As outlined herein, this project will provide a needed transient boating facility and recreational amenities in a location with very limited public access to the water. Over the past 12 years the City has invested $3 million at this property through land acquisitions, clean-up and infrastructure improvements. The 2017 SHIPP award was a positive step forward to help the City continue the momentum and work towards realizing our ultimate vision of an active and passive waterfront park and public boating facility. Our 2019 applications will assist us in further realizing this vision and complement the State?s investments into New London Harbor. The 2017 SHIPP grant has enabled us to ?nalize the dock design and coordinate permit requirements with CT DEEP. We will be in a position to bid the project at approximately the time this grant award and corresponding closing will occur. With private investment occurring along Thames Street and the State?s grant award to Thames River Innovation Place for a Thames Street Master Plan, the dock improvements will be an important step in implementing an economic development strategy adjacent to New London Harbor. As further discussed within our application, a physical hurdle the project faces is to provide pedestrian and handicap accessibility to the dock facility. To accomplish this, signi?cant earthwork is required by importing ?ll material to build a handicap accessible walkway that is less than 5% in slope. To that end, we have submitted a second application to make these improvements while enhancing the enjoyment of the Thames River. When complete, this will be a gateway for visitors arriving by the Thames River Heritage Park Water Taxi and private vessels. Thank you for taking the time to review our applications.

CPA Deadline-Ratino-Selection June 24, 2rO19 (CPA guard Meetinq) City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch Project Description The City of Groton (City) is requesting funds to construct an eight (8) slip transient boating dock with handicap accessible kayak launch at the City owned park overlooking the Thames River on Thames Street. The facility will accommodate 26’ length vessels with space for dinghies. The facility will consist of concrete floating docks and fingers with steel piles, security lighting, water and electric service, and handicap accessible (removable) gangway. The City Park consists of two parcels, upper and lower as depicted below. The City is completing the full engineering and bid specifications for this dock facility which was funded by a prior SHIPP grant and bid documents will be ready for advertising upon award of this grant. This project complements the additional SHIPP grant application also filed by the City of Groton and titled Application 2 of 2: Dock Accessibility Improvements and Waterfront Park . This latter application will fund safe handicap access from the public right of way and on-street parking to the dock facility via the park’s lower parcel and prepare designs for expanded parking upon the park’s upper parcel to support the dock and recreational water access. The City received authorization under CT DEEP permit #201306086-MG and New England Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) permit #NAE-2013-1476 to re-build the existing pier in-kind to match its previous configuration. These permits are still valid and are included in Appendix A. An extension to this permit was recently received and is also provided in the appendix. The City has finalized coordination with CT DEEP to ensure the improvements meet the requirements of the existing Certificate of Permission (COP). CT DEEP has indicated that the design meets the requirements and said correspondence is provided in Appendix B. Location of Proposed Dock Park Lower Parcel Park Upper Parcel Thames River 7 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch As discussed further in this application, the City is undergoing a redevelopment plan for the Thames Street corridor, upon which this harbor improvement project is situated. During this study, an online survey was conducted to determine the highest priority desires of the public, with public waterfront and dock access ranking the second most important. Therefore, the Thames Street marina will contribute to the overall economic viability and redevelopment of Thames Street. The summary of this survey is provided below. Results of the online survey from the Thames Street Master Plan. Because of limited public waterfront access and the positive impact waterfront access will have upon economic development and redevelopment of Thames Street, the City has prioritized that the docks and waterfront be handicap accessible from the Thames Street. Thus, the complementing second application for park improvements has also been submitted. As part of the City’s overall goal of making the property more attractive for public access and waterfront recreation, including transient boating and kayaking, the City is proposing to make modifications to the authorized dock configuration that would be eligible for a Certificate of Permission from CT DEEP and produce a total of eight (8) yearly and transient slips. These modifications include proposing a configuration that is comprised of a floating main dock, accessed by a pier and handicap accessible gangway An EZ-Dock system as proposed under this application. extending from the existing bulkhead; with finger 8 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch floats extending from the sides of the main float (see plans provided). These changes would make berthing at the facility more convenient and attractive, as vessel tie-up would be possible at all tides without the need for access ladders. View of the Thames River Heritage Park Water Taxi, owned by the City of Groton; Thames Street, Fort Griswold State Park and Historic Groton Bank are depicted in the background, all within walking distance from the proposed dock facility. This facility may also provide for a permanent home to the City’s harbor master, who currently does not have a permanent slip and ‘borrows’ from a local marine business. Furthermore, the facility is envisioned to be home to the Thames River Heritage Park Water Taxi. The taxi is owned by the City and it presently utilizes the Thames Landing dock just to the north and owned by the State. This new City owned facility will provide a welcoming gateway for visitors using the Water Taxi as they visit Thames Street, Fort Griswold State Park, the Groton Bank National Historic District and enjoy the new waterfront park which would be funded by the complementing grant application. This work is directly related to the City’s long-term plan for the site, which is to develop a passive waterfront park and recreational boating access facility. The Conceptual Waterfront Master Plan communicates this future vision by demonstrating the site history, scope of the Project, future build-out (8 transient slips, kayak launching float), and site context. To realize the site’s potential, the City has invested $3.0 M by completing the following critical development tasks:  90% complete construction documents for the dock facility  Completed property survey and appraisal  Acquired the property from a private owner  Abated the property and razed the buildings/appurtenances 9 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch  Installed on-street parking  Installed a street-side retaining wall with access stair  Graded and vegetated areas along the retaining wall  Removed the deteriorated stone bulkhead and installed a new steel sheetpile bulkhead As previously stated in the 2017 SHIPP Grant application, it is estimated that the facility will create twofour new jobs in the form of marina attendants and maintenance personnel. In addition, the City will hire a local marine contractor to perform yearly and on-call maintenance activities and which funds will be budgeted annually, likely within the Recreation and Parks operating budget. Master Plan, Phase I Construction & Approvals As noted herein, the vision for the property has been an expanded public marina owned and operated by the City with waterfront park providing safe handicap accessible access to the facility. Below represents the full buildout of the marina portion and highlights the location of the Phase I improvements to be funded by this grant application and currently under design. On the following page is a more detailed plan of the current phase I design and permit drawings are provided in Appendix C. Phase I Phase I Area of Access Improvements: See other application The master plan envisions up to 40 slips with outside dock structures providing additional wave attenuation. 10 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch As indicated previously, CT DEEP has issued concurrence on the design of the facility and meeting COP requirement. Permitting will be complete and as will final construction documentation by the time this grant closing is anticipated. Further, all local approvals have been received which include CGS 8-24 referral to the Planning Commission. The improvements are exempt from local zoning as a municipal improvement and final reviews are only required by the City Planner and, as applicable the Building Official. Please see section drawing below and plan view on following page for dock designs. The above image represents a cross section of the proposed dock system. See next page for plan view. The image to the left depicts a representative example of the concrete floating dock system and fingers to be constructed. 26’ length vessels will be accommodated with adequate water depths. 11 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch 12 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch 13 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch 14 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch 15 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch Project Costs The costs include funds to pay for the construction of the facility and a coastal consulting firm to assist with construction oversight. This work is a continuation of the development first envisioned when the property was purchased by the City in 2007 and draws upon the work completed via the 2017 SHIPP funds for design and engineering.

A hurdle to overcome is the topographic change from the public ROW to the Thames River. This is a common challenge throughout Thames Street and depicted in the image to the left at the City Park where the dock facility is proposed. The complementing grant application will help overcome this hurdle. 16 THAMES STREET HARBOR CITY OF GROTON FISHING BOAT LAUNCH MARINA BOAT PUMP-OUT SITE FERRY WATER TAXI TRANSIENT BOAT MOORINGS CONTEXT A BOATING FACILITY SUPPORTED BY NEIGHBORING MARINE SERVICES THAMES STREET HARBOR CITY OF GROTON SITE CONTEXT B BOATING FACILITY COMPLEMENTS NEARBY COMMERCIAL USES & PUBLIC CORRIDOR City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch Marine Related Services The City of Groton has very limited public waterfront access, let-alone public boating facilities. Once constructed, the Project will provide HC accessible public access to the water and recreational opportunities in a location dominated by privately owned waterfront land. The Project will enhance the use of the site by providing vessel berthing, both transient and perhaps long term for tour or charter opportunities, including the Water Taxi. And when park access improvements are complete (see additional grant application) handicap accessible access to the Thames River will be realized. It is anticipated that the facility will provide standard marine services, such as: kayaking launching, dockside power & water, and upland trash disposal. Restroom facilities may not be provided directly on-site but, long-term, provided at the residence across the street and if acquired by the City. The City has already made commitments to supporting and accommodating water dependent uses along this portion of the Thames River by installing a public vessel pump-out at the adjacent Pollution Abatement Facility and instituting the Thames River Heritage Park Water Taxi, as previously noted. The successful development of the project site for waterfront public access and transient berthing will encourage future development at other waterfront locations within the City of Groton, both public and private, as there will be greater awareness of the accessibility to and viability of recreational boating access along the Thames River shoreline. Vision Statement The Vision is to create the first municipally owned waterfront park and public dock facility that is a destination for visitors and residents.

With more than 25,000 linear feet of frontage on the Thames River and Long Island Sound, the City is home to water based businesses, the most notable being Electric Boat a division of General Dynamics and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, but also businesses and uses such as Mystic Oyster, Hel Cat fishing charters, and Mohawk Northeast. However, the City does not have a municipally owned marine related facility and there is no handicap accessible access to the water. A view of a portion of Thames Street where local businesses once thrived. While they remain, success is not what it was and the City is working to revise the corridor by establishing zoning mechanisms to promote redevelopment and create destinations to draw visitors to the area, such as the dock facility and park. In 2005, the City purchased the two parcels of land which are the subject to improvements associated with this application, one on the waterfront with an existing dock and finger piers the other located across the street at the base of Fort Griswold. The location of this site, at the southern end of a significant and commercially zoned district along Thames Street, meant the redevelopment and use of the site would lead to sustainable commercial redevelopment on Thames Street. The development goal for this Thames Street marina and its twin parcel has always been to provide:  Access and limited amenities to and for the boating public  Slips for transient boats  Slips for long term private boat charters or tour boats  Space for kayak and canoe launches  Access for fishing  Open passive recreation space with areas set aside for picnics, events, festivals, informal and formal gatherings 20 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch The Thames Street Harbor site offers the City a unique opportunity to provide diverse activities that will draw people to use the facilities and attend the events offered at the site, takes advantage of the passengers on the Thames River Heritage Park Water Taxi allows easy walking access to the Thames Street commercial district and the numerous assets and resources nearby. Current Conditions Currently, the waterfront site includes the recently constructed steel sheetpile bulkhead, with a concrete cap and safety fence, and the existing timber pier. The water depths along the immediate shoreline range from approximately -4.0’ to -10.0’ at mean low water. Such water depths are conducive to providing full tidal boating access without the need for dredging. Providing such functionality increases the attractiveness of the site for transient recreational boating. In addition, the site is located only 500’ east of the Federal Navigation Channel in the Thames River, allowing for convenient, full tidal access to/from Long Island Sound. The upland of the site is located directly off of Thames Street, a road that runs parallel to the Thames River which, has new public sidewalks, multiple shops and restaurants, and various opportunities for new/future commercial establishments.

The actions taken thus far in support of the Project include:  Property acquisition  Site demolition  Planning  Bulkhead design  State and federal permitting  Coastal Site Plan Approval from the City Planning and Zoning Commission  Building Permit issuance from the City Building Department  Construction of the steel sheetpile bulkhead. The City approved these improvement measures specifically for the purpose of laying the groundwork for the future development of a passive waterfront park and boating access facility. The City has demonstrated their continued backing of the Project by submitting letters of the support from the following (see Appendix H):  Office of the Mayor (see Cover Letter)  Planning & Zoning Commission  Economic Development Commission  Harbor Management Commission 22 View of the site from Thames Street looking west and conditions of existing dock. (Winter 2019) City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch Leverages Other Funding The City has spent $2,990,299.94 since 2005 to develop the site. The City is now requesting $652,332.80 from the CPA’s SHIPP grant program to construct the facility with a match of 20% as required. This high already expended-to-requested funds ratio demonstrates the City’s continued commitment to develop the property. Moving forward, the Harbor Improvement funds will help leverage the money spent to date into an initial viable boating configuration (the Project, phase 1) and eventually the complete buildout of the Thames Street marine facility as represented on the enclosed conceptual plans. From prior research completed by the City in 2017, and still relevant at this time, all phases of this facility will provide convenient recreational boating opportunities and generate income from boat slip rentals ($70-$100/foot per season), transient slip rentals ($3/foot per day), and kayak rentals ($20-$35 per hour per kayak), which will provide a larger economic and development impact for not only the immediate Thames Street corridor, but the City of Groton and greater Thames River waterway as a whole. Furthermore, the proximity of this site to the Fort Street State dock where the Thames River Heritage Park Water Taxi drops off and picks up passengers, also leverages the funds spent by the State to establish this park and dock. In addition to assessing how the grant funds would leverage both past and future funding, it was necessary to evaluate the financial impact if the grant was not awarded for the Project. Not proceeding with the waterfront development of the site would be a lost opportunity cost for a City without a municipally owned docking facility. Moreover, the City would lose the ability to leverage the almost 3 million dollars expended to date. 23 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch Economic and Market Viability A survey of twelve marinas or docking facilities in Southeastern CT by the City of Groton and conducted in 2017 for the prior SHIPP Grant Application, yielded information that guided the decision of the City of Groton to seek funds from the Connecticut Port Authority (CPA) to re-develop an existing dock at the project site. We believe this two-year old study remains relevant. Based on this research, the City believes that there is a demand for transient spaces on both sides of the Thames River. The future construction of the Coast Guard museum in New London adjacent to City Pier, and the activation of the Water Taxi as part of the State Heritage Park, which docks just 50 yards north of the project site, are just two new developments in the area that have the potential to dramatically increase the attractiveness of this region to the boating community. The dramatic increase in employees forecasted by Electric Boat over the next three years also suggests demand for boat slips and boating destinations, nearby, will surge. Re-designing and construction of the dock at the site, providing space for transient boat slips and public use of and access to docks and the water for fishing, canoeing and kayaking appears to not only provide a much needed public asset but one that is economically viable as well. The survey yielded the following key information: 1. Regionally, the growth in boating, long term dock space requests and the marina industry in general since 2012 has been slow but steady in both sales and demand. This data is supported by a study done by Pell Research, although the recovery in Southeastern Connecticut was behind that of the rest of the country. 2. Reservations of rented slips have increased slowly but steadily since 2014. Most marinas noted that they have recently expanded their operations in the last year in anticipation of growth in 2017 and beyond. Larger, more expensive Marinas offering many amenities and services noted the most recovery in demand and income. Smaller, less expensive marinas have noted a slower improvement. 3. Municipal docks have noticed an uptick in demand, although several note that they don’t offer permanent spaces or amenities equivalent to private marinas. Better marketing and more local events were thought to have produced this growth. 4. Transient Dock Space is in demand. Seven marinas interviewed, stated they believe there will continue to be increasing demand for transient dock space moving forward. (The other 5 marinas do not offer transient slips or moorings). While SECT is not typically a destination for most boaters, there has been an increase in the demand for transient spaces for 2-5 days. Most private marinas do not dedicate slips for transient overnight stays. Rather they re-purpose existing slips when the resident boat is away. Municipality owned docking areas are largely earmarked for the transient boating population. 5. Moorings are not an unmet demand. None of the marinas interviewed believed that there is an unmet demand for transient moorings. In fact, neighboring New London has a large mooring field (41 spaces) that remains largely empty except for one large festival weekend during the summer. 24 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch Consistent, 7-day a week launch service and dedicated dingy tie ups are important services to offer if the moorings are to be economically viable. 6. Floating docks are more financially supportable than fixed. All surveyed agreed that on a tidally influenced body of water, floating docks were recommended due to maintenance costs and ease of use by boaters. 7. Accommodations for fishing/crabbing etc. are recommended. The survey found that the majority interviewed noted that providing access for fishing, crabbing and shell fishing enhances their business. The survey yielded the following data. The average stay for transient boats is 2.5 days. The average price charged is $2.75/foot with nearly all amenities being additional charges. Amenities offered range from water, power, on shore bathrooms, launch service, dock space for dinghy’s, to repair services, gas/diesel, private showers, laundry facilities, pump out services, store, and on shore pools, restaurants or markets. Timeline to Implement the Project It is anticipated that the Project will take approximately one-year to construct following grant closing. Below is an estimated timeline of all project steps. Project Schedule Submit Grant Proposal Close on Grant Bid Project Award Contract to Successful Bidder Construction Project Close-out Date Completed June 2019 December 2019 January 2020 April 2020 April – October 2020 October 2020 Compatibility with Harbor Management Plan The City of Groton Harbor Management Plan (HMP) (see Appendix D) indicates that the project site is located within an area designated as Area A: Groton Bank. Section 3.2 of the HMP states that a goal of the plan is to encourage economic revitalization of this area by making provisions for transient vessels. By providing transient berthing slips, the Project promotes and encourages recreational boating along the Thames River shoreline. This will allow water borne visitors to patronize the restaurants and shops located along Thames Street, which increases economic activity and, in turn, will lead to even greater demand for transient slips along the Thames River shoreline. In addition, section 4.2 of the HMP provides goals for Area A of encouraging public access and passive recreation and encouraging accommodation of transient vessels. The Project is consistent with both of these policies by providing transient berthing space at the site, which encourages public access and passive recreation along the shoreline. 25 City of Groton Thames Street Marina: Transient Vessel Dock and Handicap Accessible Kayak Launch Supports State’s Maritime Policies The Project supports the State’s maritime policy of promoting the recreational use of Connecticut’s ports and harbors. By providing transient berthing slips, the Project promotes and encourages recreational boating along the Thames River shoreline. This will allow water borne visitors to patronize the restaurants and shops located along Thames Street, which increases economic activity and, in turn, will lead to even greater demand for transient slips along this side of the Thames River. In addition, the Connecticut Coastal Management Act (Connecticut General Statutes (CGS) sections 22a90 through 22a-113c), which governs both State and local regulatory decisions in Connecticut’s coastal area, has several policies that directly relate to and encourage efforts to increase recreational boating access in the State’s coastal waters. Specifically, CGS section 22a-92(b)(1)(G) establishes a State goal of encouraging increased recreational boating access to coastal waters, where feasible. The Project is consistent with this policy by modifying the existing pier to provide for, better accommodate, and encourage recreational boating access to the Thames River shoreline. CGS section 22a-92(b)(1)(I), among other goals, promotes the upgrading of existing facilities that serve recreational boating. The City currently has authorization to rebuild the existing pier in-kind. However, the Project is to upgrade the facility so that it attracts transient recreational boating access by providing more convenient means of berthing and access to the main dock. Therefore, the Project promotes this maritime related policy. Finally, CGS section 22a-92(b)(2)(G) encourages the use of existing developed shorefront for recreational boating uses through State and local planning and promotional programs. As the Project is the result of a thoroughly evaluated local planning effort to encourage recreation boating access and is requesting State funding that promotes such uses, it is evident that the Project promotes this maritime related policy. 26 Appendix A Connecticut Department of ENERGY R-i ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 79 Elm Street Hartford, CT 06106?5127 Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer Date: 3-6 JO \Ct Barbara Goodrich City of Groton 295 Meridian Street Groton, CT 06340 RE: Extension Request for Authorization 311, 343 and 353 Thames Street, Groton Dear Ms. Goodrich: We have received a letter dated January 22, 2019 from your representative David Provencher of Coastline Consulting Development, LLC requesting a one-year extension of time beyond the April 16, 2019 expiration date to complete the work authorized under the above-referenced authorization.

SEPTEMBER 6. 2013 FILE NO: 12-014 gauufW?d zorl FILE COPY ATTACHMENT FILE NUMBER: NAB-201 3?1476 MFR: The applicant requested that this proiect be reissued under the new 2016 General Permit. The work is eligible for authorization under GP 2 of the new General Permit. The proiect was not brought back to a JP meeting as the proposed work has not changed. I The purpose of this project is to replace existing bulkheads at 311, 343 353 Thames Street in order to provide shoreline ?ood and erosion protection at The City of Groton?s Municipal Pollution Abatement Facility and City open space parcels. Work also involves the retention and repairs to the existing pier at 343 353 Thames Street damaged during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. The current sheet pile bulkhead has deteriorated to the point where storms overtop the wall and its integrity has been compromised due to erosion. These conditions have created a situation where tidal water routinely penetrates or overtops the bulkhead, leading to sinkholes causing the asphalt slope to undermine on the immediate landward side. The facility?s sewage digestion tanks are located only 15' ??om the top of the asphalt slope, full failure of the slope could undermine the digestion tanks posing as a signi?cant threat to municipal infrastructure, as well as to water quality in the Thames River due to release of untreated ef?uent. The project applicant proposes the following activities?expected to last 6 months: 3 Thames Street: ?Oversheeting of 93 LF steel sheetpile bulkhead -Extension of a 12? drain pipe through the new oversheeting ~Retention of 11? cy sf) of stone riprap (eastern corner of property) 343 353 Thames Street: ~Retain and repair an existing ?xed pier and ?ve 3 ?nger piers (1,630 sf; 110? beyond MHW), including 3?pile dolphin cluster and two tie-off piles -Remove/replace in-kind and in?place deteriorated piles, split caps, stringers, and decking on existing pier ~Remove 216 cy sf) of stone rip rap -Remove the existing 248 LF concrete and stone bulkhead, and replace with new 248 LF steel sheetpile bulkhead, within existing footprint, and 11? return on the southern end.

Permit Number: NAB-2013 -1476 CT DEEP File Number: 2013 City of Groton Attn: Barbara Goodrich 295 Meridian Street Groton, CT 06340 Dear Ms. Goodrich: We have reviewed your previously approved project to replace existing bulkheads at 311, 343 353 Thames Street in order to provide shoreline ?ood and erosion protection at The City of Groton?s Municipal Pollution Abatement Facility and City open space parcels. Work also involves the retention and repairs to the existing pier at 343 353 Thames Street damaged during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. This was described in detail in our letter to you dated, March 25, 2014, and is shown on the attached plans, entitled OF GROTON PROPERTIES 311, 343 353 THAMES STREET, GROTON, in 13 sheets dated ?September 6, 2013.? We have determined that the proposed activity, which includes a discharge of dredged or ?ll material into waters or wetlands, will have only minimal individual and cumulative impacts on waters of the United States, including wetlands. Therefore, this work is authorized under General Permit #2 of the attached Federal permit known as the Connecticut General Permits and must be performed in accordance with its terms and conditions and also in compliance with the previous special conditions: The new sheetpile bulkhead shall not encroach more than 18? waterward of the existing bulkhead. 2. No temporary ?ll is to be placed waterward of the high tide line (HTL), including in tidal wetlands. . You are responsible for complying with all of the requirements. Please review the attached GPs carefully, in particular the general conditions. You should ensure that whoever does the work fully understands the requirements and that a copy of the permit document and this authorization letter are at the project site throughout the time the work is underway. This authorization expires on August 19, 2021, unless the GPs are modi?ed, suspended, or revoked before then. You must commence or be under contract to commence the work authorized herein by that expiration date and complete the work by August 19, 2022. If not, you must contact this of?ce to determine the need for further authorization before beginning or continuing the activity. We recommend you contact us before this permit expires to discuss a permit reissuance. If you change the plans or construction methods for work within our jurisdiction, please contact us immediately to discuss modi?cation of this authorization. This of?ce must approve any changes before you undertake them. This authorization requires you to complete and return the attached Work Start Notification Form to this of?ce at least two weeks before the anticipated starting date. This determination becomes valid only after the Connecticut Department of Energy Environmental Protection (DEEP) issues or waives the following applicable State permits: Certi?cate of Permission General Permit Tidal Wetlands Permit; Structures and Dredging and Filling Permit; Water Quality Certi?cation (WQC) as required under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act; and/or a Section 307 Coastal Zone Management Act consistency determination. In the event the DEEP denies any of these permits, this determination becomes null and void. The address of the DEEP of?ce for your area is provided in the attached GP. This permit does not obviate the need to obtain other Federal, state, or local authorizations required by law, as listed in Section 2 of the GPs. Performing work not speci?cally authorized by this determination or failing to comply with any special condition(s) provided above or all the terms and conditions of the GPs may subject you to the enforcement provisions of our regulations. We continually strive to improve our customer service. In order for us to better serve you, we would appreciate your completing our Customer Service Survey located at survey.

It rs the objective of harbor management planning to evaluate the 'e?'ect of creating, often uncoordinated, regulatory programs (municipal, state and federal government) in light ofthe unique constraints existing in the the waterfront, to evaluate potential problems, and to identify local maritime goals and shfcecti vec,and then create an? integrated matrag?einent framework designed to accomplish the stated goals and objectives through coordination between local, state and federal govemmant activities. A HarborManagremcnt Plan is net intended to replace the mimicipal comprehensive Ian.

In addition, this portion ofthe shoret'ront contains two recreational facilities, the? City- owned Bactern Point Beach, and the Shennecossett Beach Club a private organization. In the, rectdential area, the shore is rocky. There are a few moorings here for boats; which belong to the - pmtyowners. the. ?22m recently conveyed a parcel of waterfront land extending from Shore: Avenue to the Thames 2, River and provides approximately 1000 feet of shorefront access. Eastern Point Beach is used principally for swimming but also for ?shing and scuba diving during the seasons when the sw1mming areas are closed. There are no public boat launching facilities in this area. Shennecossett Beach Club is a private club, the principal function of which is water-related Sports, swimming, but there also is dinghy and board boat sailing the beach. The rocky shorein this area lends itself to lobstering. There are lobster pots here. Scuba divers also take lobsters. There is also some water skiing and personal watercraft activity. There are two ponds or conservation areas along Shennecossett Road, one on the Beach Club property and one on pr0perty belonging to the University of Connecticut. These areas perform important drainage functions, as well as provide habitat for wildlife, notably shore birds. At the very southern end of the Thames Estuary is the Avery Point Branch of the University of Connecticut. At the University of Connecticut, the shoreline included in the map entitled Eastern Point Area is all open to the public. Much use _is made of it by local residents. for walking, jogging, and simply looking at the view. Sketch on page 18 illustrates Pine Island Bay to the east of Avery Point. Besides the waterfront and pier of the University of Connecticut, the shoreline here contains major boating facilities: the . Shennecossett Yacht Club, Pine Island Marina, and the state-owned Bayberry Lane boat launch area. Pine Island Bay contains the most important mooring area in the City, which will be described in more detail in later-sections of this Plan. This area is the most active in the City with respect to recreational boating, and also supports the waterfront facilities of the University of Connecticut. At the university property are docked boats of Project Oceanology which are used for educational purposes by the school systems of the surrounding towns. The University of Connecticut has fair and equitable access to the water?ont and has facilities suf?cient to their needs. Also kept there are the smaller state research boats and the boats of the Coast Guard Research and Development Center. Pine Island Bay is subject to wave action from the south and southwest. . Sketch on page 19 shows the Baker Cove area. The Cove forms the eastern boundary of the City. On its east bank is the state-owned Groton-New London Airport. The Cove's western boundary is primarily residential in nature with a sprinkling of small water-related commercial activities. At the Cove's northern end is located the property of the Groton Elks Club, which contains a marina for small boats. The boats must be small because of the shallowness which extends to the Thomas Road Bridge. The Cove is very shallow and is thus only navigable by small boats. However, the low marshy shores have much natural beauty and constitute an important natural resource area. There is a Public Access area in the subdivision on Jupiter Point Road. To the north of the railroad bridge and the Thomas Road Bridge, the Cove narrows to become Birch Plain Creek. The Creek borders a very important City-owned conservation area of salt marshes. This is a fragile and important environmental area. Access by land is available on four properties: The City owned Birch Plain Creek Conservation Area, the City-owned open space area at the end of Paul Revere Road and Nathan Hale Road, West Side Junior High School, and the Town-owned open space north of West Side Junior High School. All of these properties are utilized as passive Open space areas and for teaching. The private properties along the creek all contain salt marsh areas. These salt marshes continue all the way to Poquonnock Road as shown on Sketch on page 20. Sketch also shows the multifamily housing areas which border the Cove, and the property of the West Side Middle School. The salt marshes on this property constitute an important teaching resource. . 23 Channels The main New London Harbor runs to the west of the City's waterfront, as shown on Sketches project depth of forty feet as far north as the property of the Electric Boat Corporation, about two and one-half miles north of the southern extremity of the City at Avery Point. In addition, as shown on Sketch D, Pine Island Bay, there exists the passageway between the special anchorage areas. The entrance to the bay is marked with federally maintained buoys. Sketch shows the existing natural channel in? Baker Cove. Anchorages Within the City's waters, there are no major anchorages as distinct from mooring areas for small boats. Nautical Chart 13213, published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, shows ?iree general anchorage areas to the west of the New London Harbor. That channel is located in too close proximity to the Groton shore of the Thames River to permit anchoring by large vessels adjacent to the City?s water?ont. The basis for'navigating and anchoring in Pine Island Bay (the cove north of Pine Island) in the City of Groton is contained in the U. S. Coast Pilot 2 (Cape Cod to Sandy Hook). For reference these regulations and piloting information are quoted herein. . Part 110 Anchorage Regulations (89) Section 110.1 General. The areas described in Subpart of this part are designated as special anchorage areas pursuant to the authority contained in an act amending laws for preventing collisions of vessels approved April 22, 1940 (54 Stat. 150); Article 11 of section 1 of the Act of June 7, 1897, as amended (30 Stat. 98; 33 U.S.C.180), Rule?9 of section 1 of the Act of February 8, 1895, as amended (28 Stat. 647; 33 U.S.C. 258), and Rule Numbered 13 of section 4233 of the Revised Statutes as amended (33 U.S.C. 322). Vessels not more than 65 feet in length, when at anchor in any special anchorage area, shall not be required to carry or exhibit the white anchor lights required by the Navigation Rules. (90) The anchorage grounds for vessels described in Subpart of this part are established and the rules and regulations in relation thereto adopted, pursuant to the authority contained in section 7 of the Act .of March 4, 1915, as amended (38 Stat. 1053; 33 U.S.C. (91) All bearings in the part are referred to true meridian. (92) Geographic coordinates expressed in' terms of latitude or longitude, or both, are not intended for plotting on maps or charts whose referenced horizontal datum is the North Arnerican Datum of 1983 (NAD 83), unless such geographic coordinates are expressly labeled NAD 83. Geographic coordinates without the NAD 83 reference may be plotted on maps or charts referenced to NAD 83 only after application of the appropriate corrections that are published On the particular map or chart being used. (93) Section 110.1a Anchorages under Ports and Waterways Safety Act. The anchorages listed in this section are regulated under the Ports and Waterways Safety Act (33 U.S.C. 1221 ,ct seq.): - (94) (1) Section 110.155 Port of new York . (95) Any person who violates any regulation issued under the Ports and Waterways Safety Act (96) (1) Is liable to a civil penalty, not to exceed $25,000 for each violation; . (97) (2) If the violation is willful, is ?ned not more than $50,000for each violation or imprisoned for not more than ?ve years, or both. (42) Pine Island Channel, northeastward ofNew London Ledge Light, between Pine Island and Black Ledge, has a rocky and very broken bottom on which the least found depth is 10 feet. It is used some by local vessels between New London Harbor and Fishers Island Sound, but should be avoided by any vessel drawing more than 10 feet. (43) Anchorages.-General and naval anchorages are in the approaches to, and in, New London Harbor. (See 110.1 and 110.147, chapter 2, for limits and regulations.) Special anchorages are in Greens Harbor and in the vicinity of the US Coast Guard Academy. (Sec 110.1 and 110.52, chapter 2, for limits and regulations.) (291) The cove indenting the mainland northward of Pine Island and eastward of Avery Point, is entered between Avery Point and westward of Pine Island. The entrance to the cove is marked by two buoys just inside and eastward of Avery Point. Depths shoal ?-om about 10 feet in the entrance to about 1 foot at the head of the cove. A breakwater, marked at its end by a private light, extends southeasterly from the east end of Avery Point. A yacht club, marina, and State launching ramp are in the cove. An unmarked rock awash is about .500 yards 060? from the former lighthouse tower at Avery Point. Berths, guest moorings, gasoline, electricity, .water, ice, marine supplies, and a l4-ton mobile hoist are available at the marina; hull and engine repairs can be made. In July 1981, a reported depth of 5 feet could be canied to the marina. (292) Special purpose buoys maintained by the City of Groton show a speed limit of 5 mph. in the area. (293) A special anchorage is in the cove. (See 110.1 and 110.51, chapter 2, for limits. and regulations.) (182) Section 110.51 Groton, Conn. The waters between an un-named cove and? Pine Island.

Vessels shall be anchored so that no part of the vessel obstructs the 135 foot wide channe1.* Temporary ?oats or buoys for marking the location of the anchor of a vessel at anchor may be used. Fixed mooring piles or stakes are prohibited. The actual width of the fairway varies from 137? to 112?. These special anchorage areas are delineated on NOAA Chart No. 13212 and 13213, Approaches to New London Harbor. They were established in 1970 and revised in June 1998 and are the result of a realization of the growing problem of a great increase of boat owners who wanted to moor in the bay. In addition, the boat launching ramp, established in 1957, showed an increase in use. The property owners abutting the bay at Jupiter Point also had to be accommodated in the mooring area if they were boat owners. - In 1972 the Shennecossett Yacht Club and Pine Island Marina established a grid layout for the boats in the bay. Generally this divided the west half 0f the bay to Shennecossett Yacht Club members, the east central part to Pine Island Marina and the east edge of the bay to the general public and Jupiter Point homeowners. This grid, for moorings and cooperating interests implemented a more formal anchorage in the bay than had been in e?'ect for some time. The present system utilizes to a maximum the limited usable anchorage area of the bay. Moorings and upland support are provided to people who would not have access to the cove otherwise. The public is accommodated with their choice of a mooring through the Pine Island Marina, Shennecossett Yacht Club, or on their own with access from the boat launch. There is a good balance among the desire of individuals to have moorings through the Pine Island Marina, Shennecossett Yacht Club, or on their own. Pine Island Man'na maintains its moorings and ground tackle. The Shennecossett Yacht Club provides recommended mooring and ground tackle speci?cations for its members on theii- individual moorings. a Mooring Areas Small Craft The most important mooring area in the City is in Pine Island Bay. There are in existence two gridded areas, one to the north of the Pine Island Bay Channel and one to the south of the fairway. Under the direction of the Harbor Master, the Shennecossett Yacht Club and Pine Island Marina have maintained the mooring grid in the western and east central parts of the bay respectively. The Shennecossett Yacht Club provides launch services and dinghy storage for its members in the bay and Pine Island Marina operates approximately 72 commercial moorings. - Table NUMBER 91 MOORINGS ISLAND BAY-AS OF 2005 Shennecossett Yacht Club 39 17.1% Pine Island Marina 70 30.7% General Public 52.2% . Total 228 Data on the number of existing moorings and their location in Pine Island Bay is based on: harbor masters' information, the records of the?Shennecossett Yacht Club and Pine Island Marina and by ?eld survey by the Harbor Management Commission.

AlmoSt?eVei-y month. of the year there is signi?cant spawning activity by one or more species known to occur here. Many sources of ?sheries information have indicated the presence of the following ?n?sh species in the Thames, many of which are also present in other city waters: porgy, weak?sh, winter ?ounder, summer ?ounder, windowpane ?ounder, rainbow smelt, bay anchovy, American e?el, fourspine stickelback, grubby, hogchoker, Atlantic silverdaice, seaboard goby, naked goby, tomcod, mummichug, striped killi?sh, striped searobin, northern searobin, northern pipe?sh, oyster toad?sh, cunner, longhorn sculpin, hake (species unknown), smelt, 'sand shark, skate, tautog, blue?sh, alewife, blueback herring and American shad. The New London Harbor basin is the subject of an anadromous ?sh restoration plan and is?one of the most productive habitats for winter ?ounder in the entire state of Connecticut. 2.6B Commercial and Recreational Fishand Shell Fisheries Recreational boating and ?shing are an extremely popular activity in all the coastal waters of the City of Groton. Where shorefront access is available, shorebased ?shermen are active. Fishermen in small boats are seen in all of the city's waters. Several ?shing charter operations also exist in the City. The New London Harbor and the area south of Shennecossett Beach, Avery Point and Pine Island Bay support both a recreational and a commercial lobster ?shery. There are at least ten commercial lobster operations which set pots in the lower New London Harbor, as well as other water of the City of Groton. Numerous recreational ?shers set pots and dive for lobsters as well. Due to poor water quality, the waters of the City of Groton are either prohibited or restricted to recreational and commercial bivalve shell?shing. Some commercial clamming andoystering occurs relaying the shell?sh to other waters for deputation. One exception is Baker Cove, where blue crabs are still harvested. Sketch on page 18 shows the two shell?sh beds in Pine Island Bay. The Spicer family shell?sh beds are 510 feet wide extending westerly from a line running from the southeast corner of the state boat launch property to a point on the east end of Pine Island. The William C. Spicer Oyster Beds are of an indeterminate area north of Pine Island. The vagueness of the description prevents an accurate portrayal of this bed. The beds were originally granted by the Town of Groton Oyster Commission to the,Spicer family members and Clyde T. Annis. Some of these were outright grants and some were leases. The HMC will accept the grants recorded in the Groton land records at face value until a court'directs otherwise. The mooring ?eld assigned to Pine Island Marina is entirely on Spicer family shell?sh beds. The owner of Pine Island Marina does not lease or, possess any shell?sh beds in Pine Island Bay. The mooring ?eld assigned to the Shennecossett Yacht Club is on areas of the bay not assigned to anyone as shell?sh beds with the exception of two moorings on the Spicer family shell?sh .beds. This has been agreed to by the owner of the shell?sh beds. Most general public moorings are on areas of the bay not assigned to anyone as shell?sh beds with the exception of several on the Spicer family shell?sh beds. Conservation, Natural Resources and Coastal Resources These are shown on Map 4 in the City's Municipal Coastal Program, a copy of which is shown on page shows the various areas and the Coastal Resources situated on them. The map shows that the Thames River shoreline is considered Developed Shorefront ?'om the northern boundary of the City as far south as the southern end of the P?zer industrial property. From there around to the 10 south and east of Jupiter Point' is considered rocIcy shorefront and modi?ed blade and escarpments with beaches and dunes at the two beaches? in the city. The shoreline of Beker Cove consists of alternating Iidal Wetlands and ?developed shore front. The shoreline of; Birch Plain Creek consists of we?ands. Pine Island is primarily rocky shore?ont with beaches and (hires oaths eastern 'end of the island. As m?nitidned above, these wetland areas are signi?cant, not onlyfor their music ecological value, but as educational, recreational and cathode resources. De?nitions are asfollows: ng modi?ed Blu?s and Escarpments: Blu?s and have been temporarily stabilized by erosion control sanctum (reveunenhme or seowoll) positioned seaward of the marine cli?' or escarpment.

In general, these lands include all areas designated as within A-zones and V?zones by FEMA. A-zones are subject to still-water ?ooding during so called ?1 00-year ?ood events.? During these lOO-year events, V-zones are subject to direct action by waves three feet or more in height. Any proposals for development in such areas should take . ?ooding potential into consideration and be built to FEMA standards. Commercial Industrial Water-Dependent Uses ?Water-dependent uses? means those uses and facilities which require direct access to, or location in, marine or tidal waters and which therefore cannot be located inland, including but not?limited to: Marinas, recreational and commercial ?shing and boating facilities, ?nfish and shell?sh processing plants, waterfront dock and port facilities, shipyards and boat building facilities, water- based recreational uses, navigation aides, basins and channels, industrial uses dependent upon water-borne transportation or requiring large volumes of cooling or process water which cannot reasonably be located or operated at an inland site and uses which provide general public access to marine or tidal waters. In the Thames Street area, as shown on Sketch A, page 15, are the following important water- dependent commercial uses: - A Whaling City Dredge and Dock Corporation a Division of Mohawk Northeast Inc. Ken StreeterBoat Launch Groton Oil Co. Marina Groton Marine Dock Carolyn Green Pier Seabird Enterprises (proposed ferry landing) Hell-Cat Dock .On-the-Thames Boatel 1 Morgan White Wharf Ed Costa Pier . J. Garbo Seafood Operations Sketch on page 16 shows the three major industrial entities of the City, which are all also water- dependent. These are, from north to south, the shipyard of the Electric Beat Corporation, the oil terminal of the Amerada Hess Corporation, where ocean-going tankers and tanker barges are off- loaded, and the chemical plant of P?zer, Inc., which also receives large deliveries of oil and uses large amounts of water from the Thames River to cool its on site power plant. Other water- dependent commercial uses are Pine Island Marina (Sketch on page and Fisheries, and other small boatyards, all shown on Sketch on page 19. Water Quality The Thames River drains 1478 In2 in Connecticut and portions of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Parts of the Thames River are heavily commercialized and industrialized. There is signi?cant waterborne traffic at marine terminals located as far North as Allyn Point, approximately 5 miles above the Gold Star Bridge. Pollution irnpacts on water quality can be classi?ed into point (easy to identify i.e. coining from a pipe or a distinct discharge point) and nonpoint (hard to identify and control) discharge sources. 12 Several of the largest single point sources of pollutants in Connecticut discharge into the New London Harbor. Point discharges in the Thames River include industrial, commercial and wastewater treatment discharges. P?zer Pharmaceutical, Hess Oil, Electric Boat, Dow Chemical, the Naval Submarine Base, Connecticut Light and Power are among the sources _of leachate and wastewater discharges. Additionally, there are four municipal and one state owned Wastewater treatment facilities that discharge directly into the Thames as well as numerous wastewater treatment facilities in the upper river tributaries, including, the Norwich Wastewater Treatment facility on the Yantic River which is a major contributor of ef?uent. Nonpoint discharge sources in the Thames River and other waters of the City of Groton include contaminated groundwater, fertilizer runoff, stonnwater runoff, runoff from marinas, farms, construction, and paved surfaces. Also, there are problems from such sources as parking lot drains, boating and other shorefront activities. Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution, unlike pollution from industrial and sewage . . treatment plants, comes ?om many diffuse sources. Water washing over the land hether from rain, car washing or the watering of crops and lawns ?picks up an array of contaminants, including oil, grease and sediment ?om roadways, agricultural chemicals ?om lawns, and nutrients and toxic materials ?om urban and suburban areas including bacteria ?om livestock, pet wastes, and faulty septic systems. This runoff deposits the pollutants into lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters, and even our underground sources of drinking water. Over-fertilization of estuaries and bays can lead to massive algal blooms, the decay of which can create odors and rob the waters of life-sustaining oxygen. Sand and dirt usually ends-up in stream beds, bays, or shallow coastalareas, where it can alter stream flow and decrease the availability. of healthy aquatic habitat. Trash is without a doubt the simplest type of pollution to understand. It integfefres with enjoyment of our water resources, and many types can be health threat to' wil 1i e. Stormwater Management: Shoreline development and marina operations are two areas that can contribute to water quality problems. Shoreline development can cause stormwater, nonpoint soirrce and point source contributions. On October 11, 2002, theCT DEP, Bureau of Water. Management issued a Notice of a Public Hearing under Section 22a-430b of the Connecticut General Statutes for the General Permit for the Discharge of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (M34). The City of Groton has implemented Small MS 4 Stormwater Mangement Plan to identify potential sources of discharges and eliminate or mitigate their effects. The Plan addresses the following areas: Public partiCipation/Involvement Public Education and Outreach Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping Construction Site Runoff Control Post-Construction Runoff Control 13 The City'bi' Groton has'takenactions to prevent discharges into the New LOndonl-Iarhor ,a'ndt surroundingwaters Peri?Odieally?,,th? sheetsareCIBEan . 10161110 I: viedebnsand sand thatceuldfendup in the harbor and contribute to the nonmagnetic-insane harbor.

CLASS SB DESIGNATED USES These waters are designated for: habitat for marine ?sh, other aquatic life and wildlife; commercial shell?sh harvesting; recreation; industrial water supply; and navigation. CLASS SC . Class SC water quality results from conditions that are usually correctable through implementation of established water quality management programs to control point and nonpoint sources. Present surface water quality conditions frequently preclude the . attainment of one of more designated uses forClass SB waters or one or more Criteria for Class SB waters are not being consistently achieved. Class SC waters may be suitable for certain ?sh and wildlife habitat, certain recreational activities, certain aquaculture operations, industrial use and navigation. The Harbor Management Commission very strongly supports the goals of improving Water quality. M3. Recreational Uses In the Thames Street area, there .is informal swimming although the Commission discourages swimming on SC waters. There are picnic tables 'on the privately-owned abandoned abutment for the former Thames River Bridge, located just south of the railroadbridge The southern part of the City contains the following: a. Shennecossett Beach Club: This is a private club. Activities are swimming, and also, as a secondary activity, sailing off the beach with windsurfers and board boats. b. Eastern Point Beach: This City facility is used for swimming. There is also much scuba diving activity at this beach, principally in the off-season. c. UConn Avery Point Campus: This short beach on the property of the University of Connecticut at Avery Point is adjacent to the Shennecossett Beach Club. It is used by university personnel and invitees. There are walks and places for jogging and parking on the campus of the University of Connecticut at Avery Point. The facilities at the university are available to the general public. d. Baker Cove Subdivision Overlook: The Baker Cove Subdivision Overlook includes a public path from Shennecossett Road to the waterfront at Baker Cove. The site's waterfront offers views of a tidal marsh and its wildlife across thecove and Pine Island Bay to the south. Aircraft landing and departing from nearby Groton-New London Airport can also be seen. The . 2-vehicle "parking lot" is a small roadside pull-off area immediately on your le? as you enter the subdivision access road. A gravel access path leads to the overlook area. It begins just beyond the parking lot and turns to grass. Follow the grassy area and keep the large white fence to your right to reach the overlook. A bench for the public is to be provided at the end of the path". e. Bayberry Lan?e State Boat Launch: Located between Avery Point and Jupiter Point, this site offers large and small boat launching, trailer parking and scenic views of Pine Island and IS Bushy Point. Floating access pier available at this site. Public parking provided. To help you reach Bayberry Lane State Boat Launch, some routes leading to this site are posted with boat launch symbol signs. f. Birch Plain-Creek Park: This salt marsh estuarine system lies along Birch Plain Creek and offers an excellent habitat for a variety of animals. A gravel parking lot is provided and there are nice walking trails along the 'creek . g. Fort Street Landing: This parcel, located on Thames Street at the foot of Fort Street, was once used as a landing for Fort Griswold. Today it offers views of the New London Harbor and downtown New London?s waterfront. There are benches and a grass area from which one can view submarines and commercial and recreational boats as they travel the Thames River. No parking provided. b. Pine Island Bay and Baker Cove: In Pine Island Bay there is swimming off of moored boats and in front of residences. At Jupiter Point, there is a small private beach used by residents for swimming. Swimming from this beach does not con?ict with any other uses, although other uses may con?ict with sWimming in as much as they reduce water quality and pose a safety threat. Many residents also swim in front of their houses in both Pine Island Bay and Baker CoVe. Bird watching is popular in these two areas as well. Baker Cove ?anks the eastern side of Jupiter Point Peninsula. It is used by different people for a number of different, but often con?icting, purposes. It is transited by boaters who dock their boats in marinas accessed from Shennecossett Road as well as boaters wishing to access Bluff Point State Park and the Poquonnock River. . 2.13 Water?Dependent Educational Uses The followingare located on the campus at the Avery Point Branch of the University of Connecticut: a. The Marine Sciences Institute: This is the headquarters of the university's Department of Marine Science and Coastal Studies program. b. The Master's Program in Ocean Engineering: This program is managed by the university's Department of Marine Science. c. The Sea Grant Cooperative Extension Service: This organization is ?mded through both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (N 0AA) of the US Department of Commerce and the state. d. National Undersea Research Center (NURC): This programis ?mded by NOAA through the university. e. Project Oceanology: This program described above has its base here. The program Operates two large and several smaller boats. - f. The US. Coast Guard Research and Development Center: The Coast Guard provides engineering and support activities for the US Coast Guard in water operations. In addition, the Avery Point campus contains a branch of the University of Connecticut. Enrollment is approximately 600 day students. There are also evening courses, held by the 16 university. The Universityof Connecticut has constructed a largeoeducational building on the Avery Point campus to facilitate marine research and teaching act1v1t1es. Public Access In the southern part of the City, as shown in Fig. 2-9 on page 22, the following facilities are shown: a. . City Waterfront Property and Fishing Pier: The pr0perty contains two small stone piers, used in connection with the former hotel. These are used for ?shing by the public on an informal basis. (Location 11) The "Concrete Beach": This consists of a concrete ramp which extends for about 100 yards along the waterfront at Shore Avenue and Central Avenue. It is City owned, and unused at the present time. It was constructed to protect Shore Avenue from storm wave impact. The ramp appears too steep for easy launching of boats from trailers but might be used for dinghy storage and launching. (Location 3) Eastern Point Beach: This beach is open fer swimming typically ?'om MemorialDay weekend until Labor Day Weekend with life guards on duty. but in the non-swimming times of the year, it is open to the public for walking, passive recreation, ?shing, and scuba diving. There is more than a beach on this property. There are sections of rocky shoreline which are attractive for these kinds of activities. (Location 4) d. University of Connecticut: The university campus is open to the public for walking. Visitors are required to use the parking lot at the entrance. (Location 5) e. Bayberry Lane Boat Launch area: This state owned area consists of approximately 1.7 acre parcel containing a City of Groton sewer pump station. The area is partially paved and partially gravel surfaced. It provides parking space for approximately 30 car-trailer parking spaces. The permanent toilet facilities have been closed because of vandalism concerns and replaced with sporadically maintained port-a-potties. This site is the only formal public access to Pine Island Bay. The state has prepared plans for upgrading this facility and is currently revising them in response to comments received at a public hearing held recently. (Location 6) . f. Public Access Area at the Jupiter Point Subdivision: On Birch Plain Creek, the West Side Junior High School holds classes in the salt marsh area on the school property. (Location 9) - In the Thames Street area are located the following: a. Ken Streeter Launch area: This state owned area utilizes the state owned 1-95 northbound highway right of way under the Thames River Bridge. b. The privately-owned former bridge abutment south of the railroad bridge. c. The state park at the end of Fort Street, a small waterfront lawn area with benches. (Location 2) d. In addition, where possible, the City is acquiring public access easements at appropriate water?'ont sitesthrough the Coastal Site Plan Review Process, with the objective of eventually obtaining a signi?cant degree of public access to the waterfront. Throughout the City public street parking allows easy access for shoreside walks and viewing. All public access sites are illustrated on Figure 2-9 on page xx. 17 "Wm-a awn M.
