SPECIAL CONDITIONS

Test Bore Exploration
1. Particular caution should be exercised during the moving of the rigs between sub-tidal areas
and the adjacent marshes and wetlands. This should include limiting movements during low tide
events to reduce the amount of suspended sediments released, as practicable. Shifting and turning
movements should be minimized to avoid any unnecessary disturbance to exiting marsh and root
mats. Any rutting as a result of the rig movement should be repaired and grade restored upon
completion.
2. A commitment was made to complete the work between October and January, which is
outside any moratorium windows. If the work is not completed within this time frame the
applicant needs to contact this Corps Office to determine if additional consultation with resource
agencies is necessary.
