Due to the limited small access roads to the project area and the need to go through a downtown area, the Contractor will be required to deliver all stone to the work area by barge.

The contractor shall closely coordinate and schedule the loading and barging of any unsuitable stone removed from the existing jettyand placed in the Artificial Reefs at Shinnecock and Moriches Inlets with the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation as required by the Water Quality Certification.
