The survey will: of the survey is to document existing conditions location, and existing a.) identify existing structures within and adjacent to the project location channel markers within the survey limits. The bathymetric survey will include: NGVD29; and, extend of the mean high water ( MHW) line; depths referenced 0. 0 and from the MHW to the ICWW approximately 100 feet east and west of the project, Federal navigation channel); upland utilities; and b.) be used in the development of the permit drawings, hydrodynamic and flushing study provide the necessary information to be included in the State of Florida Submerged Lands Lease; and, the State of Florida c.) be signed and sealed by a Professional Land Surveyor registered in and be provided in ACAD. 3. 1. 2.

Will it be advised to employ a Dock Master, use collection meters or other methods? If a Dock Master is desirable, what facilities will be needed? What are the costs? assess the need of upland amenities ( Le., laundry, showers, etc.) to support the faciiity; f.)

For example, the grants may be available through the State of Florida for "Clean Vessel Station Projects" ( sewage pump- out facilities) ranging from $ 1, 500 to $ 30, 000 depending on the need of the area.
