CONDITIONS
The pemrittee shall comply with the following protected species construction conditions:
a. The pennittee shall instruct all personnel associated with the project of the potential presence of
these species and the need to avoid collisions with sea turtles and smalltooth sawfish. All
construction personnel are responsible for observing water -related activities for the presence of
these species.
b. The permittee shall advise all construction personnel that there are civil and criminal penalties for
harming, harassing, or killing sea turtles or smalltooth sawfish, which are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973.
c. Siltation barriers shall be made of material in which a sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish cannot
become entangled, be properly secured, and be regularly monitored to avoid protected species
entrapment. Barriers may not block sea turtle or smalltooth sawfish entry to or exit from
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 wakelidle' 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-

Noise Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Piling
Installation
The following best management practices are designed to reduce the exposure to sea
turtles, smalilooth sawfish, and sturgeon to potential harmful daily noise exposure levels
associated with pile driving during dock and seawall construction activities.
Noise BMP Plan A (For all projects): Sea Turtle, Smalitooth Sawfish, and Sturgeon
Construction Conditions
The permittee shall comply with the following protected species construction conditions:
a. All construction personnel are responsible for observing water -related activities
to detect the presence of these species.
b. The permittee shall advise all construction personnel that there are civil and
criminal penalties for harming, harassing, or killing species protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973.
c. Siltation barriers shall be made of material in which protected species cannot
become entangled, be properly secured, and be regularly monitored to avoid
protected species' entrapment. Barriers may not block protected species entry to
or exit from designated critical habitat without prior agreement from the National
Marine Fisheries Service's Protected Resources Division, St. Petersburg, Florida.
d. If a protected species is seen within 100 yd 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 ft of a protected
species. Operation of any mechanical construction equipment shall cease
immediately if a protected species 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.
e. Any injury to a protected species shall be reported immediately to the National
Marine Fisheries Service's Protected Resources Division (727-824-5312) and the
local authorized sea turtle stranding/rescue organization.
f. All work must occur during daylight hours.
T Noisn BMP"Plan B-(for ImpactPile-Driving Installation of 6 or More Concrete Piles
per Day)
The permittee shall follow all conditions defined in the Noise BMP Plan A above plus the
conditions provided below:
It must be determined if the project occurs in open water or a confined space.
This differentiation is important because if a project occurs in a confined space,
an animal may not move through or past a noise source to escape it. A confined
space is defined as any area that has a solid object (e.g., shoreline, seawall,
jetty) or structure within 150 feet (ft) of the pile installation site that would
effectively serve as a barrier or otherwise prevent animals from moving past it to
exit the area. This does not include objects such as docks or other pile -supported
structures that would not stop animal movement or significantly reflect noise.
2. If the project is located in open water, up to 10 concrete piles measuring up to
24-in diameter may be installed per day.
3. If the project is located in a confined space, up to 5 concrete piles measuring up
to 24-in diameter may be installed per day.
4. If more than 5 piles will be installed per day in a confined space, noise abatement
measures (below) are required for all of the concrete piles installed that day with
a maximum of 10 piles installed per day.
Noise Abatement Measures: Approved noise abatement measures include noise
attenuation piles (TNAP) and/or bubble curtains.
TNAP design must be constructed of a double -walled tubular casing (a casing within a
larger casing), with at least a 5-inwide hollow space completely filled with closed -cell
foam or other noise dampening material between the walls. The TNAP must be long
enough to be seated firmly on the sea bottom, fit over the pile being driven, and extend
at least 3 ft above the surface of the water.
Bubble curtain design must adhere to the guidelines for unconfined and confined
bubble curtains defined below, and be followed as detailed in the USACE permit
application. The use of any other alternative noise control method must receive prior
approval by NMFS and the USACE.
If the required noise abatement measure discussed above cannot be used, then the pile
must be installed by a different method using the appropriate noise BMPs defined in this
document. (e.g., concrete piles may be installed by vibratory hammer instead, following
BMP Plan A).
Bubble Curtain Specifications for Pile Driving
When using an impact hammer to drive or proof concrete piles, use one of the following
sound -attenuation methods:
1. If water velocity is equal to or less than 1.6 ft per second (1.1 miles per hour) for
the entire installation period, surround the pile being driven by a confined or
0
unconfined bubble curtain that will distribute small air bubbles around 100% of
the pile perimeter for the full depth of the water column.
a. General - An unconfined bubble curtain is composed of an air
compressor(s), supply lines to deliver the air, distribution manifolds or
headers, perforated aeration pipe, and a frame. The frame facilitates
transport and placement of the system, keeps the aeration pipes
stable, and provides ballast to counteract the buoyancy of the aeration
pipes in operation.
b. The aeration pipe system shall consist of multiple layers of perforated
pipe rings, stacked vertically in accordance with the following:
Water Depth (m)
No. of Layers
0 to less than 5
2
5 to less than 10
4
30 to less than 15
7
15 to less than 20
10
20 to less than 25
13
c. The pipes in all layers shall be arranged in a geometric pattern which
shall allow for the pile being driven to be completely enclosed by
bubbles for the full depth of the water column and with a radial
dimension such that the rings are no more than 0.5 m from the outside
surface of the pile.
The lowest layer of perforated aeration pipe shall be
designed to ensure contact with the substrate without burial
and shall accommodate sloped conditions.
ii. Air holes shall be 1.6 millimeter (mm) (1/16-in) in diameter
and shall be spaced approximately 20 mm (3/4 in) apart. Air
holes with this size and spacing shall be placed in 4 adjacent
rows along the pipe to provide uniform bubble flux.
iii. The system shall provide a bubble flux 3.0 m3 per minute per
linear meter of pipe in each layer (32.91 ft3 per minute per lin
ft of pipe in each layer). The total volume of air per layer is
the product of the bubble flux and the circumference of the
ring:
V = 3.0 m3/min/m * Circumference of the aeration ring in m
or
VI= 32.91 fN/min/ft * Circumference of the aeration ring in ft
iv. Meters shall be provided as follows:
• 1►
• Pressure meters shall be installed at all inlets to aeration
pipelines and at points of lowest pressure in each branch of
the aeration pipeline.
• Flow meters shall be installed in the main line at each
compressor and at each branch of the aeration pipelines at
each inlet. In applications where the feed line from the
compressor is continuous from the compressor to the
aeration pipe inlet, the flow meter at the compressor can be
eliminated.
Flow meters shall be installed according to the
manufacturers recommendation based on either laminar
flow or non -laminar flow.
2. If water velocity is greater than 1.6 ft per second (1.1 miles per hour) at any point
during installation or if constructing a seawall, surround the pile or area being
driven by a confined bubble curtain (e.g., a bubble ring surrounded by a fabric or
non-metallic sleeve). The confined bubble curtain will distribute air bubbles
around 100% of the pile perimeter for the full depth of the water column,
according to specifications below.
a. General - A confined bubble curtain is composed of an air
compressor(s), supply lines to deliver the air, distribution manifolds or
headers, perforated aeration pipe(s), and a means of confining the
bubbles.
b. The confinement shall extend from the substrate to a sufficient
elevation above the maximum water level expected during pile
installation such that when the air delivery system is adjusted properly,
the bubble curtain does not act as a water pump (i.e., little or no water
should be pumped out of the top of the confinement system).
c. The confinement shall contain resilient pile guides that prevent the pile
and the confinement from coming into contact with each other and do
not transmit vibrations to the confinement sleeve and into the water
column (e.g., rubber spacers, air -filled cushions).
d. In -water less than 15 m deep, the system shall have a single aeration
ring at the substrate level. In -waters greater than 15 m deep, the
system shall have at least 2 rings: 1 at the substrate level and the
other at mid -depth.
e. The lowest layer of perforated aeration pipe shall be designed to
ensure contact with the substrate without sinking into the substrate and
shall accommodate for sloped conditions.
f. Air holes shall be 1.6 mm (1/16-in) in diameter and shall be spaced
approximately 20 mm (3/4 in) apart. Air holes with this size and
spacing shall be placed in 4 adjacent rows along the pipe to provide
uniform bubble flux.
g. The system shall provide a bubble flux of 2.0 m3 per minute per linear
meter of pipe in each layer (21.53 ft3 per minute per lin ft of pipe in
each layer). The total volume of air per layer is the product of the
bubble flux and the circumference of the ring:
Vt = 2.0 m3/min/m * Circumference of the aeration ring in m
or
Vt = 21.53 ft3/min/ft * Circumference of the aeration ring in ft
h. Flow meters shall be provided as follows:
Pressure meters shall be installed at all inlets to aeration pipelines and at
points of lowest pressure in each branch of the aeration pipeline.
H. Flow meters shall be installed in the main line at each
compressor and at each branch of the aeration pipelines at each
inlet. In applications where the feed line from the compressor is
continuous from the compressor to the aeration pipe inlet, the flow
meter at the compressor can be eliminated.
iii. Flow meters shall be installed according to the manufacturer's
recommendation based on either laminar flow or non -laminar flow.

CARLOS LOPEZ-CANTERA
LT. GOVERNOR
JONATHAN P. STEVERSON
SECRETARY
On January 16, 2015, we received your application, and on March 30, 2015, the application was
complete for an exemption to replace eight (8) existing public boardwalks, docks and canoe
launching structures within the same footprint and with the same configuration as the existing
structures. The project is located in Wildcat Cove, Class III Waters, within Pepper Park, located
at 3375 N. Highway AlA, Fort Pierce (Section 26, Township 34 South, Range 40 East), in St.
Lucie County (Latitude N 27° 29' 46.96", Longitude W 80' 18' 5.42").
Your request has been reviewed to determine whether it qualifies for (1) regulatory exemption, (2)
proprietary authorization (related to state-owned submerged lands), and (3) federal approval that
may be necessary for work in wetlands or waters of the United States.
Your project did not qualify for the federal review portion of this verification request. Additional
authorization must be obtained prior to commencement of the proposed activity. This letter
does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining other federal, state, or local authorizations
that may be required for the activity. Please refer to the specific section(s) dealing with that portion
of the review below for advice on how to proceed.
1. Regulatory Review — VERIFIED
Based on the information submitted, the Department has verified that the activity as proposed is
exempt under Chapter 62-330.051(5)(d), Florida Administrative Code, from the need to obtain a
regulatory permit under part IV of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes.
This exemption verification is based on the information you provided the Department and the
statutes and rules in effect when the information was submitted. This verification will expire after
one year, and will not be valid at any other time if site conditions materially change, the project
design is modified, or the statutes or rules governing the exempt activity are amended. However,
tires„ V. dep.stare fl. its

the activity may still be conducted without further notification to or verification from the
Department after the one-year expiration of this verification, provided: 1) the project design does
not change; 2) site conditions do not materially change; and 3) there are no changes to the statutes
or rules governing the exempt activity. In the event you need to re -verify the exempt status for the
activity after the one-year expiration of this verification, a new application and verification fee will
be required. Any substantial modifications to the project design should be submitted to the
Department for review, as changes may result in a permit being required. Conditions of compliance
with the regulatory exemption are contained in Attachment A.
2. Proprietary Review —GRANTED
The Department acts as staff to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund
(Board of Trustees) and issues certain authorizations for the use of sovereign submerged lands.
The Department has the authority to review activities on sovereign submerged lands under chapters
253 and 258 of the Florida Statutes, and chapters 18-18, 18-20 and 18-21 of the Florida
Administrative Code.
Your project will occur on sovereignty, submerged land and will require authorization from the
Board of Trustees to use public property. As staff to the Board of Trustees, we have reviewed the
proposed project and have determined that, as long as they are located within the described
boundaries of Sovereignty Submerged Lands Lease No. 561411748 and is consistent the attached
general consent conditions, no further authorization from the Board of Trustees is required.
General Conditions for State -Owned Submerged Land Authorizations:
(a) Authorizations are valid only for the specified activity or use. Any unauthorized deviation
from the specified activity or use and the conditions for undertaking that activity or use shall
constitute a violation. Violation of the authorization shall result in suspension or revocation of the
grantee's use of the sovereignty submerged land unless cured to the satisfaction of the Board.
(b) Authorizations convey no title to sovereignty submerged land or water column, nor do they
constitute recognition or acknowledgment of any other person's title to such land or water.
(c) Authorizations may be modified, suspended or revoked in accordance with their terms or the
remedies provided in Sections 253.04 and 258.46, F.S., or Chapter 18-14, F.A.C.
