to the barren bay bottom, other than the seagrass communities, should result in<br />

minimal impacts to the EFH communities. EFH habitat lost during demolition,<br />

transport, <strong>of</strong> the existing pier structure will require mitigation. This habitat may be<br />

replaced by the new structure depending on structure type, size, and<br />

configuration.<br />

Pre-application meetings were held with the SWFWMD and the USACE, to solicit<br />

pre-permitting guidance related to the demo <strong>of</strong> the existing structure and the<br />

potential replacement <strong>of</strong> the pier.<br />

Pre-application meetings were held with<br />

SWFWMD on May 3, 2011 and June 4, 20012. The USACE pre-application<br />

meetings were held on June 3, 2011 and June 7, 2012. Meeting summaries<br />

were prepared and are available for all the noted meetings. Both regulatory<br />

agencies stressed avoidance <strong>of</strong> seagrass and EFH habitat to facilitate the<br />

permitting process.<br />
