Jones, Robert N SWG From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: MIKESKIPPER54@aol.com Monday, August 11, 2014 6:55 PM Jones, Robert N SWG info@bryangulley.com; todd@freedomfitness.com; drbgulley@aol.com [EXTERNAL) Re: SWG-2014-00460 Public Notice Letter from TPWD (UNCLASSIFIED) Robert, please note our comments to the asked questions. 1. Lease terms have been agreed to and returned to the GLO. We are waiting final lease which they say we should receive soon. 2. There are NO sea grass' in location of moorings to be installed. Moorings will be in deep water and will protect the shoreline from damage currently being done by barges. 3. Emergency pollution action plan will be in place and APPROVED by Coast Guard prior to accepting any barges into our mooring fleet. This is REQUIRED as part of our USCG Emergency Safety Plan. This will be a 24 hour manned operation. We will have enough 18"0il Spill Response Boom to completely encircle an entire tier of barges. 4. Moorings will be determined by a state licensed MARINE ENGINEER. Usually the case is to be driven into the mud slowly. This is a slow and deliberate process which will be closely monitored by crew. We hope this answers your questions presented by the Texas Parks and Wildlife. V/R Mike cc/Dr. Bryan Gulley I Todd Pietsch In a message dated 8/11/2014 4:35:54 P.M.
