This is with reference to your agent's request to modify State Permit'# 29-96rwhich was issued on
March 5, 1996 and will expire on December 31, 1999. The action proposed in the submittal involves
the use of a dragline operation to remove the dredge spoil which is located in Estuarine and Public Trust

existing State rules and regulations and is in keeping with the original purpose and intent of the permit.
I hereby submit this Letter of Refinement authorizing.the modification of State Permit # 29-96 as
described in your letter and plans dated January 28, 1998 and received in our office on January 28,

Dear Janet;
This letter is in reference to the dredging activities at
the Queens Grant complex (permit #29-96). As per our con-
versation, we are requesting a refinement in order to remove
the material from the canals by dragline. We are proposing
to place the spoil directly onto high ground as indicated on
the attached diagram. In order to prevent any sloughing of
the spoil material behind the bulkhead, we propose to dig a
trench at least 2 ft. deep/paralellto the bulkhead. The
material removed will be placed to the waterward side of the
trench; therefore creating a 2-3 ft. burm. The burm will
then be backed up with a silt fence that will have metal
stakes every 6 ft.as we had discussed. If you need any further
information, or have any questions... please contact me at
either 793-4143 or 232-1663.
THANK YOU, .
