table for a dock. There are now 7 listed Endangered Species Act corals, Acropora palmata, A. aniC0171iS, Orbialla amndaris, O. faveolata,O. franksi,Dendrogyra cylthdrus and Myatophylla ferox. We will need to avoid these corals because we would have to go through Section 7 consultation and get a "take permi

mitting agencies for all in water construction and structures. Because the area has reefs containing Acroporapalmata and A cervicornis,Orbicella spp.Dendrogyra and Mycetophylla special coral surveys will be required by NMFS. It will be of the utmost importance to avoid reefs to reduce the potential of havin

step taken to avoid the corals and what measures will be taken during the dock construction and cable lay to prevent impact to these species. 6.10 Air Quality: The impact on air quality during the cable lay and dock will be discussed. 7.00 Impact of Proposed Modification on the Human Environment 7.01 Land
