The Sustainability Manager will promptly reply to the Contractor in writing stating whether or not the Owner or the Sustainability Manager, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any such proposed person or entity. Failure of the Sustainability Manager to reply promptly shall constitute notice of no reasonable objection. 5.2.2 The Contractor shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to which the Owner or the Sustainability Manager has made reasonable and timely objection. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Owner or the Sustainability Manager has made reasonable objection.

However, no increase in the Contract Sum shall be allowed for any such substitution. 5.2.4 The Contractor shall not change a Subcontractor, person or entity previously selected if the Owner or Sustainability Manager makes reasonable objection to such change. 5.3 Subcontractual Relations 5.3.1 By appropriate written agreement, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor, to the extent of the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor, to be bound to the Contractor by terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward the Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities which the Contractor, by these Documents, assumes toward the Owner or the Sustainability Manager. Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the Owner or Sustainability Manager under the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights. When appropriate, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The Contractor shall make available to each proposed Subcontractor, copies of the Contract Documents which the Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement which may be at variance with the Contract Documents. Subcontractors shall similarly make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their respective proposed Sub-subcontractors. 5.4 Contingent Assignment of Subcontracts 5.4.1 Each subcontract agreement for a portion of the Work is assigned by the Contractor to the Owner provided that: .1 assignment is effective only after termination of the Contract by the Owner for cause pursuant to Paragraph 14.2 and only for those subcontract agreements which the Owner accepts by notifying the Subcontractor in writing; and .2 assignment is subject to the prior rights of the surety, if any, obligated under public construction bond covering the Contract. i. If the work has been suspended for more than 30 days, the Subcontractor's compensation shall be equitably adjusted. 6.0 CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY OTHER CONTRACTORS 6.1 Owner's Right to Perform Construction with Own Forces and to Award Other Contracts 6.1.1 The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations released to the Project with the Owner's own forces, which include persons or entities under separate contracts not administered by the Sustainability Manager. The Owner further reserves the right to award other contracts in connection with other portions of the Project or other construction or operations on the site under Conditions of the Contract identical or substantially similar to these, including those portions related to insurance and waiver or subrogation. 6.1.2 When the Owner performs construction or operations with the Owner's own forces including persons or entities under separate contracts not administered by the Sustainability GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750-Page 41 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL Manager, the Owner shall provide for coordination of such forces with the Work of the Contractor who shall cooperate with them. 6.1.3 It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to coordinate its work with the work of other contractors on the site. The Owner and Sustainability Manager shall be held harmless for any and all costs associated with improper coordination. 6.2 Mutual Responsibility 6.2.1 The Contractor shall afford the Owner's own forces and other contractors' reasonable opportunity for introduction and storage of their materials and equipment and performance of their activities and shall connect and coordinate the Contractor's construction and operations with theirs as required by the Contract Documents. 6.2.2 If part of the Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon construction or operations by the Owner's own forces or other contractors, the Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to any apparent discrepancies or defects in such other construction that would render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Contractor so to report shall constitute an acknowledgment that the Owner's own forces or other contractors completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the Contractor's Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable. 6.2.3 Costs caused by delays or by improperly timed activities or defective construction shall be borne by the Contractor. The Contractor's sole remedy as against the Owner for costs caused by delays or improperly timed activities or defective construction shall be an extension of time. 6.2.4 The Contractor shall promptly remedy damage wrongfully caused to be completed or partially completed construction by the Contractor or to property of the Owner or other contractors as provided in Subparagraph 10.2.5. 6.2.5 Claims and other disputes and matters in question between the Contractor and other contractors shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4.7 provided the other contractors have reciprocal obligations. 6.2.6 The Owner and other contractors shall have the same responsibilities for cutting and patching as are described for the Contractor in Paragraph 3.14. 6.2.7 Should the Contractor contend that he is entitled to an extension of time for completion of any portion or portions of the work, it shall, within (72) hours of the occurrence of the cause of the delay, notify the Sustainability Manager in writing, of its contention: setting forth (A) the cause for the delay, (B) a description of the portion or portions of work affected thereby, and (C) all details pertinent thereto. A subsequent written application for the specific number of days of extension of time requested shall be made by the Contractor to the Sustainability Manager within (72) hours after the delay has ceased to exist. .1 It is a condition precedent to the consideration or prosecution of any claim for an extension of time that the foregoing provisions be strictly adhered to in each instance and, if the Contractor fails to comply, it shall be deemed to have waived the claim. .2 The Contractor agrees that whether or not any delay, regardless of cause, shall be the basis for an extension of time, it shall have no claim against the Owner or the Sustainability Manager for an increase in the Contract price, nor a claim against the Owner or the Sustainability Manager for a payment or allowance of any kind for damage, loss or expense resulting from delays; nor shall the Contractor have any claim for damage, loss or expense resulting from GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750-Page 42 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL interruptions to, or suspension of, its work to enable other contractors to perform their work. The only remedy available to the Contractor shall be an extension of time. 6.3 Owner's Right to Clean Up 6.3.1 If a dispute arises among the Contractor, other contractors and the Owner as to the responsibility under their respective contracts for maintaining the premises and surrounding area free from waste materials and rubbish as described in Paragraph 3.15, the Owner may clean up and allocate the cost among those responsible as the Sustainability Manager determines to be just. 7.0 CHANGES IN THE WORK 7.1 Changes 7.1.1 Changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of the Contract, and without invalidating the Contract, by Change Order, Construction Change Directive or order for a minor change in the Work, subject to the limitations stated in this Article 7 and elsewhere in the Contract Documents. 7.1.2 A Change Order shall be based upon agreement among the Owner, Sustainability Manager, WSP/Engineer and Contractor; a Construction Change Directive requires agreement by the Owner and Sustainability Manager and may or may not be agreed to by the Contractor; an order for a minor change in the Work may be issued by WSP/Contractor alone. 7.1.3 Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, and the Contractor shall proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order, Construction Change Directive or order for a minor change in the Work. 7.1.4 If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Order or Construction Change Directive that application of such unit prices to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be equitably adjusted. 7.2 Change Orders 7.2.1 A change Order is a written instrument prepared by WSP/Engineer and signed by the Owner, Sustainability Manager and Contractor stating their agreement upon all of the following: .1 a change in the Work; .2 the amount of the adjustment in the Contract Sum, if any; and .3 the extent of the adjustment in the Contract Time, if any. 7.2.2 The cost or credit to the Owner resulting from a change in the Work shall be determined in one or more of the following methods: .1 mutual acceptance of lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation and payment, and approved by the appropriate authority in writing; .2 unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and approved by the appropriate authority in writing; GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750-Page 43 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL .3 cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage fee; .4 or by method provided in Subparagraph 7.2.3. 7.2.3 If none of the methods set forth in Subparagraphs 7.2.1 or 7.2.2 is agreed upon, the Contractor, provided a written order signed by the Owner or Sustainability Manager is received, shall promptly proceed with the Work involved. The cost of such Work shall then be determined by daily force accounts in a form acceptable to the Owner and the Sustainability Manager. The daily force account forms shall identify the Contractor and /or Subcontractor personnel by name, total hours for each man, each piece of equipment and total hours for equipment and all material(s) by type for each extra Work activity claim. Each daily force account form shall be signed by the designated Sustainability Manager representative no later than the close of business on the day the Work is performed to verify the items and hours listed. Extended pricing of these forms shall be submitted to the Sustainability Manager with all supporting documentation required by the Sustainability Manager for inclusion into a change order. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, cost shall be limited to the following: cost of materials, including sales tax and cost of delivery; cost of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance, and fringe benefits required by agreement or custom; workers' or workmen's compensation insurance; and the rental value of equipment and machinery. Markups for overhead and profit will be in accordance with Subparagraph 7.2.4. Pending final determination of cost, payments on account shall be made as determined by the Sustainability Manager. The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor for any deletion or change, which results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum, will be the amount of the actual net cost to the Owner as confirmed by the Sustainability Manager. When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in any one change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of the net increase, if any with respect to that change. 7.2.4 The actual cost of Changes in the Work may include all items of labor or material, power tools, and equipment actually used, utilities, pro rata charges for foreman, and all payroll charges such as Public Liability and Workmen's Compensation Insurance. No percentage for overhead and profit shall be allowed on items of Social Security and Sales Tax. If deductions are ordered, the amount of credit shall be net cost to Owner as defined in Subparagraph 5.6.1 of the Contract. Items considered as overhead shall include insurance other than that mentioned above, bond or bonds, superintendent, timekeeper, clerks, watchmen, use of small tools, miscellaneous supplies, incidental job costs, warranties, and all general home/field office expenses. The actual cost of Changes in the Work(other than those covered by unit prices set forth in the Contract Documents) shall be computed as follows: .1 if the Contractor performs the actual Work, the maximum percentage mark-up for overhead shall be five percent (5%) and the maximum percentage for profit shall be five percent (5%); 2 if the Subcontractor performs the actual Work, the subcontractor's percentage mark- up for overhead and profit shall be a maximum addition of ten percent (10%). If the Contractor does not perform the Work, the maximum mark-up for managing the Work will be five percent (5%); .3 If the Subcontractor performs part of the actual Work, his percentage mark-up for overhead and profit shall be a maximum addition of ten percent (10%) on his direct Work only. If the Contractor performs part of the actual Work, his percentage mark-up for overhead and profit shall be a maximum addition of ten percent (10%) on his direct Work only. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750-Page 44 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL 7.2.5 The Contractor shall furnish to the Owner, through the Sustainability Manager, an itemized breakdown of the quantities and prices used in computing the value of any change that might be ordered. Any additional supporting documentation requested by the Sustainability Manager such as certified quotations or invoices shall be provided by the Contractor to the Sustainability Manager at no additional cost to the Owner. 7.2.6 If the Contractor claims that any instructions given to him by WSP/Engineer, by drawings or otherwise, involve extra Work not covered by the Contract, he shall give the Sustainability Manager written notice thereof within five (5)days after the receipt of such instructions and before proceeding to execute the work, except in emergencies endangering life or property, in which case the Contractor shall proceed in accordance with Paragraph 10.3. .1 The written notice to the Sustainability Manager for the Extra Work shall include a complete description of the extra Work, the total cost and a detailed cost breakdown by labor, material and equipment for each additional activity required to be performed. Mark-ups shall be limited as specified elsewhere in this Article. .2 Except as otherwise specifically provided, no claim for additional cost shall be allowed unless the complete notice specified by this subparagraph is given by the Contractor. 7.2.7 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Contractor shall carry on the Work and maintain its progress during any dispute or claim proceeding, and the Owner shall continue to make payments to the Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents. Disputes unresolved shall be settled in accordance with Subparagraph 4.7. The Contractor shall maintain completed daily force account forms in accordance with Subparagraph 7.2.3 for any dispute or claim item. 7.3 Authority 7.3.1 WSP/Engineer will have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving adjustment in the Contract sum or extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. Such changes shall be affected by written order issued through WSP/Engineer and shall be binding on the Owner and Contractor. The Contractor shall carry out such written order promptly. 8.0 TIME 8.1 Definitions 8.1.1 Unless otherwise provided, Contract Time is the period of time, including authorized adjustments, allotted in the Contract Documents for Substantial Completion of the Work. 8.1.2 The date of commencement of the Work is the date established in the Agreement. The date shall not be postponed by the failure to act of the Contractor or of persons or entities for which the Contractor is responsible. 8.1.3 The date of Substantial Completion is the date certified by the Sustainability Manager in accordance with Paragraph 9.8. 8.1.4 The term "day" as used in the Contract Documents shall mean calendar day unless otherwise specifically defined. 8.1.5 The Owner/Sustainability Manager shall be the final judge as to whether Substantial Completion has been achieved and certifies the date to the Contractor. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750-Page 45 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL 8.2 Progress and Completion 8.2.1 Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence. By executing the Agreement, the Contractor confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work. 8.2.2 The Contractor shall not knowingly, except by agreement or instruction of the Owner in writing, prematurely commence operations on the site or elsewhere prior to the effective date of insurance required by Article 11 to be furnished by the Contractor. The date of commencement of the Work shall not be changed by the effective date of such insurance. 8.2.3 The Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve Substantial Completion within the Contract Time. 8.3 Delays and Extensions of Time 8.3.1 If the Contractor is delayed, at any time, in the progress of the Work by any act or neglect of the Owner, the Sustainability Manager, or WSP/Engineer, or by any employee thereof, or by any separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by fire, unusual delay in transportation, adverse weather conditions not reasonably anticipatable, unavoidable casualties or any causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by delay authorized by the Owner, Sustainability Manager, or by any other cause which the Sustainability Manager determines may justify the delay, then the Contract Time shall be extended by no cost Change Order for such reasonable time as the Sustainability Manager may determine, in accordance with Subparagraph 6.2.7. 8.3.2 Any claim for extension of time shall be made in writing to the Sustainability Manager not more than Seventy-Two (72) hours after the commencement of the delay in accordance with Subparagraph 6.2.7. Otherwise, it shall be waived. Any claim for extension of time shall state the cause of the delay and the number of days of extension requested. If the cause of the delay is continuing, only one claim is necessary, but the Contractor shall report the termination of the cause for the delay within Seventy-Two (72) hours after such termination in accordance with Subparagraph 6.2.7. Otherwise, any claim for extension of time based upon that cause shall be waived. 8.3.3 No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum for either acceleration or delay will be allowed for extensions of time pursuant to this Paragraph 8.3 or for other changes in the Construction Schedules. 8.3.4 If the Project is delayed as a result of the Contractor's refusal or failure to begin the Work on the date of commencement as defined in Subparagraph 8.1.2, or its refusal or failure to carry the Work forward expeditiously with adequate forces, the Contractor causing the delay shall be liable for, but not limited to, delay claims from other Contractors which are affected. 9.0 PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION 9.1 Contract Sum 9.1.1 The Contract Sum is stated in the Agreement and, including authorized adjustments, is the total amount payable by the Owner to the Contractor for performance of the Work under the Contract Documents. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750-Page 46 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL 9.2 Schedule of Values 9.2.1 Before submittal of the first Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to WSP/Engineer, a schedule of values allocated to various portions of the Work, prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as WSP/Engineer may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Sustainability Manager, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applications for Payment. 9.3 Applications for Payment 9.3.1 At least fifteen days before the date established for each progress payment,the Contractor shall submit to WSP/Engineer an itemized Application for Payment for Work completed in accordance with the schedule of values. Such application shall be notarized and supported by such data substantiating the Contractor's right to payment as the Owner or Sustainability Manager may require, such as copies of requisitions from Subcontractors and material suppliers and reflecting retainage if provided for elsewhere in the Contract Documents. .1 Such applications may include request for payment on account of changes in the Work which have been properly authorized by Construction Change Directives but not yet included in Change Orders. .2 Such applications may not include requests for payment of amounts the Contractor does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor or material supplier because of a dispute or other reason. 9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on account of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing. Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner's title to such materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner's interest, and shall include applicable insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and equipment stored off the site. 9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The Contractor further warrants that, upon submittal of an Application for Payment, all Work for which approval for payment have been previously issued and payments received from the Owner shall, to the best of the Contractor's knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of liens, claims security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work. All Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors shall execute an agreement stating that title will so pass, upon their receipt of payment from the Contractor. The warranties are for the administrative convenience of the Owner only and do not create an obligation on the part of the Owner to pay directly any unpaid subcontractor, laborer or materialmen. Such persons must seek payment from the Contractor or its public construction surety bond only. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750-Page 47 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL 9.4 Approval for Payment 9.4.1 WSP/Engineer will assemble a Project Application for Payment by combining the Contractor's applications with similar applications for progress payments from other Contractors and certify the amounts due on such applications. 9.4.2 After the WSP/Engineer's receipt of the Project Application for Payment, WSP/Engineer will either recommend approval to the Sustainability Manager for the Application for Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount as WSP/Engineer recommends to the Sustainability Manager is properly due, or notify the Contractor in writing of WSP/Engineer's reasons for withholding approval in whole or in part as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1. 9.4.3 The issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will constitute representations made by WSP/Engineer to the Owner, based on their individual observations at the site and the data comprising the Application for Payment submitted by the Contractor, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of WSP/Engineer's knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representations are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent tests and inspections, to minor deviations from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion and to specific qualifications expressed by WSP/Engineer. The issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will further constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment of the amount approved. However, the issuance of a separate Approval for Payment will not be a representation that WSP/Engineer has(1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed the Contractor's construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4) made examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum. 9.5 Decisions to Withhold Approval 9.5.1 WSP/Engineer may decline to approve an Application for Payment if, in its opinion, the application is not adequately supported. If the Contractor and WSP/Engineer cannot agree on a revised amount, WSP/Engineer shall process the Application for the amount it deems appropriate. WSP/Engineer may also decline to approve any Application for Payment because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent inspections. It may nullify, in whole or part, any approval previously made to such extent as may be necessary in its opinion because of: (1)defective Work not remedied; (2)third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims; (3) failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials, or equipment; (4) reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum; (5) damage to WSP/Engineer, the Sustainability Manager, the Owner, or another contractor working at the project; (6) reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the contract time; (7) persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. No payment shall be made to the Contractor until Certificates of Insurance or other evidence of compliance by the Contractor, with all the requirements of Article 11, have been filed with the Owner and Sustainability Manager. 9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding approval are removed, approval will be made for amounts previously withheld. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750-Page 48 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL 9.6 Progress Payments 9.6.1 After WSP/Engineer has issued an Approval for Payment, the Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the time provided in the Contract Documents and shall so notify WSP/Engineer. From the total of the amount determined to be payable on a progress payment, a retainage in accordance with the Florida Local Government Prompt Payment Act(Chapter 218, Florida Statutes)will be deducted and retained by the Owner until the final payment is made. The balance of the amount payable, less all previous payments, shall be approved for payment. .1 It is understood and agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled to demand or receive progress payment based on quantities of Work in excess of those provided in the proposal or covered by approved change orders, except when such excess quantities have been determined by WSP/Engineer and Sustainability Manager to be a part of the final quantity for the item of Work in question. .2 No progress payment shall bind the Owner to the acceptance of any materials or Work in place, as to quality or quantity. All progress payments are subject to correction at the time of final payments. 9.6.2 The Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount paid to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion of the Work, the amount to which said Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion of the Work. The Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to Sub-subcontractors in similar manner. 9.6.3 WSP/Engineer will, on request, furnish to a Subcontractor, if practicable, information regarding percentages of completion or amounts applied for by the Contractor and action taken thereon by the Owner and Sustainability Manager on account of portions of the Work done by such Subcontractor. 9.6.4 Neither the Owner nor the Sustainability Manager shall have an obligation to pay, or to see to, the payment of money to a Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by law. 9.6.5 Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar to that provided in Subparagraphs 9.6.2, 9.6.3 and 9.6.4. 9.6.6 A progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents. 9.6.7 All material and work covered by partial payments made shall thereupon become the sole property of the Owner, and by this provision shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor from the sole responsibility for the materials and Work upon which payments have been made or the restoration for any damaged material, or as a waiver of the right of the Owner or Sustainability Manager to require the fulfillment of all the terms of the Contract. 9.6.8 Except in case of bona fide disputes, or where the Contractor has some other justifiable reason for delay, the Contractor shall pay for all transportation and utility services not later than the end of the calendar month following that in which services are rendered and for all materials, tools, and other expendable equipment which are delivered at the site of the Project. The Contractor shall pay to each of its Subcontractors, not later than the end of the calendar month in which each payment is made to the Contractor, the representative amount allowed the Contractor on account of the Work performed by the Subcontractor. The Contractor shall, by an appropriate GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750-Page 49 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL agreement with each Subcontractor, also require each Subcontractor to make payments to his suppliers and Sub-subcontractors in a similar manner. 9.8 Substantial Completion 9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents, so the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use. 9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor and WSP/Engineer shall jointly prepare a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected. The Contractor shall proceed promptly to complete and correct items on the list. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Upon receipt of the list,WSP/Engineer will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the list, which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by WSP/Engineer. The Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by WSP/Engineer, to determine Substantial Completion. When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, WSP/Engineer will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion, shall establish responsibilities of the Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and Contractor for their written acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in such Certificate. 9.8.3 Upon Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof and upon application by the Contractor and certification by WSP/Engineer and the Sustainability Manager, the Owner shall make payment, reflecting adjustment in retainage, if any, for such Work or portion thereof as provided in the Contract Documents. 9.9 Partial Occupancy or Use 9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work at any stage when such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Contractor, provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the insurer as required under Subparagraph 11.3.1 and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. Such partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and Contractor have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage if any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for correction of the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Contract Documents. When the Contractor considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor and WSP/Engineer shall jointly prepare a list as provided under Subparagraph 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor to partial occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agreement between the Owner and Contractor or, if no agreement is reached, by decision of the Sustainability Manager. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT 00750-Page 50 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL 9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner,the Sustainability Manager, WSP/Engineer and the Contractor shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the Work. 9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 9.10 Final Completion and Final Payment 9.10.1 Upon completion of the Work, the Contractor shall forward to WSP/Engineer a written Notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and shall also forward to WSP/Engineer a final Contractor's Application for Payment. Upon receipt, WSP/Engineer will promptly make such inspection.

Follow-up Inspections—The Contractor's Quality Control Representative will inspect the work daily to assure the continuing conformance of the work to the workmanship standards established during the preparatory and initial inspections. CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN 00980-Page 75 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL Additionally, as part of the follow-up inspection, sign-off sheets will be utilized as often as possible. The intent of these sheets is to achieve concurrence from other trade contractors and responsible parties that ensuing work can indeed commence over underlying work. This will prevent oversights and omissions which could elevate costs. Sign-off sheets shall be used for, but not be limited to, concrete, drywall, ceilings, painting, roofing substrates and flooring. These reports are to be generated by the Contractor and submitted to WSP/Engineer for approval prior to the start-up of work. Failure to generate a sign-off sheet or to attain proper signatures prior to covering up underlying work may affect payment for that piece of work if ensuing problems are detected or not. This disciplinary action shall be carried out via the Nonconformance Report. (See Section 1.4.13 of this plan.) Note: The Contractor shall be responsible for recording these inspections and all other project related activities encountered throughout the day on the Contractor Daily Quality Control Report. 4. Completion Inspections—Upon completion of a given feature of the work, the Contractor's Quality Control Representative will meet with the Sustainability Manager representative, WSP/Engineer, if he so desires to attend, to perform an inspection of the completed work. Nonconforming items will be identified and corrected prior to commencement of the next operation. Note: The Contractor shall conduct and report corrections of this inspection which shall be a required submittal. 5. Follow-On Inspections—Upon execution of the Contractor's completion inspection of elements of the work which result in concealment, such as, ceiling and drywall installations, the Contractor shall schedule and conduct multi-trade or singular inspections prior to covering installation. Note: WSP/Engineer will record the minutes to this inspection meeting. 6. Pre-Final Inspection—Upon substantial completion of the project work WSP/Engineer shall coordinate and conduct a universal inspection of all areas and elements of the work. The Sustainability Manager may be represented, if she so desires. This inspection shall be completed at least (15) days prior to the final substantial completion inspection which shall be conducted by WSP/Engineer. All deficiencies and incomplete work should be completed prior to the final substantial completion inspection. B. OPERATION AND CHECK OUT TESTING The Contractor will provide personnel and equipment to perform the operational tests and check-out of the equipment, facilities or equipment constructed, fabricated or installed under this Contract. The Sustainability Manager representative, WSP/Engineer will coordinate and witness all such tests. CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN 00980-Page 76 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL Notification should be given at least ten (10) days in advance of the scheduled tests. C. FINAL INSPECTION WSP/Engineer will coordinate and attend all final inspections of the work. The Sustainability Manager may be represented, if she so desires. Prior to requesting a final inspection, all tests for the equipment and systems must be completed. See Section 01700 for contract closeout. 1.4 REPORTING Maintaining accurate and retrievable records is extremely important in the Quality Assurance Program. These records will act as a main source of information in the present and in the future for the entire Sustainability Manager team. The main report that will be utilized to provide this information is the Daily Quality Control Report. Nonconformance Reports may also be issued. A. DAILY QUALITY CONTROL REPORT The Daily Quality Control Report shall be used to document the summary of daily inspection activities performed by the Contractor's designated Quality Control Representative. It shall include any of the inspection steps that are performed that day, all test monitoring and any rework of nonconforming items. The daily Quality Control Report section of the Daily Superintendent's Report will be routinely used for daily reporting requirements. When the magnitude or complexity necessitates such, a more separate and comprehensive form will be used. Reference the Contractor's Daily Report and, as needed, the Contractor Daily Quality Control Report, Section 01385. B. NONCONFORMANCE REPORT Nonconformance Reports will be issued for work that is found to be in nonconformance with the contract documents or the referenced quality standards. The report will be issued by the Sustainability Manager. It is not the intent to routinely and repeatedly issue nonconformance reports, but to issue them only after normal enforcement standards have been exhausted, or if the work performed is a detriment to the project. A copy of the Nonconformance Report will be forwarded to the Site Project Manager for his information and/or action. It should also be included in the Contractor's Daily Quality Report package for general review. Nonconformance Reports will be signed off once the deficient item or items have adequately been corrected. This will be done by the issuing Superintendent and Project Manager. These sign-offs will be included with a corresponding notation for any corrective action taken. Significant nonconformance needs to be addressed to prevent recurrence. The signed-off report will also be submitted for review. CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN 00980-Page 77 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL Work activities affected by a Nonconformance Report will proportionally counter- affect payments. Whether that be partial or full retainage will be left up to the discretion of the Sustainability Manager. 1.5 AUDITS A. The Sustainability Manager may choose, at her option, to perform Contractor audits of their Contractor Quality Control Plan at any time. Reports of these audit results will be forwarded to the Project Manager for his action. Any action items noted during an audit for the Contractor will be followed up and documented to insure compliance and avoid recurrence. 1.6 SUMMARY The intention of this plan is to create a system of checks and balances that will minimize delays caused by rework and a lack of planning, maximize production and insure that the finished product is one in which the entire construction team can take pride. These goals can be achieved by giving the Owner exactly what it has bought. The Owner will expect no more and, through Quality Assurance, the construction team will provide no less.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS 00990-Page 79 of 158 Canal 82 Organic Removal and Backfilling Project, Key Largo, Monroe County , FL SECTION 01010 - SUMMARY OF THE WORK 1 Project Overview The Scope of Work for Canal #82 located on the Atlantic side of US-1 on Key Largo running parallel between residential roads, Lobster Lane and Bonito Lane consists of organic removal and backfilling. The migration of weed wrack into the canal has resulted in the accumulation of organic material that has decomposed into organic muck that consumes the dissolved oxygen present in the canal, thus preventing the ability of the canal to properly support marine life. The organic muck removal activities are to be completed to remove the oxygen depleting organic materials. The backfilling activities are to be completed so that a natural benthic community can be established.

(WSP)was contracted by Monroe County to provide site investigation and engineering technical services for their Canal Restoration Program.This investigation and report may be used to aid in avoidance and minimization of impacts to protected resources during the design phase of the project and as an exhibit during environmental resource permitting. The need for this investigation arises from requirements outlined in federal and state environmental regulations that require a representative survey to be completed to identify protected natural resources, including locating any seagrass species,coral species,or other benthic resources that may exist within the proposed project limits.A brief description of the primary regulations examined for compliance is provided below. 13.7 E E) :( (u ERE SPECIE ACT The Endangered Species Act(ESA) prohibits the"taking of any listed species to ensure imperiled species are protected, recovered to sustainable populations, and no longer need protections set forth under the ESA. Under the provisions of the ESA,federal agencies must ensure that actions authorized,funded,or implemented by the agency will not adversely impact the existence of any endangered or threatened species or their critical habitat through consultation with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries or United States Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS), depending on the species.Since ratified in 1973,all projects must examine their potential effect on protected resources.The ESA also provides for legal penalties for non-compliance. Like the ESA,the Marine Mammal Protection Act(MMPA) prohibits the"taking"of marine mammals. Ratified in 1972,Congress agreed that all marine mammal species offer great international significance as a natural resource and implemented the MMPA to safeguard a sustainable population of these mammals. Penalties, imprisonment, and fines are enforcement measures in instances of non-compliance.Jurisdiction for the MMPA is shared by the USFWS and the National Marine Fisheries Service(NOAA Fisheries). 3 A('AG (. O --S"TE(, S F,, HER( CONSER 1,,�A 7 70N,11!!,.( A 1 The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act was enacted in 1976 and governs marine fisheries in US waters.Among its many objectives, it primarily aims to prevent overfishing, rebuild overfished stocks,and set standards for fishery management plans.A key component in fisheries management is protecting Essential Fish Habitat(EFH). EFH includes all types of aquatic habitat,such as estuaries, coral reefs,sand, seagrasses, and rivers used by fish at any stage in their life cycle. NOAA Fisheries is the regulatory agency responsible for administering this Act. .114 BALD,4ND COLS While removed from the endangered species list under the ESA in 2007, bald and golden eagles remain protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act(BGEPA).Since ratified in 1940, it prevents the"taking"of eagle nests, parts, eggs, roosts, habitat,and eagles themselves without prior authorization from the Department of the Interior.The act provides penalties for non-compliance.The USFWS is the regulatory agency responsible for administering this Act. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act(MBTA), passed in 1918, makes it unlawful to take, pursue, hunt,capture, kill,or sell birds listed as migratory birds without a permit. It also provides legal penalties for non-compliance. It intends to ensure a sustainable population of migratory bird species.The USFWS is the regulatory agency responsible for administering this Act. ''Pam'.,41 "' R .�'I "T The Rivers and Harbors Act was enacted by Congress in 1899 as one of the earliest forms of legislation to govern water bodies in the US.Section 10 of this act is administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers(USACE). Under this act,construction of any structures in or over any navigable water of the US requires authorization from the USACE.The Act applies to any dredging or disposal of dredged material,excavation,filling, rechannelization or any other modification of navigable waters of the US. 7 CL E,1 N VI °1 TER 1,C The Clean Water Act(CWA)was ratified in 1972 and remains the basis for most environmental regulation concerning water pollution in the United States.The CWA allows the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)to regulate the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States.These regulations prohibit contribution of point source pollution without first obtaining a permit. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) was implemented by the EPA in order to permit and enforce federal water pollution regulation. Section 404 of the CWA establishes a program to regulate the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the US, including wetlands.Activities in waters of the US regulated under this program include fill for development, water resource projects, infrastructure development,and mining projects.Section 404 requires a permit from the USACE before dredged or fill material may be discharged into waters of the US, unless the activity is exempt from Section 404 regulation. Under Section 401 of the CWA,a federal agency may not issue a permit or license to conduct any activity that may result in any discharge into waters of the US unless a state or authorized tribe where the discharge would originate issues a Section 401 Water Quality Certification verifying compliance with existing water quality requirements or waives the certification requirement. 1,18 ES E(," J "E RL-,�ER (`), PR w TECT . F Illy„"jr°E ,'''j D The purpose of Executive Order 11990 is to"minimize the destruction, loss,or degradation of wetlands and to preserve and enhance the natural and beneficial values of wetlands."To meet these objectives,the Order requires federal agencies, in planning their actions,to consider alternatives to wetland sites and limit potential damage if an activity affecting a wetland cannot be avoided.The Order applies to: • Acquisition, management, and disposition of Federal lands and facilities construction and improvement projects which are undertaken,financed,or assisted by federal agencies; • Federal activities and programs affecting land use, including but not limited to water and related land resources planning, regulation, and licensing activities. Florida Administrative Code 62-330 implements a statewide Environmental Resource Permit(ERP) program which includes governance for activities in, on,or over wetlands and surface waters in the state of Florida. It also governs upland activities that may affect surface waters and isolated wetlands. It provides responsibility and authority to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the five water management districts throughout the state to manage these environmental resources through the issuance of permits. Florida Administrative Code 62-340 provides a statewide methodology for delineation of state wetlands and surface waters.This methodology determines wetlands through the identification of dominant plant species,soil, and other hydrologic evidence indicative of regular and periodic inundation or saturation. Onsite inspection,aerial photointerpretation,or both in conjunction,are required to identify potential wetland resources within a project site. Permits may be required for any activities that fall within a wetland or surface water unless the activities are designated as exempt. 13,77 ESTA B l HE 'PRO T PRO TOCO , A series of guidelines for executing demolition,construction, repair,and maintenance activities in US and Florida waters and shorelines have been established through formal consultations and mandated guidelines issued by both state and Federal entities.The following summarize three that have direct relevance to the project location and proposed project activities. USACE Jacksonville District's 2017 Biological Opinion Regarding Authorization of Minor In-Water Activities(JAXBO) Under Section 7 of the ESA,federal agencies must consult with NOAA on activities that may affect ESA-listed species.These inter-agency consultations are designed to help federal agencies in fulfilling their duty to ensure that their actions do not jeopardize the continued existence of a species or destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitat. Where appropriate, biological opinions(BOs) provide an exemption for the"take" of listed species(e.g., harassment, harm, pursuit, hunting,shooting,wounding, killing,trapping,capturing,or collecting)while specifying the extent of take allowed, reasonable and prudent measures that would minimize impacts from the federal action, and terms and conditions with which the federal action agency must comply. Programmatic consultations require adherence to specific design criteria to ensure effects to ESA species and/or their habitat are minimized or avoided. Following consultation with the USACE Jacksonville District, NOAA issued a BO (JAXBO)addressing authorization of minor in-water activities addressing threatened and endangered species and their designated critical habitat in Florida, Puerto Rico,and the US Virgin Islands(NOAA 2017).There are several categories of"in-water"activities that are identified in JAXBO and regulated under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, including but not limited to! • Shoreline stabilization; • Installation, repair,and removal of pile-supported structures and anchored buoys; • Dredging, including maintenance, minor,and muck removal; • Installation, repair,and removal of water-management outfall structures and end walls; • Installation, repair,and removal of boat ramps;and • Marine debris removal. Species addressed in JAXBO include sea turtles,smalltooth sawfish, Nassau grouper,scalloped hammerhead sharks,sturgeon,corals,and whales; designated critical habitat for sea turtles,smalltooth sawfish,sturgeon, corals,and whales. Sea Turtle and Smalltooth Sawfish Construction Conditions ESA-listed sea turtles and smalltooth sawfish can be injured or killed as a result of direct contact or indirect influences resulting from coastal and in-water construction activities.As such, NOAA developed the Sea Turtle and Smalltooth Sawfish Construction Conditions(NOAA 2006)and the Protected Species Construction Conditions, NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office(NOAA 2021),which identify standardized measures and protocols intended to avoid and minimize potential effects to these protected species(Appendix A). Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is responsible for managing Florida's fish and wildlife resources.Their mission is to manage and maintain these resources for the long-term well-being and benefit of people. FWC enacts legislation and enforces statutes to effectively project and manage Florida's resources. Coastal and in-water construction activities including dredge and fill projects, boat facility and boat ramp construction,and bridge construction can harm Florida manatees(Trichechus manatus latirostris)and/or their habitat. FWC frequently provides expert opinion to state regulatory and planning agencies for potential adverse impacts to the Florida manatee. FWC provides recommendations for permit conditions or lease conditions to help reduce potential negative affects to manatees. The most common recommendations to offset these adverse impacts are presented in the Standard Manatee Conditions for In-Water Work(USFWS 2011;see Appendix A).These conditions represent the minimum amount of protection necessary for Florida manatees during in-water work. IIII III 0 . I1 The Water Quality Protection Program (WQPP)Action Plan for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) identified impaired water quality in residential canals as a priority for corrective action.Canal restoration is an important and vital step in the County's continued dedication to improve the overall quality of our nearshore waters and will have a beneficial impact on the canal's property values. Monroe County has evaluated and ranked 96 canal restoration projects in unincorporated Monroe County for water quality improvement and restoration options.Canal 82 in Rock Harbor is one of the selected canals.The scope of the project includes muck removal and backfilling of limerock and sand.The goal of the proposed improvements is to restore the impaired waters of the canal by increasing dissolved oxygen levels to meet State 62-302 Class III marine water quality standards and encourage growth of seagrass and other benthic resources as well as prevent sargassum from falling out onto the canal bottom. Proposed construction methodologies will include the implementation of best management practices(BMP)such as turbidity booms,silt fencing,and monitoring by trained field personnel to ensure that all protected marine life is safeguarded during construction activities. 1 IIII'.......... ....L...

Maps of previous sightings and critical habitat of listed species were compiled. All maps were produced in GIS format and are presented in Figure 4. The second phase of the study involved direct investigations and observation of the project site.The WSP scientists conducted pedestrian visual surveys of the site,as well as in-water benthic surveys. Records were made of wildlife observed, listed plant species found, evidence of wildlife utilization,and appropriate habitat for listed species. Wetlands are those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and a duration sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation.These species,due to physiological adaptations,can grow, reproduce,or persist in aquatic environments or anaerobic soil conditions.Soils in wetlands are generally classified as hydric or alluvial.Wetlands in Florida generally include swamps, marshes, bayheads, bogs,cypress domes and strands,sloughs,wet prairies, riverine swamps and marshes, hydric seepage slopes,tidal marshes, mangrove swamps,and other similar areas.These ecosystems provide important environmental functions including attenuation of flood water,water filtration, and wildlife habitat. In addition,coastal wetlands provide shoreline protection by dissipating wave energy and stabilizing soils. A desktop review of the project area was performed using available data to determine the potential occurrences of wetlands and other surface waters. Baseline data sources include USFWS National Wetland Inventory(2022) (Figure 5), in addition to the critical habitat and seagrass resources map(FWC 2022; Figure 4).The results of the desktop analysis were used to guide field efforts. WSP scientists next conducted a field survey of the project site. If potential wetland resources in the assessment area were identified,they were delineated in accordance with Florida Administrative Code,Chapter62-340,the USACE 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual:Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains Region (version 2.0)(2010). Field resources included the FDEP manual on wetland delineation (January 2021 edition).The FDEP's method for determining a wetland boundary is as follows: "The landward extent of wetlands shall be determined by the dominance of plant species,soils, and other hydrologic evidence indicative of regular and periodic inundation or saturation. In all cases, attempts shall be made to locate the landward extent of wetlands visually by on-site inspection,or aerial photo interpretation in combination with ground truthing,without quantitative sampling." The limits of any delineated wetlands were recorded using a sub-meter GPS. Field notes,site sketches, photographs,and appropriate data forms were recorded. .............IIII IIII III IIII' 0� III°°°° IIII' S SIII°°° IIII The benthic survey was conducted in two phases.The first phase was a literature search and desktop mapping effort to identify species potentially found on the site as part of the T&E survey. Maps of critical habitat of listed species and seagrass resources were compiled (Figure 4).All maps were produced in GIS format. The second phase of the study involved direct investigation and observation of the project site by WSP scientists. The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary's(FKNMS)Resource Assessment Survey Protocols for Nearshore Construction Projects(2022),Protocol for Benthic Surveys of Coral Resources in FKNMS(2011),and NOAA's Protocol for Sampling Holophila johnsonii(2011)were followed for the benthic survey.Canal 82 was accessed via boat and the benthos were observed from the boat.WSP scientists observed the resources along the seawalls, riprap and mangrove roots.To aid in visualizing the canal bottom, an underwater remote operated vehicle(UROV) was utilized,and video was recorded. Records were made of wildlife observations,corals,sponges and other invertebrates, and any submerged aquatic vegetation found. Evidence of wildlife utilization, and appropriate habitat for listed species was also recorded.A survey for seagrass was conducted outside the canal using a 1m2 quadrangle and all locations were marked with GPS(Figure 6). Refer to Appendix B for site photographs. Weather conditions during the site visit on May 16,2023 were characterized with temperatures in the high 80 to low 90 degrees Fahrenheit. In the morning winds were 8 miles per hour(mph) north and, in the afternoon,they switched to 8 mph south-southeast.The water temperature was 85 degrees Fahrenheit. i� uumul uuumuuuu uuuumiiillllmum m"' Illm, uuuuuuuuuu IIII"^11 Ilk III IIII IIII Illk IIII IIII IIII^^ S1114 Ilk IIII IIL............. SU1114 Ilk A comprehensive list of species observed on May 16,2023 by WSP scientists is shown in Table 1. A listing of threatened and endangered species for the area was obtained from the USFWS Information for Planning and consultation (IPaC)website(USFWS 2023).According to the report,there are 31 species that are known to occur,or have the potential to occur,within the vicinity of the projects. Numerous Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC)are also known to occur in the area.A copy of the Trust Resources List is included in Appendix C. Additionally,a Biodiversity Matrix from the FNAI website was obtained to determine if State listed species may be affected by the proposed project(FNAI 2023).According to the report,there are 51 species that are known to occur,or have the potential to occur,within the vicinity of the project.This report does contain some overlap with the Federal listings from IPaC.A copy of the Biodiversity Matrix Query Results is included as Appendix C. The American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) has critical habitat overlapping with the project area and seagrass resources were identified as shown in Figure 4(USFWS 2021, FWC FNAI 2019, FWC 2022). Notable species occurrences and likely consultation status are listed in Table 2.The evaluation has been limited to the species that have either been documented,documented-historic,or likely to occur by FNAI was based on the location.The adjacent residential community has an extremely limited capacity to support terrestrial-based T&E species. None of the species listed in Table 2 were observed within the project area during the site investigation. The following paragraphs detail potential species of concern and their relationship to conditions at Canal 82. The project area does coincide with USFWS-designated American crocodile critical habitat area. No American crocodiles were observed on site.This species prefers the low wave action and protection provided by mangrove swamps. Due to the high boat traffic, it is not likely that the species heavily utilizes the project area and thus it is not likely that the species will be affected by the proposed activity. The potential for sea turtle nesting in the area was examined.Sea turtles are protected under the ESA and Florida's Marine Turtle Protection Act.The project is not located in an FWC sea turtle nesting zone and no sea turtles or appropriate nesting habitat were observed.Thus, it is not likely that the species will be affected by the proposed activity and consultation with NOAA Fisheries in not expected. The site is not located within a critical habitat area for the smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata),a federally and state listed endangered species.They occupy a large variety of habitats, including seawall lined canals, piers,oyster bars, and mangrove shorelines. No smalltooth sawfish were observed during the benthic survey and are unlikely to use this site. The Florida manatee(Trichechus manatus latirostris) is federally listed as threatened under the ESA and protected under the MMPA and by the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act of 1978.They prefer shallow waterways with minimal wave action, particularly in areas with plentiful seagrasses and vegetation. Using GIS data available from FWC and USFWS,seagrass habitat does exist adjacent to the project area (Figure 4)and there is a possibility that manatees can be found in the project area. No manatees were observed on site; however,all demolition and construction activities should follow the Standard Manatee Conditions for in-Water Work(2011) as directed by FWC and USFWS.Additionally,the construction within the canal would provide only a temporary disturbance to any manatees that may be utilizing this area. Based on 2013 Effects Determination Key for the Manatee in Florida (USACE),we conclude that this project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the Florida manatee as construction will adhere to the Standard Manatee Conditions for In-Water Work. Potential for impacts to seagrass habitat in the area was examined using GIS data available from FWC and USFWS and during the benthic resources survey. Florida's seagrass beds play an important part in providing food, habitat, and nursery areas for many species within the marine ecosystem.Seagrass is considered Essential Fish Habitat (EFH)and is protected under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act administered through NOAA. From the GIS data available,the project area is adjacent to known seagrass habitat(Figure 4). During the benthic survey phase of the project,a seagrass bed was identified within the canal,see Section 4.3. w7,65, 0 THERSPECIES Other listed species noted in the FNAI Biodiversity Matrix and IPaC Trust Resources list(Appendix C)were not considered to be present at the project site or potentially impacted by the project. IIIL............ IIII IIIL........... IIII^^ III IIII^ III III IIIL.... Illk This section describes the general ecological conditions observed at the project site.An inspection of the proposed project area was conducted on May 16, 2023.The purpose of the inspection was to determine if any jurisdictional wetlands were located within the project area.These assessments were made by consultation with available literature,visual observation,and photographic documentation. Refer to Appendix B for photographs of the site. The National Wetlands Inventory(NWI) (Figure 5) does identify wetlands in and adjacent to the site.The canal is identified as Estuarine and Marine Deepwater by the NWI.Typical wetlands expected in this area include mangrove swamps and coastal marshes.This was confirmed during the site investigation. Four groups of mangroves were identified during the site visit mainly near the mouth of Canal 82(Figure 7).As identified on the Survey Results Map, Group 1 consisted of red mangroves(Rhizophora mangle).Group 2 was a majority of red mangroves with a small amount of white and black mangroves. Group 3 consists mainly of white mangroves with a large amount of them dead,and some red and black mangroves. Finally,Group 4 had a majority of red mangroves with some white mangroves and a small amount of black mangroves. � I� The visible benthic community within the project area was predominantly a silty bottom covered with detritus. No seagrass beds were identified within the canal through FWC seagrass mapping; however,seagrass(Halodule wrightii)was identified through the in-water survey(Figure 7).See Table 3 for the submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV)density of each quadrat. Lesser starlet corals(Siderastrea radians)were identified outside the canal on the riprap along the mouth of the canal (Figure 7). In addition to a GPS position being taken,each coral colony was measured and photographed.The riprap on the northeastern side had only one colony(Point 1 in Figure 7; Photo 21 in Appendix B).Three coral colonies were identified on the riprap on the northeastern side across from the mouth of the canal (Point 2 in Figure 7; Photo 22-24 in Appendix B).Twelve colonies were found on riprap of the southwestern side of the canal mouth (Point 3 in Figure 7; Photo 25-35 in Appendix B).The colonies were sorted into size class(Table 4)and a relocation recommendation summary(Table 5)was also created. During the benthic survey, many wildlife species were observed utilizing the project area.A complete list of observed species can be found in Table 1. 5 CO IIIIIIIIII� IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIII... ii The goal of the proposed improvements is to restore the impaired waters of the canal by increasing dissolved oxygen levels to meet State 62-302 Class III marine water quality standards and encourage growth of seagrass and other benthic resources as well as prevent sargassum from falling out onto the canal bottom. Based on the desktop review and the observations made during our field visit,we anticipate that construction activities may adversely affect benthic resources in the area. Construction plans include dredging and filling Canal 82 which may adversely affect the small seagrass bed located within the canal.The coral colonies are not likely to be disturbed as all construction will be within Canal 82; however,they can be relocated if necessary. Construction will adhere to the standards set by the NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,Protected Species Construction Conditions,as well as the Standard Manatee Conditions for In-Water Work(USFWS 2011)and Sea Turtle and Smalltooth Sawfish Construction Conditions(NOAA 2006). New construction is required to maintain an average 25 feet and minimum 15 feet buffer from wetlands to avoid secondary impacts to those systems.The proposed project will not be able to provide this buffer due to proximity to the mangroves along the canal.The proposed project includes temporary construction within the canal. Following construction,the adjacent mangrove wetland will continue to function at their current capacity; therefore,secondary impacts are not anticipated. Additionally, based on lack of suitable habitat, no other listed species are anticipated to be found within the limits of disturbance except when temporarily transiting the area.Wildlife utilizing the immediate project vicinity will only experience temporary disturbances from the construction activities.There will be no adverse changes to the existing use of the site. 6 uuuuuu uumuu uuumill uuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuumi uuuum uuuumlllluu umum luuuuuuuum I°"allUs e"'III Ill...lilst of Gllhsseirved SllpedV°ies oin Illr�fay"161111 �20� �2S COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME STATUS [IAtlantic needlefish Strongylura marina NA Spiny lobster Panulirus argus NA Barracuda Sphyraena barracuda NA Iguana Iguana iguana NA Flattree oysters Isognomon alotus NA Mangrove tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinate NA Tarpon Megalops otlanticus NA __------.__. -- --- Blue crab Callinectessapidus NA Bocourt swimming crab; Callinectes bocourti NA - _---- - _—------------- Ma n g rove tree crab Aratus pisonii NA Anemone NA Mangrove snapper Lutjonus griseus NA Green moray eel Gymnothorax funebris NA Yellow stingray Urobatis jamaicensis NA __._ ---- -- _.__•____ Great egret Ardea alba NA Green heron TT Butorides virescens NA Great blue'heron' Ardea Herodias NA Double crested cormorant Phalacrocoroxouritus NA - Least tern Sternulo antillorum NA Laughing gull Leucophoeus otricilla NA White crowned pigeon Patogicenas leucocephalo NA Q Q ._ [0 w Q O z z z z °J o 0 0 � z z z n w w V) °n O o O O 0 O O O O z z z z z z z z w z Q w z 7 LL ::) +' +� C > C O �O Q n a a Q z Qz U LL Q u u Q Q u u u Q m m z z � m m m a a w LL a a a a aJ N N N p U � z N N N C N C C w — Q U) U) U) � O7 C) w J (n ',.

To determine which protected species and critical habitat may be found in the transit area,please review the relevant marine mammal and ESA lasted species at Find A Species (https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/find- species) and the consultation documents that have been completed for the project. 1. Equipment—Turbidity curtains, if used, shall be made of material in which protected species cannot become entangled and be regularly monitored to avoid protected species entrapment. All turbidity curtains and other in-water equipment shall be properly secured with materials that reduce the risk of protected species entanglement and entrapment. a. In-water lines (rope, chain, and cable, including the lines to secure turbidity curtains) shall be stiff, taut, and non-looping. Examples of such lines are heavy metal chains or heavy cables that do not readily loop and tangle. Flexible in-water lines, such as nylon rope or any lines that could loop or tangle, shall be enclosed in a plastic or rubber sleeve/tube to add rigidity and prevent the line from looping and tangling. In all instances, no excess line shall be allowed in the water. All anchoring shall be in areas free from hardbottom and seagrass. b. Turbidity curtains and other in-water equipment shall be placed in a manner that does not entrap protected species within the project area and minimizes the extent and duration of their exclusion from the project area. c. Turbidity barriers shall be positioned in a way that minimizes the extent and duration of protected species exclusion from important habitat (e.g. critical habitat, hardbottom, seagrass)in the project area. 2. Operations—For construction work that is generally stationary (e.g.,barge-mounted equipment dredging a berth or section of river, or shore-based equipment extending into the water): a. Operations of moving equipment shall cease if a protected species is observed within 150 feet of operations. i Manatees are managed under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. b. Activities shall not resume until the protected species has departed the project area of its own volition (e.g., species was observed departing or 20 minutes have passed since the animal was last seen in the area). 3. Vessels—For projects requiring vessels, the action agency, and any permittee shall ensure conditions in the Vesseii Strike Avoidance Measures are implemented as part of the project/permit issuance (https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/southeast/consultations/regulations-policies-and- guidance). 4.
