Quantify. area of, project which extends into wetlands and/or waterward of the apparent mean high water line., Applicant proposes to extend four (4) existing outfalls and to install approximately 1,400 linear feet of sheet pile bulkhead - an average of two feet waterward of an existing bulkhead. Rip -rap will be placed at the toe of the new bulkhead at a slope of 2 horizontal to one vertical. Specific construction techniques were not addressed. DER Form PERM 16.10 (Dec 75) Page 1 of 5 T >'co O U7 B. Biophysical foatures of general area (include comments concerning extent of dovelopement of adjoining properties). The area surrounding the project site (west) is high density residential with numerous condominiums (eight -ten) immediately adjacent to the existing bulkhead. Inter- tidal lands north and south of the site have been bulk headed with numerous piers, docks, pilings and other facilities for boat tie-up readily abundant. East of the site is Biscayne Bay and its associated flora and fauna C. Biophysical features of specific project site (and spoil site when appropriate, include identification of bottom types). The specific project site includes a vertical bulkhead that was placed below the line of Mean'High Water sometime in the past. Currently, ,the wall is 'in a state of disrepair, -and flooding of'the adjacentBayshore Drive occasionally occurs asa result 'Of a combinationof high tides and severe rain. The proposed wall will provide. a higher vertical barrier to Biscayne Bay and insure against potential flooding of ad- jacent uplands., Since the area was previously bulkheaded, the normally pro- ductive intertidal zone has been eliminated. However, rip -rap placed at scattered locations at the base of the bulkhead has helped to negate the detrimental affects of the vertical bulkhead by providing habitat for a variety of marine organisms including algae, macro and micra invertebrate, as well as numberous small fish. DER Form PERM 18.10 (Dec 75) sr D. Impact of project on biological resources. Address longterm inpact as well as immediate impact. All aspects of proposal shoutd be assessed in these terms. The immediate impact will be the loss of those submerged lands as productive habitat immediately waterward of the existing bulkhead. Long term impacts, however, should be less severe. Once the construction of the new bulkhead is completed and the rip -rap has been placed in front of the bulkhead, recolonization of marine organisms should occur almost immediately. E. Recommendation, with justification, concerning application. Include references to statutes, administrative rules, etc.: F. Suggestion concerning modifications to reduce or minimize impact where appropriate. DER Form PERM 16.10 lDee.75) Pege'3;of !i PART TWO PROJECT CONSTRUCTION OR OPERATION MAY CAUSE: 1.
