Applications which have been Out-To-Notice and are before the Full Council for Decision:

2014-02-020 RIDEM/DIVISION OF FISH AND WILDLIFE -- for a State of Rhode Island Assent to construct and maintain: three experimental artificial reefs; each 0.25 acres; constructed of various sizes of manufactured Reef Balls; to conduct research on function of artificial reefs in RI. Please see attached table for project coordinates. Located in Narragansett Bay, East Passage, Mount Hope Bay.

2014-08-013 WALRUS & CARPENTER OYSTERS LLC -- Perform aquaculture -- a three acre expansion to their existing aquaculture site. The application requests the use of floating aquaculture gear and the seasonal mooring of a work platform. Please see the attached map and work plan. Located in Ninigret Pond, Charlestown, RI.

2014-06-076 RUSSEL SOUSA – Aquaculture -- a 1.4 acre shellfish farm just north of Spectacle Island in Island Park Cove. The applicant has modified the coordinates and moved the location farther off of Spectacle Island. The operation plan remains the same of the previous notice. Located in Island Park Cove, Portsmouth, RI.

2014-08-006 ASC REALTY CO. LLC -- Remove the existing steel marine railway system being used as boat storage and laydown area adjacent to 500 metric ton (MT) Travel lift; bulkhead and fill this area to provide needed laydown/storage. The bulkhead system shall be a steel H- Pile and concrete lag system anchored in the shallow bedrock. The filled area will be used to locate a permanent boat wash down station. The project will widen the 500 MT travel lift pit from 37 ft – 45 ft and increase the length by about 30 ft by the demolition of the existing north pier leg and the construction of a new pier located 8 ft to the north. The south pier will also be extended 30 ft. The proposal will add a pile supported pier to create a 200 MT Marine Travel lift which would share the eastern 100 Ton pier as its western pier.

The proposal includes proposed maintenance or over sheeting of 154 ft of existing steel bulkhead with a new driven steel sheetpile bulkhead. This repair will tie into and match the repair previously made immediately to the north. At the northeast area of the site we propose to undertake maintenance to replace the failing wooden bulkhead with concrete lagging wall 15 ft to west in area of current wooden decking. The existing wooden pier will be removed.

To facilitate stackable boat storage and also additional laydown/storage a new pile supported concrete pier will be constructed in the area between the 500 MT and 200 MT travel lift piers and the west bulkhead of the marine railway fill area. The existing floats and access ramps in this area will be reconfigured to match the new fixed pier configuration.

Public access will be improved/accommodated by installing a new float located in this northeast area.

Located at plat 16, lot 235; 1 Washington Street, Newport, RI
