Requested by AED. Background:Augusta Canal Basin Dredging (Lake Olmstead, Lake Aumond, Heirs Ponds and Warren Lake) are approved projects. In 2017 the Corps released dredging permit for Hiers Pond and Lake Aumond and dredging of these two waterbodies was completed in 2018. AED continued to work with the Corps for release of Lake Olmstead and Warren Lake dredging permit. In July 2019 AED secured the permit and initiated letting the project for preparation of Disposal Site drainage system as a first phase of Lake Olmstead sediment removal. Letting of Lake Olmstead sediment removal will be followed by substantial completion of phase 1. However, purchase of wetland mitigation from a primary service area mitigation bank is prerequisite of issued 404 permits. It has been determined by the US Corps of Engineers (USACE) that additional 30.55 wetland mitigation credits will have to be purchased to mitigate the impacts to emerging wetlands as result of sediment removal. The wetland mitigation credits will be purchased from Merry Land Properties, LLC (Phinizy Swamp Mitigation Bank) at a cost of $14,500 per wetland credit. Phinizy Swamp is a local mitigation bank and Richmond County primary service area USACE approved mitigation bank. Analysis:Purchase of Mitigation Credit is pre-requisite of issued 404 Permits and to commence construction/dredging activities at this project. A timely purchase of required credits is critical to commence dredging.
