DESCRPTO OF WORK: The applicant proposes to expand the existing marina which currently extends 85 feet into the Ohio River and spans 486 linear feet from upstream to downstream. The proposed expansion would include additional boat slips, expand the existing head boat, and extend the marina riverward. The maximum riverward projection of the expanded marina would be 118 feet at normal pool elevation of feet Ohio River Datum (ORD). The proposed marina expansion would span 890 linear feet from upstream to downstream of the Ohio River. Currently, Aquaramp Marina has an existing dock downstream of the marina adjacent to the existing boat ramp. These docks have been removed for the winter months and are typically placed back in the river in the summer months. The proposed modification would include two spuds being driven into the river bottom to permanently place these docks at the existing boat ramp. The docks would extend into the river 90 feet and would be 150 linear feet from upstream to downstream of the Ohio River.
