Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document summarizes the attendance list and key discussions from the Pre-Proposal Conference for the GROUP1-26-R-J001, Intracoastal Waterway Maintenance Dredging opportunity in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

• Permit 0173188-008-JC: Anchoring or spudding of vessels and barges within areas with benthic biological resources is prohibited. Sling anchoring must remain within the work area.

• Turbidity Monitoring (Specific Condition 23):

  • If turbidity levels at compliance sites exceed 4 NTUs above background within the OFW (Outfall Flow Zone), or 29 NTUs above background outside the OFW, construction activities must cease immediately.
  • Activities cannot resume until corrective measures are taken and turbidity returns to acceptable levels.

• Other Turbidity Sources: Project-associated turbidity sources (e.g., scow or pipeline leakage) must be monitored. Exceedances of the same NTU thresholds (4 NTU within OFW, 29 NTU outside OFW) require immediate cessation and resumption only after corrective actions.
