This property is the closest to the state pier facility with direct access to the facility.</p><p>Terminate the Departments MOA with CTDEP to operate a public boat launch within the port security area and port district. </p><p>Purchase/Lease a mobile port crane. (Identify model suitable for facility)</p><p>PHASE NO. 1:</p><p>Contract an environmental consultant to conduct sediment sampling and testing. Prior testing was to -37’ depth, new plan is to go to -42’ on the east side of state pier. Suitability has been determined; disposal has to be confined aquatic disposal (CDF) or upland.  Develop sample plan  Determine disposal method (CDF)  Develop dredge plan for entire facility (Phase 1 &2)  Permit Level and re-grade existing lay down areas for dust control and standing water concerns. </p><p>Relocate and improve main access road.  Improve turning radius  Additional truck queuing lanes  Partial removal of northeast section hill area (grading plan)  New gate/guard house</p><p>Bulkhead between NECR Pier and State Pier.  Increase lay down area  CDF for dredge material and hill material</p><p>Sheet pile around State Pier starting from east wing, east side, pier head, and west side to new bulkhead.</p><p>Extend the quay wall bulkhead north.</p><p>Remove existing dolphin piles and platforms.</p><p>Outside of TIGER III GRANT Dredge partial facility.  Quay wall  Three side’s state pier  Dewater and treat sediment place in CDF</p><p>PHASE NO. 2:</p><p>Renovate NECR Pier Sheet Pile footprint to westerly property line Backfill behind sheet pile, raise grade of NECR Pier Re-establish rail line on NECR Pier Upgrade lighting Outside of TIGER III GRANT Dredge balance of facility place in CDF</p><p>PHASE NO. 3:</p><p>Remove, re-grade and level entire northeast side of facility (grading plan).  Remove existing access road and retaining wall  Cap sediment in CDF</p><p>Demolition of administration Building, cargo warehouse, and maintenance garage.</p><p>Final pave all open storage areas complying with environmental storm water runoff management practices.</p>
