4 Village Creek Community Harbor Small, pleasure boat harbor in Village Creek Estuary. Established in Maintenance dredging on the harbor and/or channel in 1969, 1984, 1992, 1996, 2003, 2010, Funded by Village Creek Community Open to residents and non-residents Complete dock renovation in 2010 Power, water, lights, 49 slips. Village Creek Harbor & Estuary Salt Marsh Restoration Feasibility Study September 7 & 9,
5 Harbor and Channel maintained by conventional dredging since Village Creek is part of the Long Island Sound Dredge Management Plan (DMMP) Maintenance dredging on the harbor and/or channel in: 1969, 1984, 1992, 1996, 2003, 2010, 2017 Village Creek Harbor & Estuary Salt Marsh Restoration Feasibility Study September 7 & 9,
6 We share the Sound with New York State In April 2016, NYS Conditionally concurred with the U.S. EPA approval of the continuation of open water disposal at WLIS and CLIS. With the understanding that A goal of the regulation was to reduce or eliminate open-water disposal of dredged material into Long Island Sound. Village Creek Harbor & Estuary Salt Marsh Restoration Feasibility Study September 7 & 9,
7 New York State Opposes Open Water Disposal in Long Island Sound On August 18 th, New York State filed suit against the U.S. EPA to stop the approval of the Eastern Long Island Sound Disposal Site. (ELDS) This lawsuit is in response to the April 2016 EPA approval of the LI Sound Dredged Materials Management Plan (DMMP) This disposal site is similar to the Western Long Island Sound Site that serves Connecticut dredging projects at our end of the sound. NYS and environmental groups claim that open-water disposal of dredging materials introduces contaminants, harms shellfish and reduces water quality in the Sound. Village Creek Harbor & Estuary Salt Marsh Restoration Feasibility Study September 7 & 9,
8 The Future of Dredging in Long Island Sound An agreement made in 2005 between the EPA, the Army Corps, and the states of Connecticut and New York was supposed to create a plan that would reduce and phase out open-water dumping sites. The proposed amendment was intended to support the overarching goal of reducing or eliminating open water disposal by establishing standards and procedures that will encourage practicable alternatives to open water disposal. Those standards and procedures include a permanent dredging team that would look for alternatives to dumping as each project comes up. Alternatives like using the silt and sand to restore beaches or marshlands. Village Creek Harbor & Estuary Salt Marsh Restoration Feasibility Study September 7 & 9,

11 Project Objectives: Village Creek Salt Marsh Restoration Demonstration Preliminary Site Assessment - An analysis of existing vegetation in the surrounding marsh compared to historical photos of the site. Topographic and Bathymetric Survey - A topographic and bathymetric survey will be performed on the subject areas to determine the plant communities, the topography and likely areas for restoration. Sediment Characterization - The characteristics of the sediment for particle size and contaminants will be determined. Sediment Settling and Compaction Properties - Conceptual modeling will be performed to determine area and volume calculations. Design - The design of a saltmarsh restoration approach for the proposed target areas. Site Monitoring Baseline - A monitoring program baseline will be established to track the changes in the affected area.

27 Sediment Sampling & Analysis Elevated concentrations of metals in salt marsh soils. Concentrations consistent with Harbor samples Low levels of PAHs in Harbor samples. Concentrations consistent with urban runoff Concentrations of parameters at the NLT and Village Creek Harbor shoreline consistently lower Repositioning of material from Harbor to salt marsh consistent with beneficial reuse and antidegradation policies. This would need approval from DEEP Remediation Division Village Creek Harbor & Estuary Salt Marsh Restoration Feasibility Study September 7 & 9,
28 Sediment Repositioning Challenges Associated with Thin Layer Deposition Innovation: This type of project, while understood by DEEP in concept, has never been permitted (approved) and constructed in the state. Several departments within DEEP would need to review and approve of this plan. Regulatory Jurisdiction: Project will require permits from: DEEP (former) Office of Long Island Sound DEEP Remediation Division U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Norwalk Planning & Zoning Agency Ownership: Actual ownership of the salt marshes need to be established and coordination with abutting landowners will be required Village Creek Harbor & Estuary Salt Marsh Restoration Feasibility Study September 7 & 9,
