4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:"
Sand Ridge Harbor Marina will provide in water storage of privately owned vessels for the guests of the development and other interested parties. The expected daily operation will likely
involve light activity during the week, less than 30 boats leaving and returning to the marina, and possibly double that number on the summer weekends. The owner desires to develop a
marina on the eastern portion of the property along the shoreline. The development of the marine will involve the construction of a boardwalk from the upland areas to the water's edge,
fixed piers to access the marina docks, and floating piers at the berths. Upland development will include a marina office, parking, recreational vehicle sites, primitive campsites, and a
campground bath house and office.

The construction in the CAMA jurisdictional area will be constructed with standard marine construction equipment. The wooden causeway from the marina office to the waters edge will be
constructed with a low ground pressure tracked excavator with vibratory hammer. The water based portion of the project will be constructed with floating equipment, typically a floating
barge with pile driving equipment. The upland construction will be conducted with standard equipment tracked excavator, bull dozer, dumptruck, motor grader.
