In addition, the project will place full coverage of R4 stone across 1.7 acres of an existing reef with a targeted height of 10 inches off the river bottom. Finally, one of the existing reef footprints will be expanded by 2.4 acres also using full coverage of R4 stone. All reef substrate will need to be placed mechanically to ensure precise placement, able to be recorded by a GPS system. As-built surveys will be required to ensure the targeted reef height is met. Reef substrate will be installed per the plan drawings and specifications on the project site(s) in water depths ranging from approximately 7.0� MLLW to 14� MLLW.
