28 Considered Mitigation Measures Avoidance of Migration Times Scare Charges Strobes Electric Seine
29 Preferred Mitigation Measures Driving During Slack Current Cofferdams Air Bubble Curtains (ABC)
30 Why Steel Shell Piles? Superior Structural Properties Max Effect/Min Material Cost Effective Solution Material Properties (Tough, Predictable Behavior) Minimum Footprint Ease of Construction (Drive-ability) Scour Protection Armor (Fendering, Corrosion Protection) No Structural Alternative!
31 Species Present Currents Driving Windows
32 Cofferdams Use Air for Attenuation Most Effective db Reduction Depth Limitations Costs
33 Air Bubble Curtains (ABCs) Confined Isolation Casing db Reduction Gunderboom
34 Air Bubble Curtains (ABCs) Un-Confined Bubble Rings Single and Multi-level level Bubble Tree 5-30 db Reduction
35 Keys to Successful Operation Proper Installation Warm Up 10 minutes Monitor Air Pressure Delivery Monitor Sound Levels
36 Conclusions Identify Impact to Fish Define Sound Pressure Limits Improve Mitigation Measures Share Information Between States, Contractors, and Countries
37 Lessons Learned: Understand Ramifications of Permit Terms & Conditions Meaningful and Measurable Values Develop and Follow Monitoring Protocol with Specific Objectives and Controls Obtain Incidental Take Authorization to Avoid Unanticipated Work Stopages Avoid Jeopardy; Avoid and Minimize Incidental Take to the Extent Practicable
