In that letter you indicated that Destin Beach is willing to discuss the County's request to use the property owned by you as a disposal site for the future dredging of Taylor Creek. This letter is to notify you that the County will be relocating the spoil site off your property and will be notifying you when it is prepared to remove the dirt. Weare in the process of attaining cost estimates at this time to remove the spoil site and plan on having a contract in place by the first quarter of 2007 with construction commencing soon thereafter.

The purpo~e of this correspondence is to memorialize and to follow up on several matters that we discussed during our meeting. We provided you with copies of various drawings~ including drawings describing the location of the proposed cargo operations at Bertb 4~ which are the subject of the pending application for sovereign submerged lands lease (See Sheet C-06A). As you requested, we also provided you with a drawing showing the 1ocaUon of these proposed operations if they were to be relocated to Berth 1 area, as the County has suggested (See Sheet C-03A). As we explained, relocating these operations to Berth 1· area would require the County to immediately move and restore the spoil disposal site which was used by the County during 2004 to Ju1y 28,2006 when we informed the DEP that the county docs not have any permission to use the spoil area. You have advised us that the County again desires t() use some part of the property for a spoil site for Phase 2. This site will receive spoil from the dredging of Taylor Creek, which proposed dredging is the subject of a pending application filed with the Department of Enviromnental Protection. You have indicated the County will require the use of this spoil site beginning next spring and through 2008 (a.nd possibly into 2009). Weare willing to discuss your request to use the property as a disposal site~ and invite you to submit specific proposals for our review ¡md consideration. We are aware that the County desires that we relocate our cargo operations from the Berth 4 area to thc Berth 1 ~\fea.

We therefore have suggested to consider delaying the relocation of our cargo operations from Berth 4 to Berth 1 to allow the County to continue to use the existing spoil site at Berth l! provided we are allowed to undertake the proposed cargo operations at Berth 4 unti1 the County bas completed the use (and restoration) of the existing spoil disposal site at Berth 1. We think this latter proposal would save the County and its taxpayers considerable time and expense. In any event, we look forward to receiving a written description of the County's proposals for the use of the property as a. spoil disposal site. These proposals ShOlÙd take into consideration our proposed operations as described in the dru-wings we provided to you. Again, thank you for hosting our meeting on Monday. We look forward to bringing these matters to a mutually satisfactory conclusion. Sincerely yours, /2d~ Michael Ravelo Fort Pierce Waterfront 'ferminals LLC ~~ " ._.
