APPLICATION FORMS AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO DOCKS AND A BARGE LANDING ON GREAT ST. JAMES ISLAND U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS PREPARED FOR GREAT ST. JIM, LLC.

Henry Commissioner Department of Planning and Natural Resources Cyril E. King Airport Terminal, Second Floor St. Thomas, Virgin Islands 00802 Re: Major Water Permit Application for the Construction of a Temporary Barge Landing, an Access Dock, and a Combination Dock and Barge Landing Dear Commissioner Henry, Great St. Jim, LLC wishes to make application to the Virgin Islands Government and the Secretary to the Army for a Coastal Zone Permit to construct two docks, one of which is a combination dock and barge landing and a temporary barge landing to provide access to Great St. James Island. A temporary barge landing is being proposed on the northwestern facing beach. This site is to the west of the sand pond and the associated wetlands. This a shoreline ramp which is 25'wide and 40' in length extends to the Mean Water Line (MWL). Two bollards will be placed to either side of the ramp and two moorings will be installed 75' offshore on either side of the ramp in just over 7' of water depth. The moorings will be installed using helix anchors and will use floating lines as to not disturb the seafloor when not in use. The landing is free of both coral and seagrass colonization, this landing can be quickly constructed and utilized while the combination dock and barge landing on the southeastern side of the island is constructed. The western dock is proposed on the northern end of Christmas Cove. Historically there was a dock in this location and there are still old concrete piles lying in the shallow water. The proposed dock will be 10' in width and 195' in length extending 187' from MLW and 193' from mean high water (MHW). The dock will connect to an access slab 12' in length and 2' thick. All the ESA listed coral species within the area were located and the dock footprint avoids all ESA listed species. The dock extends beyond the nearshore hardbottom to a depth of 15' out in the uncolonized sand to allow for safe dockage for deeper vessels. The southern dock is located off the point closest to Little St. James. Again, all the ESA corals were located and the dock was designed to avoid these corals. The dock is "L." shaped and is 20' wide (to allow for barge landing) and 150' in length extending 141' from MLW and 148' from MHW. The "L" then turns east and extends 100' by 20'. A wave attenuating/reef creating system is proposed beneath the dock which will allow for more protected docking inside the dock when seas from the south are rough. The dock has 9' of water depth off the southern end and 7' to 8' on the inside of the "L". The dock has been designed so that barges can approach and land on the end of the dock while vessels can dock along the "L.". The existing dock in Shallow Bay which is not permitted by the USACE in its current configuration will be removed upon completion of a usable new dock. It is understood that your approval of the renewal must be first obtained by virtue of the authority vested in you by Act No. 4248 of the Virgin Islands Code. Your favorable endorsement is, therefore, respectfully requested. EFTA00802603 We also respectfully request that this application be forwarded to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Antilles District, Annex Building, Fundacion Angel Ramos, 2nd Floor, Suite 202, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Ave. #383, San Juan, PR 00918 for their review and approval. Early advice concerning your decision in this matter will be appreciated.

There is currently a small pile-supported dock located within Shallow Bay on the north side of the island. The bay is very shallow and vessels accessing the dock have damaged the shallow seagrass beds within the bay. At one time, there had been a concrete bulkhead at the shoreline with a small floating dock. The previous owner submitted an application for the existing dock which was approved by DPNR's Division of Coastal 2 EFTA00802625 Zone Management, but was not approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers due to objections by National Marine Fisheries because of the shallowness of the bay. The dock was constructed by the previous owner despite not receiving the federal permit and notices were issued by the USACE requesting the removal of the unpermitted structure. The dock however was never removed. The applicant, understands the issues with the existing dock and is proposing to remove the dock as soon as another dock is constructed and usable. A detailed study was done around the entire island to determine suitable locations for dock location. All ESA listed corals were located and docks and barge landings were designed to avoid these corals. A temporary barge landing is being proposed on the northwestern facing beach. This site is to the west of the salt pond and the associated wetlands. This a shoreline ramp which is 25 feet (ft) wide and 40ft in length extends to the Mean Water Line. The landing is free of both coral and seagrass colonization. The landing is excellent for short term transfer of material or equipment. The site is well protected from normal wave action but is periodically impacted by wave action from ferries which travel through current cut between Great St. James and St. Thomas. The wakes from these vessels make it an unattractive site for mooring a barge for any length of time at the site. This landing can be quickly constructed and utilized while the combination dock and barge landing on the southeastern side of the island is constructed. The western dock is proposed on the northern end of Christmas Cove. Historically there was a dock in this location and there are st
