. Restrictions and limitations for the construction of private recreational dock facilities: (NOTE: On a case-by-case basis the Corps may authorize, in writing, exceptions to the following restrictions/ limitations, based on site-specific conditions or other factors.) A. Structures may be extended or located up to 00 feet waterward of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) elevation contour or one-third (/) the width of a natural water body, whichever is closer to the shoreline, except as otherwise governed by the presence of a federally maintained channel. B. The width of walkways shall not exceed six () feet. C. Boathouses, boat shelters and boatlifts shall not exceed 00 square feet. D. Fixed docks, floating docks, boathouses, boatlifts and boat shelters shall not be constructed over wetlands. E. Walkways that extend over wetlands shall be elevated sufficiently (minimum of feet from the bottom stringer to the water bottom) to prevent total shading of vegetation. F. No dock facility shall be enclosed with wood, glass, fiberglass, metal, or any other solid type materials; however, screening of dock facilities is authorized.. Restrictions and limitations for the construction of proposed public recreational dock facilities will be determined by the Corps on a case -by-case basis. Factors that will be considered by the Corps with regard to the waterward extent, size, and other aspects of proposed public facilities may include, but are not limited to: the need and purpose of the facility; the site-specific conditions at the proposed project location; public safety; handicapped access; and navigation.. Floating structures will installed to provide for fluctuations of water elevation, designed so that the structure will not rest on the water bottom at any time and secured in such a manner as to not break away. Floating structures will be supported by materials that will not become waterlogged or sink when punctured (i.e., not over -/ percent by volume American Society for Testing and Materials standards). Metal covered or injected drum flotation is not allowed. Foam-bead flotation is authorized if it is not subject to deterioration through loss of beads, meets the above standard, and has a minimum density of. pounds/cubic foot, is authorized. Foam bead flotation with a density less than of. lb/cu ft is authorized, provided it is encased in a protective coating that meets the above standard. 7. It is possible that the authorized structure may be damaged by wave-wash from passing vessels. The Permittee shall take proper steps to ensure the integrity of the permitted structure and the safety of moored boats. The Permittee wil l not hold the United States liable for any such damage. 7
8. RP 8 does not authorize any facility that will adversely affect any threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for such designation, or their designated critical habitat as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) ( U.S.C. ). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service "Initial Project Seeping (IPaC)" printout identifying federally-listed threatened and endangered species that may occur in the vicinity of the project site, is available at http://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/. Applicants shall notify the Corps if any listed species or designated critical habitat might be affected by the proposed dock faci lity, and for such a proposal, may not begin work until notified by the Corps that the requirements of the ESA have been satisfied. Applicants are advised that for a project proposed in a county where there is an IPaC listed "Clam" species and/or critica l habitat for a "Clam" species, a survey may be required for listed biva lves (mussels) at the project site and the area downstream of the project site. 9. If, during the execution of the work authorized by RP 8, the permittee encounters a previously unidentified cultural resource that might be considered eligib le for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP); the permittee shall cease work and immediately notify the Corps. Upon notification by the permittee of the identification of a potentially eligible cultural resource within the vicinity of a RP 8 authorized dock facility, the Corps will conduct a preliminary review to determine if the resource would warrant further investigation. If, based on the Corps' prelim inary review the resource appears to be eligible for inclusion in the NRHP, the Corps will initiate consultation with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Historic Preservation Division (Georgia HPD), pursuant to Section 7 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Based on the outcome of the Corps' review and consultation with Georgia HPD, measures deemed necessary to mitigate impacts to cu ltural resources wou ld be incorporated as special conditions into the authorization issued under authority of RP 8. The permittee would then be notified of the addition of such special permit conditions, if applicable. 0. Permittees are advised that development activities in or near a f loodway may be subject to the National Flood Insurance Program that prohibits any development, includ ing fill, within a floodway that results in any increase in base flood elevations. RP 8 does not authorize activities prohibited by the National Flood Insurance Program..
