<br />The contractor for the job could use the existing paved trail at the north and south ends of the project <br />as two staging areas. Heavy equipment could access the southern portion of the construction site <br />using Neptune Drive and the existing paved trail. The number of construction workers on the site <br />would average between five and 20 workers each day, depending on the demand of the work (Chen, <br />2005). <br /> <br />Anticipated Permits and Funding <br /> <br />The project would require water and wetland-related permits from regional, state, and federal <br />agencies, such as U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 and Section 7 permits, a California <br />Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Water Quality Certification (401 permit), and a <br />permit from the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC). The project has already <br />received preliminary approval from the U.S. Coast Guard, based on design plans that show the <br />bridge will be constructed at an elevation three feet (0.3 meter) above the projected 100-year flood <br />level of9.69 feet (NA VD 88). <br /> <br />The project is being funded by a combination of funds from Alameda County Measure B, the <br />Association of Bay Area Governments, East Bay Regional Park District, and potential TEA 21 and <br />other federal funding. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative for the new bridge <br />and trail is $2.21 million. . <br /> <br />Y4204IS.00693.doc - 4/5/07 <br /> <br />-7- <br />
