The term "this office" refers to the appropriate District or Division office of the Corps of Engineers having jurisdiction over the permitted activity or the appropriate official of that office acting under the authority of the commanding officer. You are authorized to perform work in accordance with the terms and conditions specified below: PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This Regional General Permit (RGP) authorizes the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to conduct work within waters of the United States related to the restoration, rehabilitation, and expansion of eelgrass (Zostera marina) within San Francisco Bay. Restoration activities will consist of planting approximately 46.8 acres of eelgrass and the removal of artificial structures which inhibit eelgrass expansion. Up to nine acres of eelgrass restoration per year is authorized under this RGP. Planting Methods: The two methods of eelgrass restoration planting are authorized: bareroot transplanting and seed buoys. Work shall occur between May and November. 1. Bareroot transplanting involves collecting vegetative shoots connected to a portion of the rhizome, and then manually planting them individually or in bunches using biodegradable anchors, such as bamboo skewers, to anchor them in the substrate. These transplants shall be placed in 1 meter² quadrats that have an average of 64 planting units. The number of quadrats at a site would be dependent upon the size of the site or planting conditions specific to the site. 2. Seed buoy restoration involves suspending flowering eelgrass shoots in mesh bags buoyed above the sediment of targeted restoration areas. Buoys would be anchored in place temporarily with cinderblocks measuring 39.4 x 19 x 8.9 centimeters. Cinderblocks will be spaced between one to five meters apart such that a one acre planting zone will have approximately 10 cinder blocks. Debris Removal: Artificial structures, debris typically found in the intertidal mudflat zone such as old tires, old fishing gear, anchors, abandoned vessels, wood piles, and creosote-treated wood, or general debris may inhibit restoration, rehabilitation, and expansion of eelgrass. This RGP authorizes the removal of artificial structures and debris as described above from a planting area and immediately adjacent areas. Removal work shall be conducted on-shore to the extent feasible with the use of equipment such as a crane truck. Debris removal shall occur between June and November. All work shall be completed in accordance with the plans and drawings titled “USACE File 2013-00408N, Eelgrass Restoration, Rehabilitation, and Expansion Projects in San Francisco Bay by NMFS, 05 June 2015, Figure 1 to 18 provided as enclosure 1.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY REGIONAL GENERAL PERMIT

PERMITTEE: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) PERMIT NO.: 2013-00408N ISSUING OFFICE: San Francisco District NOTE: The term "you" and its derivatives, as used in this permit, means the permittee or any future transferee. The term "this office" refers to the appropriate District or Division office of the Corps of Engineers having jurisdiction over the permitted activity or the appropriate official of that office acting under the authority of the commanding officer. You are authorized to perform work in accordance with the terms and conditions specified below: PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This Regional General Permit (RGP) authorizes the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to conduct work within waters of the United States related to the restoration, rehabilitation, and expansion of eelgrass (Zostera marina) within San Francisco Bay. Restoration activities will consist of planting approximately 46.8 acres of eelgrass and the removal of artificial structures which inhibit eelgrass expansion. Up to nine acres of eelgrass restoration per year is authorized under this RGP. Planting Methods: The two methods of eelgrass restoration planting are authorized: bareroot transplanting and seed buoys. Work shall occur between May and November.

1. Bareroot transplanting involves collecting vegetative shoots connected to a portion of the rhizome, and then manually planting them individually or in bunches using biodegradable anchors, such as bamboo skewers, to anchor them in the substrate. These transplants shall be placed in 1 meter² quadrats that have an average of 64 planting units.

ENG FORM 1721, Nov 86 2 (33 CFR pt. 325 (Appendix A))

PROJECT LOCATION: Fifteen sites in San Francisco Bay, California as depicted in enclosure 1, figure 1; including San Rafael Bay, Corte Madera Bay, Richardson Bay, and San Pablo Bay (enclosure 1, figures 2 to 16), within a depth range of -5.4 and -0.3 meters Mean Lower Low Water. PERMIT CONDITIONS: GENERAL CONDITIONS:

1. The time limit for completing the work authorized ends on 31 December 2020. If you find that you need more time to complete the authorized activity, submit your request for a time extension to this office for consideration at least one month before the above date is reached.

2. You must maintain the activity authorized by this permit in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. You are not relieved of this requirement if you abandon the permitted activity..

3. If you discover any previously unknown historic or archeological remains while accomplishing the activity authorized by this permit, you must immediately notify this office of what you have found. We will initiate the Federal and State coordination required to determine if the remains warrant a recovery effort or if the site is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

4. For your convenience, a copy of the water quality certification or waiver is attached. If a conditioned water

quality certification has been issued for your project, you must comply with the conditions specified in the certification as special conditions to this permit.

5. You must allow representatives from this office to inspect the authorized activity at any time deemed necessary to ensure that it is being or has been accomplished in accordance with the terms and conditions of your permit.

6. You understand and agree that, if future operations by the United States require the removal, relocation or other alteration of the structure or work authorized herein, or if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters, you will be required, upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove, relocate, or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States. No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal or alteration.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS:

1. The NMFS has concurred with the determination that the project was not likely to adversely affect Central Valley spring run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Central California Coast steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss), California Central Valley steelhead (O. tshawytscha), North American Green Sturgeon southern DPS (Acipenser medirostris), Sacramento River winter run Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), and designated critical habitat for these species. This concurrence was premised, in part, on project work restrictions outlined in enclosure 3. These work restrictions are incorporated as special conditions to this authorization for your project to ensure unauthorized incidental take of species and loss of critical habitat does not occur.

2. A work plan for each year’s proposed restoration activities shall be submitted to the Corps at least 60 days prior to the start of restoration work for the year. At a minimum, these notifications shall include work descriptions, locations with maps, estimated acres, estimated volume of fill to be placed, and schedules for restoration activities expected to be implemented. The Corps will provide notification within 30 days if any of the proposed work is determined to have more than minimal adverse impacts and therefore not authorized by this permit.

3. An annual report on work completed shall be submitted no later than December 31st. This report shall include a

ENG FORM 1721, Nov 86 3 (33 CFR pt. 325 (Appendix A))

description of actual work performed, specifically noting any changes from the pre-work notification.

4. Annual monitoring of restored eelgrass beds is required and shall be as non-destructive as possible. Monitoring may involve evaluation of acres created, enhanced or expanded, percent of vegetated cover, shoot density, plant height, seedling recruitment and survival, or other parameters NMFS has identified as necessary to evaluate success of restoration efforts. A comprehensive monitoring report shall be submitted to the Corps by December 31 for five years following the completion of in-water restoration work.

5. Adherence to US Coast Guard procedures shall be followed if any debris to be removed from San Francisco Bay during project implementation poses a risk of hazardous material release, e.g., abandoned vessels.

6. Eelgrass restoration work shall not occur within 350 meters, as measured along the waterway, of the operations of the Port of San Francisco, Port of Oakland, and Port of Richmond berths and basins, or within 350 meters of publically maintained navigation channels, except as can be demonstrated by historic mapping, that eelgrass has previously occupied these areas. Eelgrass restoration shall not be conducted directly within any private or commercially maintained marina.

7. A consistency determination was received by the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (C2014.003.00). You must comply with the conditions specified in the certification as special conditions to this permit.

8. NMFS will consult with the San Francisco National Estuarine Research Reserve to assess sediment trapping and

deposition for any proposed restoration work along the shoreline of China Camp State Park.

9. Boats used to access restoration sites shall be properly cleaned and shall not anchor in any sensitive habitat. Work shall be as non-destructive to aquatic habitat as possible and limits to the amount of donor material used would be implemented based on supply.

10. No work with vibratory hammer shall be conducted within one mile of potential Ridgeway’s rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus) habitat.

11. Silt curtains shall be installed to contain sediment laden water during debris and structure removal. If piles break off, they shall be cut two feet below the mud line or at the mud line when in contaminated sediment.

12. The work period at a site shall be limited to 14 days.

13. Work shall be conducted at low tide.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

1. Congressional Authorities: You have been authorized to undertake the activity described above pursuant to:

(x) Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. Section 403). (x) Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. Section 1344).

2. Limits of this authorization:
