This site was and is a commercial site. In past years it was Baker's Crab House and Topper Batman's Crab House. The property is located on Baker Canal and Battalina Creek consisting of 8.296 acres. All water front footage on this property was dug by means of dredging in the early 1970's. All the proposed dredging would be in this area. I purchased the property in January of 2017, in the name of TJ's Land Development, LLC. All building located on property, with the exception of the one building have been demolished, the concrete foundations still remain. Our goal is to build a Marina which would include a Travel Lift, 22 Wet Slips, side dockage, fuel station, and a sewage pump out facility. Our proposed plan is to: 1. Excavate part of Baker's Canal on the east side of the property of the existing man-made canal. Excavation of 30' landward with 470' left to right. 2. An addition area 60' X 24' to be used for the Travel Lift. Located on the north side 30' landward and 65' left-to-right 3. Dredging and area 180 X 12' landward on south side for additional dredging. This would be part of Baker Canal. Estimated amount would be 9,000 yards. 4. Bulkhead estimated at approximately 950'. The Bulkhead elevated would be at a height that would funnel water to back of lot on marsh side. Washed rock with weep holes will be placed behind the Bulkhead so that no segmentation will occur. 5. Install a new Boat Ramp, replacing existing Boat Ramp in the same location 20' X 30' 6. Wash Pad, there is a wash pad that exist now on the property, which we will utilize for the washing of boats. We would capture any run-off water and be able to dispose of the sediments properly. We would abide by the standards of Water Quality for this work AOP-4EE-2Y 4 � ^ 4 �j s fr �d f f l ti T 1 �� �� �� � � � �� � � � � V �g���} \ ' { �i ;y3 � �@. �L� 'lYi4 �. ��.x S � - , , � �">� 1j ' (+ 4 {{ n. q„ t h t_yE�"'S t\r3� •\�'��¢`r 2 S+T Y�` ,JA�i \44.� f;'+� j'�/.

Recreational boating is a seasonal activity that occurs between spring and Fall. At the end of the season, boats are removed from the water, their hulls are cleaned and they are placed into winter storage. During the boat hull cleaning process, chemical constituents become entrained in the wash wastewater. Historically, this wash wastewater was allowed to drain as waste into the surrounding soil and waterways. In an effort to reduce the chemical load to ground and surface waters, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) specified management measures for sources of nonpoint pollution in coastal waters, such as those produced by marinas, in section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990. Under its mandate, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) is requiring facilities to eliminate the exposure of industrial source materials to storm water that is discharged to the surface and/or ground water of the State. Marinas that do not cease these operations by March 1, 2010 will be in violation of both the Water Pollution Control Act (N.J.S.A. 58:10A-6) and the NJPDES rules (N.J.A.C. 7:14A). For the many marinas that engage in boat hull washing, ceasing these activities is not a financially feasible option because it is likely to reduce business. With recent and future enforcement, marinas are now financially burdened with regulation compliance. To date, the management of hull wash wastewater discharge has been expensive and problematic for marina operators. This is especially true for small marinas lacking the capital to install permanent and/or complex capture and treatment systems. To help reduce the financial burden placed on small marina owners with seasonal boat cleaning services, an economical boat hull wash wastewater treatment system was developed and tested for two seasons by Ocean and Coastal Consultants, Inc. This portable recycle system collects and treats the wash wastewater so it can either be reused in the boat wash process, evaporated or disposed of in Publically Owned Wastewater Treatment (POTW) systems. Ocean and Coastal Consultants, Inc. set out to design an affordable system that would effectively treat the boat hull wash wastewater at small marinas and bring them into compliance with EPA and NJDEP regulations. As a result of this goat, the Zeolite Apatite Reclaim Recycle System (ZARRS) for boat hull wash wastewater treatment was developed. ZARRS is a simple reclaim/recycle system for small marinas with seasonal boat hull washing activities. The partnership with All Seasons Marina provided a testing facility to develop and refine the system. Only minor modifications would be necessary to transport this system to any other small marina with seasonal boat hull washing activities. Using the ZARRS system, wash wastewater from the boat hull cleaning operations was collected on an impervious wash pad and then treated with both chemical and filtration methods. The processed wash wastewater is stored and is available when further boat hull washing operations occur during the washing season. Following the wash season, if necessary, the processed wash wastewater and filter medium most be properly disposed of in accordance with proper disposal of solid waste. In order to determine the effectiveness of the ZARRS, the concentration parameters of the boat hull wash wastewater collected from the wash pad (RAW) was compared to the processed water (PROC). However, due to the inhomogeneous nature of the materials sampled from the wash pad, a large statistical variation 0" Boat Hull Wash Wastewater Treatment System — Final Report December 2009 was present within the RAW data. For this reason, a "nine fold change" in a parameter's concentration' criterion was defined in order to distinguish sample variation from significant changes produced by the ZARRS. Therefore, for the system to be deemed successful, differences in concentration of parameters between the RAW and PROC samples must be greater than 9 times. Use of the "nine fold change" in a parameter's concentration" criterion shows the 2007 Season ZARRS had no positive effect on the captured boat hull wash wastewater. In both testing cycles, all changes in parameters concentrations were determined to be statistically insignificant by the "nine fold change in a parameter's concentration" criterion. Reduction in the concentration of contaminants ranged from 1.0 (no change) to 7.5 times. Therefore, all the "reductions" were within the realm of being due to the inhomogenous nature of the sampling. Also, several criteria saw small increases in concentration. This is I&ely the result of the inhomogenous nature of the sampling or the compounding of contaminants in the wash wastewater. In the 2008 season, improvements were made to the boat hull wash wastewater treatment system. Larger changes included the addition of both a Zeolite sand and a Reactive Core Mat containing apatite to remove more of the heavy metal that were found during the 2007 season testing. During the 2008 season testing of the improved ZARRS, the concentration parameters of the boat hull wash wastewater collected from the wash pad (RAW) were again compared to the processed water (PROC) using the "nine fold change in a parameters concentration" criterion. Analysis showed the 2008 Season ZARRS to have a statistically significant and large positive effect on the captured boat hull wash wastewater (up to a 480 times reduction). One of the main goals of the ZARRS system was to provide an economical alternative to currently available commercial wash wastewater treatment systems. The initial capital cost for all of the components to run the system was $4,800. The major cost of the system is the wash pad which cost $3,200. Although the wash pad will periodically need to be replaced, the lifetime of the wash pad can be increased by using a geotextile separator between the wash pad and the ground to reduce punctures. The temporary pad could be replaced by a concrete or asphalt pad with sump. Additional expected long term maintenance costs for the ZARRS system includes the seasonal replacement of the filter materials. This includes the filter tote geotextile liner and the sand filtration medium which cost $200. Costs for the acceptance of the recycled wash wastewater at most Municipal Utilities Authority is under $20 per storage tote load (not including pick up and transportation). With proper care of the components, the ZARRS system is an economical solution for small, seasonal boat hull washing activities. 0" Boat Hull Wash Wastewater Treatment System— Final Report December 2009 Boat Hull Wash Wastewater Treatment System 1. INTRODUCITON Recreational and commercial boating in New Jersey is an important activity to the coastal communities as well as important to the economy. Due to New Jersey's climate limitations, recreational boating is a seasonal activity that occurs between spring and fall. During the recreational boating season, individuals have the opportunity to keep their boats in the water at local marinas for a fee. At the end of the season boats are removed from the water, their hulls are cleaned and they are placed into winter storage. During the boat hull cleaning process, chemical constituents become entrained in the wash wastewater. Historically, this wash wastewater was allowed to drain as waste into the surrounding soil and waterways. In an effort to reduce the chemical load to ground and surface waters, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) specified management measures for sources of nonpoint pollution in coastal waters, such as those produced by marinas, in section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990. Under its mandate, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) is requiring facilities to eliminate the exposure of industrial source materials to storm water that is discharged to the surface and/or ground water of the State. Marinas that do not cease these operations by March 1, 2010 will be in violation of both the Water Pollution Control Act (N.J.S.A. 58:10A-6) and the NJPDES rules (N.J.A.C. 7:14A).

This portable recycle system collects and treats the wash wastewater so it can either be reused in the boat wash process, evaporated or disposed of in a Publically Owned Wastewater Treatment (POTW) system. The system was tested over a period of two seasons. Wash wastewater testing was conducted to collect data on the chemicals and their respective concentrations in boat hull wash wastewater, both mw and processed, over two boating seasons. The intercostals waterway adjacent to the site was also tested to provide background data. Design modifications to the system were made based on the wash wastewater testing and analysis. 2. BOAT HULL WASH wASTEwATER POLLUTION Boat hull washing and maintenance is an inherent part of boat ownership for boats placed in saltwater for any period of time. Without periodic maintenance the performance and expected lifespan of the boat hull is decreased by marine growth. To combat the marine growth boat hulls are commonly coated in anti -fouling a" Boat Hull Wash Wastewater Treatment System—Final Report December 2009 paints and the hull is seasonally washed. Although these methods are effective in reducing the marine growth on boat hulls they do also contribute to the pollution of local waterways, soils and groundwater. The wash wastewater generated during the boat hull cleaning process is the focus of the report. It is common practice for marinas to use a pressure washer utilizing fresh water (without additional chemicals) to clean boat hulls. The force of the water jet generated by the pressure washer is effective at removing marine growth. However, it also removes paint chips and entrains toxic chemicals within the wash wastewater. Chemicals contained in boat hull wash wastewater are a source for the introduction of environmentally hazardous runoff into surface water, sediments and organisms. Metal and metal -containing compounds are present on the surface of most vessels. The most abundant pollutants generated from the wash wastewater are heavy metals (Chambers eL al., 2006). Copper, lead, tin and zinc are the metals of major concern in boat hull wash wastewater. Copper, as cuprous oxide, is the most common additive in antifouling coatings and is contained in both leaching and ablative variations. Copper thiocynate, a derivative of cuprous oxide, is used m a replacement for now heavily regulated tin - based antifouling coatings and is generally used over aluminum boat hulls. The concentration of copper in antifouling coatings is usually listed between 10 —30 %. The most common applications of lead in hull coatings are as stabilizers, pigments and/or antifouling biocides. Both inorganic and organo -lead forms are used in these application and the concentrations are usually listed between 1 — 5 %. However, more recent technologies are finding ways to replace Lead with Zinc. Zinc has long been used as an anticorrosive coating for metal hulls but is more recently proving itself as a good antifouling agent. Zinc is also found on boat hulls as a sacrificial anode. Tin is the most heavily regulated metal in boat hull coatings. During the 1960s, organotins, with their excellent antifouling properties, began to replace copper containing antifouling coatings. Trbutyl tin (TBT) quickly became the antifouling biocide of choice, with triphenyl tin (£PT) finding similar applications. During their use, the concentration of organotins in coatings was usually listed between 10 - 15 %. As of January 1st, 2003, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has placed a ban on the application of all organotin based antifouling coatings because of its highly toxic effects on the marine environment. However, some hulls containing organotins still exist. All of these metal containing compounds have been found and documented at concentration levels high enough to be considered toxic in their respective aquatic environments (Chambers et. at., 2006). Many of the contaminants found in the water do not dissolve well and accumulate to higher concentrations in the surrounding sediments. This accumulation translates into an extremely toxic environment for benthic organisms (those organisms living on or in the sediment) and the pollutants have been demonstrated to accumulate in the organisms themselves. The presence of these pollutants in organisms can lead to poor health, reproductive problems and even death of the organisms. Due to this accumulation of toxicity, the EPA has developed and is enforcing regulations that manage the introduction of boat hull wash wastewater as runoff into surface water and sediment. The introduction of a boat hull wash wastewater system to collect contaminants and prevent their introduction into marinas will improve the life and health of local aquatic environments that surround marinas. Boat Hull Wash Wastewater Treatment System— Final Report December 2009 The Permit -By -Rule enables marinas to install a boat wash wastewater system and any related infrastructure without having to obtain a coastal or general permit as long as the guidelines in the permit are followed. Marinas will still need to obtain any required local permits. Additionally marinas do not need to submit any additional paperwork or updates to the NJDEP when they install and are in compliance with NJDEP regulations. Marinas only need to maintain an updated SPPP. 4. WASTEWATER COMPLIANCE For most marinas in New Jersey, steps must be taken to comply with the Basic Industrial Stormwater General Permit by March 12010 for boat hull washing activities. The available options to eliminate unpermitted discharge mentioned in the general permit allow marinas flexibility in selecting an option that best suites their site. Depending on the selected option the wastewater may need to be heated with one or more treatment technologies. Systems that comply with federal and state regulations are available for purchase or a marina may chose to develop its own system. 4.1. OPTIONS The current NJDEP Basic Industrial Stormwater General Permit lists options to eliminate any unpermitted discharge of vessel hull wash wastewater. These options are discussed in more detail within the Marina Edition of the Basic Industrial Stormwater General Permit (NJDEP, 2007). 4.1.1.Reclaim/Recycle System A reclaim/recycle system is a closed loop system that collects the wastewater from boat hull wash operations, treats the water, and reuses the water. In order to collect the wastewater boat bull washing most be conducted over an impervious surface. The impervious surface may be permanent (i.e. concrete slab) or temporary (Le. portable plastic wash pad). The wastewater that collects on the impervious surface is then transferred to a storage system, commonly via pump. The wastewater in the storage system is often treated to remove the pollutants. The technology behind the treatment is discussed in the following section. 4.1.2. Capture -Haul - Dispose The capture -haul -dispose method collects wastewater from boat hull wash operations and transports the wastewater for proper disposal. For this system boat wash operations most be conducted over an impervious surface to collect the wastewater. Often for proper disposal the waste must be characterized by performing testing. Proper disposal options may include a sewage treatment plant or hazardous waste landfill. 4.1.3.Dischar¢e to Sewer Depending on the location of the marina, boat wash wastewater may be collected and discharged directly to a sanitary sewer. Prior approval from local authorities is necessary and will often require a Characterization of the waste and associated fees. Depending on the waste characterization, on-site treatment may be required prior to sewer discharge. A wastewater monitoring plan may also need to be developed to assure quality standards are met for discharge. If a marina exceeds the discharge requirements, local authorities may levy a fine to the marina. Additionally, local authorities may charge an initial connection fee and monthly sewer discharge fees. 0" Boat Hull Wash Wastewater Treatment System— Final Report December 2009 and does not generate continuing stream. This limits the ability of the organisms to thrive and therefore is not usually considered a viable technology for this application. 4.3. AVAILABLE TREATMENT SYSTEMS New Jersey is not alone in figuring out how to cost effectively treat boat hull wash wastewater pollution. Other states have similar regulations related to the handling of boat hull wash wastewater based on NPDES Phase 11. This has led to the development and production of multiple treatment systems from a variety of distributors and manufactures. A list of companies with available systems is provided on the New Jersey Clean Marine Program website (httpl/w v.ni.gov/dep/njeleanmarina/). The most common type of available system is the reclaim/recycle system which is consistent with the New Jersey's Clean Marina Program Advisory Committee recommendation. Most of the systems require a permanent on-site installation. The size of the installation space that is required can be large, which can be a problem for small marina owners, as land is a valuable commodity. Typical system flow rales range from 10 gpm to 20 gpm volume for boat washing applications. The included components for each company's system can vary. Most of the systems only include the filtering and treatment components. The most common treatment method is filtration and electrocoagulation. The effectiveness of each systems treatment method is largely unknown due to a lack of published data. Often the treatment components need to be cleaned or replaced to effectively treat the wastewater which can increase long term operations costs. A wastewater collection system, which is a necessary component, is not often included in the system. This requires the purchase of a wash pad or the installation of an impervious surface with drainage plumbing. Additionally the disposal of excess recycled water of solid waste is not included. These additional components to the system can increase cost to the already expensive systems. The costs of these systems range from $5,000 for a single filtration component to over $75,000 for a complete system. Without a standard for recycled water quality and published data on each system it is difficult to identify a system that is suitable for small marina owners with seasonal boat washing activities. 4.4. WASTEWATER DISPOSAL Following boat hull washing activities or when the recycled water becomes unsatisfactory to be re -used, the excess wastewater in the system most be properly removed and treated for disposal. One method of disposal is through the local wastewater treatment facility for a specified fee. The wastewater may be directly connected to a sewer line or the wastewater may be hauled by truck to the disposal facility. Water quality data and expected volumes need to be submitted to the wastewater treatment facility to ensure their system can handle the boat hull wash wastewater. Typically, boat hull wash wastewater volumes and contaminant concentrations are small and therefore place little additional strain on the capabilities of local wastewater treatment facilities. Currently there are not any published standards provided by local wastewater treatment facilities in New Jersey related to boat hull wash wastewater and the disposal of the wastewater is site specific. Additional options for disposal of wastewater include an evaporation tank or placement into a septic system (additional permitting and testing may be required). 4.5. DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE All boat hull wastewater treatment systems will generate some form of solid waste. Correct disposal of the solid waste requires knowledge ofregulations governing proper disposal.
