**As of June 7, 2024, this project has not yet been awarded. A timeline for the award has not yet been established.** This activity authorizes discharges of fill material and associated shoreline protection structures, including but not limited to, groins, wave screens, low profile stone sills, oyster reef sills, small geo-tubes, and coir logs, in subtidal and intertidal waters and tidal wetland along tidal shorelines for the construction and maintenance of living shorelines and/or beach nourishment for the purpose of shoreline erosion control only. A living shoreline has a footprint that is made up mostly of native material. Living shorelines incorporate vegetation or other living, natural "soft" elements along or in combination with some type of harder shoreline structure (e.g., oyster or mussel reefs or rock sills) for added protection or stability. Living shorelines should maintain the natural continuity of the land-water interface and retain or enhance shoreline ecological processes. Living shorelines must have a substantial biological component, either tidal fringe wetlands or oyster or mussel reef structures. Structures used to protect living shorelines should follow an order of preference that utilizes a small impact footprint. Low profile stone sills are not authorized for use with beach nourishment projects. All work authorized by this activity, including discharges, must comply with all activity-specific impact limits and requirements listed below, in addition to the general conditions of this permit (Sections 10 and/or 404; limited to all tidal waters).
