Over time, the boat motor and trailer tires have left a large hole at the end of each ramp causing some vehicles to get stuck. The project would consist of constructing a cafferdam around the area and pumping out the water. An 8” thick pad would be poured to extend the end of the ramp by 12 feet with a curbing at the end of the proposed extension to prevent boat trailers from falling off the end of the ramp. The project will also include bumpers on the poles within each launch lane and replace some damaged wood around the launch lanes. ‘4 o — o > ° 2 & D & 3 i) o ” = = a < 2 3 o v o a 1» oe = < 3 3S 2£ r-% a < 2 iv) ir e 3 E £ re) S = < FWCI/FBIP-B (02/10) Page 2 of 8 10.1.4 Ill - FACILITY INFORMATION a.

List Primary Need for Project: {X Safety ms High Demand by Users [1 Recommended by FWC Staff Li Lack of In-house Capability (1 Age-end of Useful Life (1 Environmental Needs of the Area (2 Other: b. Need Statement: The Liza Jackson Boat Launch (2 Ramps) are not long enough to accommodate boats larger than 20 feet on a regular basis. At low tide, even the people with smaller boats have a difficult time getting their boats down far enough to get them off of the trailer. Usually, trailers back down to the end of the ramp and the trailer tires fall off the end of the ramp causing trailers to get stuck, Liza Jackson Boat Launch is an extremely high volumed launch facility which brings boats in from Okaloosa County, as well as other counties and states, The citizens constantly place requests to extend the boat launch. c. Approach (Scope of Work): Describe the project’s scope of work by providing a list of tasks and deliverables: The project, if approved, will consist of constructing a cofferdam around the area to pump out the water up the end of the boat launch lanes and pouring an additional 12 feet (in length) concrete slab to accommodate all boats. The project would also include marina style bumpers on each pole on the dock as many boats have had damaged done to their boats from the hardware on the poles. d. Project Benefits: The project would benefit all boating citizens from Penasacola to Panama City, as well as vacationers that tow down boats. The Liza Jackson boat launch is an extremely high voltumed boat ramp. Many boating events are held in the area, as well, that bring in large boats that have a very difficult time releasing and retrieving their boats.

Explain how the project may impact the environment and describe any mitigation or actions proposed to minimize impacts. The boat ramp is not located in any vegetated wetlands (including seagrass beds) and no estuarine wetlands will be filled, dredged, or altered to accomplish the proposed project. The initial construction including damming, pumping, and installation is expected to minimally impact the shallow intertidal sea floor and temporariliy displace fauna in the immediate project area; however, the damming should decrease the incidence of suspended particles and increased turbidity in the water column of nearby habitats {similar to the effects of a turbidity curtain). Pumping will be carefully monitored to ensure minimal adverse impacts to fish and other estuarine species within the project area. The boat ramp is an existing facility and is currently used for boating activities, so fauna present in the area is already regularly exposed to disturbance from boating activities. The project will also consist of the most environmentally safe materials available, where feasible and practical. XII — BOATER SAFETY a. Explain how the project may affect boater safety whether positively or negatively. Attachment: FBIP Application (1165 : Resolution 2011-5 Boating Improvement) The proposed project will positively affect boater safety. It is difficult for boaters to release and retrieve boats due to the shortness of the two (2) boat launch ramps at Liza Jackson Park. The majority of issues at the launch area relate to the trailer tires falling off the end of the ramp. Other issues include the trailers not being able to back their trailers up far enough to get boats back on the trailers. The boats have to push to full throttle to get back on the trailer which has blown out a large section of the sand at the base of the ramp. The drop off from the edge of the ramp to the sand is severe.
