to ESA -listed corals and Acropora critical habitat shall ensure there are no impacts to the corals or the essential feature of Acropora critical habitat from the movement of buoys and tackle. The appropriate distance shall be based on the size of the anchor chain or other tackle to be installed to secure the buoy to its anchor, particularly when the design of the ATON does not prohibit the contact of tackle with the marine bottom. In all cases, buoy tackle will include flotation to ensure there is no contact between the anchor chain or line and the marine bottom (Reference: JAXBO PDC A2.10.). General Conditions for Federal Authorization for SPGP V-Rl 1. The time limit for completing the work authorized ends on July 26, 2021. 2.
