Shelter Island Commercial Fishing Wharf Project

The proposed project is the modernization of the existing commercial fishing marina at the existing Driscoll's Wharf (Driscol's) leasehold area. Proposed actions would include a demolition component, which is a condition of the lease with the existing tenant (Driscoll Marina Ltd.), and a waterside development component. The demolition component would remove Piers 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8; demolish Building E; and remove all soil, groundwater, and sediment contaminants from the leased premises. The tenant, Driscoll Marina Ltd., is responsible for all of the demolition component as part of the end-of-lease obligations, except removal of Pier 4, for which the District is the project proponent. The District is the project proponent for the waterside development component. The District proposes to reconstruct and operate Piers 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, which would also include new gangways, headwalks connecting piers, and a floating wave attenuator to the east of the existing leasehold. Coastal Development Permits (CDPs) are required to implement the proposed project. The project is designed to address existing deficiencies related to the age and condition of structures, and outdated operational conditions at the existing piers. Specifically, the project includes the following components: the Demolition Component and the Waterside Development Component.The Demolition Component consists of the following: demolition of the fish offloading pier (Pier 4); demolition of Piers 5 though 8; demolition of one landside building (Building E, also known as Building 4922); and removal of soil, groundwater, and sediment contaminants in various areas throughout site, as needed. The Waterside Development Component consists of the following: reconstruction of up to three floating dock piers (Piers 5, 7, and 8) and associated structures, such as new gangways and headwalks connecting the piers; construction of a floating platform to replace the existing Pier 6 for vessel loading and unloading; reconstruction of Pier 4 for unloading of fish, seafood, and related equipment; and installation of a floating wave attenuator east of the marina (outside of the existing leasehold).
