There is no additional estimated annual change to gross Medicaid expenditures as a result of the proposed amendment.

In F-2017-0181, “Lido Beach Salt Marsh Restoration - Rock Sill Installation”, the applicant, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), is proposing to place approximately 331 cubic yards of stone over geotextile fabric below mean high water, approximately 25 feet offshore of the Lido Beach Wildlife Management Area (WMA) shoreline at Middle Hempstead Bay and Reynolds Channel, Town of Hempstead, Nassau County. The rock sill is a design modification of previously proposed and permitted work which included installation of coir logs at the marsh restoration site. The initially proposed coir (coconut fiber) log alternative was eliminated due to the high wave energy climate at the site and need to protect and support the planted marsh vegetation from wind driven waves and boat wakes.

The current design will result in a reduced areal footprint of the project below mean high water resulting in less in-water fill and bottom coverage (-5,446 square feet) and, consequently, there will be less disturbance of the channel bottom. Previously proposed elements of the salt marsh restoration will remain, including planting of native, salt tolerant plant species(Spartina spp.; Juncus spp.); herbicidal (Glyphosate) spot treatment of existing Phragmites at the site; and excavation of several small channels/ runnels (1’ wide, 1’ deep) to reconnect waterlogged marsh plain with the main channel and facilitate drainage. The rock sill will be installed in three segments with openings between sill sections to enhance tidal exchange and fish passage. The design will result in the placement of an average of 1.32 cubic yards per linear foot of stone across the three segments with the sill approximately 3.5’ in height over the bottom. A three to four week construction period is anticipated with materials placed from barge at low tide. Turbidity curtains will be employed.

Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning any of the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 15 days from the date of publication of this notice or May 11, 2017.
